AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What are the indications one should look for to renounce things of the past to leap towards a new future? For instance, if one has to move countries, change jobs, renounce one ideal for another one – in all these how does one take the correct decision of leaping from one stage of life to another? One feels mental indications are not that reliable🤨.

There are no outer indications on which one can rely. Equally the mind is a poor guide weighing pros and cons. The sure indication can only come from the inmost heart. But for that the emotions and desires have to be quietened. One has to look carefully if these are masquerading as the voice of truth. It is then that one experiences the imperative urge, the sure inspiration,  the convincing feeling and then……one takes a leap of faith. It requires courage, the clarity about the goal, the readiness to go through whatever it takes, an absolute trust that this is it and all the rest pales in the background. There are no calculations, one accepts the challenge of destiny and takes it. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
