AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Suffering

Thank you, Alok da, for answering my question from yesterday on a passage of the Synthesis of Yoga. However, I would like to clarify one specific point based on the understanding I shared earlier. Let me take a hypothetical example. Suppose, for a particular individual, the Divine Intention/Will is that he should go through a life of considerable struggle. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ[…]

I understand the difficulty. The Vedas speak of basically two operating systems to which we are subject. The first is when we are being schooled

Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth โ€” as in Savitri, where the soul โ€œdrinks experience like a strengthening wine.โ€ Is this broadly correct? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ‚

Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and

My Brother, The Forms you had created for our safety have been dissolved by me. I don’t know whether you told me to do so or I took it wrongly for any specific reason or not. How will those forms be recreated, or will we get a better option? Please do something; we are in pain and suffering. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชทโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Pray to the Mother with complete faith and surrender.

Take Her Name, Naamjapa, inwardly as much as you can.

Read Savitri loudly everyday.

If Divine Mother can help us and give us thrice the dose required, then why is there so much suffering on earth? What does She do when hundreds and thousands of children die from hunger and poverty every year? Where is She when thousands of our mothers and sisters are raped and tortured mercilessly? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿฅ€[…]

One can fully understand the space from which this question comes. When we look at this world in all its grim and sordid aspects (and

If one realizes that trying to change others is a cycle of ignorance, how can they help those who have no apparent need for inner growth without forcing them into suffering, and is the “spark” of transformation solely the work of Grace, requiring us to let go of the urge to “fix” others? โณ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ‘ โ†’ ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ

The Divine is the unchanging stable basis of everything but He is also in the change. That is why people are compelled to change despite

If Karma is fundamentally a process of learning from ignorance rather than a system of punishment, how do we reconcile the suffering caused by “asuric” acts committed in that ignorance, and how can one maintain faith in the Divine’s control while struggling to see the spiritual purpose behind such cruelty? โš–๏ธโ™ป๏ธ๐Ÿชƒ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Yes, thank you for the question and your dilemma or confusion as you call it is quite understandable. In Indian thought, the root of evil

Sir, why in Sadness and in Grief, we seem to be more Open to the Divine Mother? I was reading lines of Savitri and the Mother’s Prayer, tears flowed, my centre shifted to Heart(effortlessly), I felt the absorption of the Consciousness, my breath rate increased, I couldn’t hold myself for a while. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒผ[…]

Grief is a state of intense concentration and can, if the consciousness makes just a little shift open the doors the Divine. As the Mother

One of my friends and his family have been going through a very tough life for almost 20+ years. It does make me feel sad, but I ask the Divine Grace to be upon that family and let His will be done. So when we hear about people suffering for a long time, especially someone who is a close friend, how should we face this emotionally? ๐Ÿซ‚โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒท

Suffering is everywhere. There is not a single person who is not suffering one way or another. What is surprising is that human beings hardly
