AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What do you make from a yogic stance of the political situation in America and Trump🤔?

Men are tools of deeper forces. Right now America is under a great pressure of the New Consciousness towards the needed change. Whatever is happening and whatever yet will happen is going to facilitate the inevitable change. The present President seems unpredictable in his decisions but if we look closely there is a method and a logic behind the unpredictability. I think he means well with regard to the America first policy which any nationalist government should consider. His difficulty is that he is not so much of a politician and diplomat as he is a hard bargaining businessman. Hence he is upsetting the traditional idea of what a politician should be, how he should speak and what he should do. This is because of an impulsive side to his nature but often such men can be used by the Divine better to accomplish things than a reflecting, thinking person. My intuitive feeling is that he has been brought back to power with a purpose. We should wait and see and look beyond the immediate good according to our limited notions. His presidency is likely to change America for good and in a better way, more aligned to the Divine Will. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
