AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

This experience has really shaken me up. I don’t know if in a good way or a bad way. Like everything I had been escaping/avoiding. My perfectionist ideals came falling apart. My inability to handle it – as I’ve never been too close to a person or in a relationship before. 💔😢🍂[…]

He is nicer than most people I’ve met. As a person. As a human. Good heart. I was scared. Most people have disappointed me in life. Even childhood school friends. As long as I was available for them, okay. When I started defining boundaries. Then not. Felt negative. Human relationships Convenience need based. 

When we are broken, then we have a real chance of rebuilding ourselves. Take all this as an opportunity to discover yourself, to cultivate faith and courage, to develop trust in the Divine. 

As to human relationships, they are a reflection of what an average humanity is at present, a mixed bag at best, rarely something beautiful showing through in thoughts and actions. One has to keep evolving oneself, accepting the little joys and sorrows that come our way as steps to help us grow. In any case, one should never become a cynic. Instead, be a willing optimist and always full of hope.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Last night I had a dream in which I was enjoying myself with my friends; the girl I loved was also part of the gathering. But now the group which I saw there is mostly scattered and we don’t have the same intensity of friendship between us. Is this just a subconscient thing coming up? Or is there any significance behind this? 🌙💭🤝🙏🏻 […]

Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
