AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Suppose I do a wrong karma knowingly like told a little lie to my friend. Then he suffered a little though a small suffer, still he suffered only because of my just a silly lie. Then definitely it returned to me & I felt it. Then I smiled, Oh; due to my morning lie I just came across this situation in the afternoon. Question is any karma can be melt by The Divine?๐Ÿชƒ๐Ÿ”„๐ŸŽกโš–๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Are there any experiment or past history by knowingly did a bad karma & by the grace of divine mother it vanished away.

Though term & condition is not to repeat that wrong karma again. But due to personal ego only these things are happening. 

There are plenty of examples but that apart, the law of karma is never about reward and punishment! It is not a tribunal of justice but a law of growing awareness. If you become conscious of the faultline and work towards rectifying it then the effects too become subtler and subtler. If you become completely conscious and do the needed change within you then no consequences follow. But if you continue to act unconsciously then the consequences become more and more serious until you start taking note.

The Mother describes this quite comprehensively.

‘for example, if one is in a body with an inadequate will or some distortion in the thought, or an egoism too… too hardened, and it ends in suicide, it is dreadful. I have seen this many times, it creates a dreadful karma that can be repeated for lifetimes on end before the soul can conquer it and manage to do what it wants. And each time, the conditions become more difficult, each time it requires a still greater effort. And people who know this say, ‘You cannot get out!’ In fact, it is this kind of desire to escape which pushes you into more foolish things3 that result in a still greater accumulation of difficulty. There are momentsโ€”moments and circumstancesโ€”when no one is there to help you, and then things become so … horrible, the circumstances become so abominable.

But if the soul has had but ONE call, but ONE contact with the Grace, then in your next life you are put in the conditions, once, whereby EVERYTHING can be swept away at one stroke. And at this present moment on earth, you cannot imagine the number of people I have metโ€”that is, the number of soulsโ€”who had reached out towards this possibility with such an intensityโ€”and they have all found themselves on my path.

At that point, sometimes a great courage is needed, sometimes a great endurance is needed, sometimes a true love is enough, sometimes, oh! if only faith were there, one thing, one tiny little thing is enough, and … everything can be swept away. I have done it often; there are times when I have failed. But more often than not I have been able to remove it. But then, what is needed is a great, stoical courage or a capacity to endure and to SEE IT THROUGH. The resistance (especially in cases of former suicide), the resistance to the temptation of renewing this stupidity creates a terrible formation. Or else this habit of fleeing when suffering comes: flee, flee, instead of … absorbing the difficulty, holding on.

But just this, a faith in the Grace, or an awareness of the Grace, or the intensity of the call, or else naturally the responseโ€”the response, the thing that opens, that breaksโ€”the response to this marvelous love of the Grace.

It is difficult without a strong will; and above all, above all the capacity to resist the temptation, which was the fatal temptation throughout all one’s livesโ€”because its power builds up. Each defeat gives it renewed force. But a tiny victory can dissolve it.

Oh, the most terrible of all is when one does not have the strength, the courage, something indomitable! How many times do they come to tell me, ‘I want to die, I want to flee, I want to die.’โ€”I say, ‘But die, then, die to yourself! No one is asking you to let your ego survive! Die to yourself since you want to die! Have that courage, the true courage, to die to your egoism.’

But because it is karma, one must, one must DO something oneself. Karma is the construction of the ego; the ego MUST DO something, everything cannot be done for it. This is it, THIS is the thing: karma is the result of the ego’s actions, and only when the ego abdicates is the karma dissolved. One can help it along, one can assist it, give it strength, bestow courage upon it, but the ego must then make use of it.’

In the writings of the Mother, many times she said, ‘a child of mine can’t fear’ or ‘what can he fear who belongs to the divine’. Is there any difference in the action of the Divine Grace on the persons who are sadhaks and those who have not yet started the journey? ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒ„

The Grace is equally for all but since the sadhaks are more open and receptive as well as more prone to attacks, especially when a sadhak has surrendered oneself to the Divine, then quite naturally a special Grace accompanies….

I have been in a relationship for the past 4 years. I am attached to the person intensely (same from the other side) and I don’t know how to stop being so aggressively attached. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒผ[…]

Attachments, expectations, wanting to be the closest are all natural in human love. It is a package wherein the core of love gets covered by a whole set of emotions and passions and the conditioning from the past. It is not easy to just get rid of it in one stroke while keeping the love intact. Even when the mind understands that …
