AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Sometimes, the discouragement from my family makes me lose confidence😄. How can I overcome this, especially when I don’t have any miracles to show them as proof that my prayers are working?

Miracles have very little to do with faith. There are plenty of forces in the vital world,Ā  some of them even Asuric (like the genii in the bottle) who can do things for you and make one’s soul a captive of the world.Ā  One does not love the Divine because He can do miracles for us, – that would be business and not love, but because He is the companion of good and bad days, because He is sweet and mighty and loving and benevolent and compassionate. Not that miracles do not happen but the focus should not be on that. Besides there are miracles that we never get to know wherein we are saved from something that was to happen but did not because the Divine averted it silently.Ā  As to family it depends upon how we take it. When the family is not understanding, one can turn it into a blessing by turning all our emotions towards the Divine rather than being absorbed in the family.Ā 

Affectionately,

What helps handling these strong sexual impulses is to stay as busy as one can be, especially with a work that can be done in the Mother’s service. The other thing is to do…
