AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What are Pitru Doshas? Why do they affect some individuals and not others? Why is it that despite doing the required rituals, they don’t nullify and keep affecting generations? What can one do to nullify them? πŸ™‚πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒΈπŸŒ»

Pitru dosha are supposed to be the shadows we carry through generations in a family. It is a purely astrological concept and is not necessarily validated by spiritual experience. The prescribed rituals hardly work and more often than not keep strengthening our faith in these things, thereby making it worse. Rather, one should grow conscious of the spiritual elements in oneself, nourish the spiritual side of the personality, grow spiritually conscious and turn towards the Divine with complete faith in the Grace. That can and does dissolve everything if one has the required patience and the trust and confidence in the Divine Grace.Β 

That, after all, is the story of Bhagirath, who carries the burden of the wrongdoings of his ancestors. It is by turning towards and invoking the purifying force of the Divine Grace that he helps the ancestors and gets rid of their karmic baggage. To invoke the Divine Grace is the great secret, the greatest secret.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime. I am not speaking merely of physical things. All the inner things that I am giving you all the time, all the strength, light, energy and life that are being poured into you all the time, are meant for the service of the Divine, for the sake of transforming you. If you use them for any other purpose, you are a robber and your crime is the worst possible.” ~ The Mother (CWM 13:183)

It means that all the capacities that we have, – physical, vital, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, should be offered at the Feet of the Divine for His Work and Service. Most of the time however we take these capacities to be …
