AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

To deepen my sadhana, could you please clarify what it truly means to “turn toward the Divine within,” and how that differs from mere prayer? Does this inner turning aim to remove life’s hardships and fulfill desires, or does it serve a higher transformative purpose? 🕉️💗🔥🙏🏻[…]

Lastly, what is the essential difference between experiencing God dwelling within us versus calling upon Him as an external power?

Turning towards God means seeking God not for what you want from Him but because of wanting Him for His own sake, because He is so lovable. But prayers are generally because one wants something from Him rather than God Himself. 

Turning towards God not only takes away our difficulties but removes our desires that are the source of so much unhappiness.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
