AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The new world has started taking shape but I still cannot believe how Monarchy is going on in countries like UK? if you see their news papers the front page is filled with events by the Crown, I feel an age when democracy is also going to be outdated why is still there monarchy in certain countries? Can you share you view on this point please ๐Ÿ˜

Yes it seems to be a nation thriving on hypocrisy. Perhaps it is difficult for them to accept the situation that Time and Destiny has brought them to. It is like a full circle from the days of complete control of the Crown over large portions of the world won by deceit and force to a nation that is shrinking on every parameter. Hence the desperate need to hold on to the Crown which appears especially as a stark contrast to the ideal of democracy which the European countries claim to stand for. But when have nations been faithful to their ideals. As Sri Aurobindo observed.

‘When Asiatics massacre, it is an atrocity; when Europeans, it is a military exigency. Appreciate the distinction and ponder over this world’s virtues.’

Hypocrisy and double standards seem to be the dominant virtue of the Western world today.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her and connect with Her. Who else one would call? She is The Mother and She would very much want that Her children call Her in distress rather than sink into despair. There is no error She cannot rectify, no mistake She …

Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI.

One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates came up, small businesses felt threatened. So too with the drones taking over the battlefield the warriors role is changing. Robocops may be next. Similarly will impact the knowledge based work. However the change will be a shift of roles as we see in the other examples. AI will still be …

Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. ๐Ÿชž๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of true reconciliation begins by finding the psychic being which automatically widens us and sees the real and unreal defects of others with generosity and compassion. But the critical mind takes almost a perverse pleasure in fault-finding though most often its assessments are mistaken as it sees only a …
