AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Is choosing a career path like CA solely for material goals such as travel and financial freedom, rather than as an expression of one’s Inner Truth and will, a sustainable way to avoid future regret, or does true success require a deeper alignment between one’s work and inner being?👨🏼‍💼🗺️⛰️

What do you think about the CA course? It may help me achieve my material goals also. My Wish of exploring the world, getting my bike, and travelling the Himalayas, all this cannot be achieved by a 9-5 Govt Job. Isn’t it a good idea? I know, I have asked you so many times about my career, but I don’t want to regret it in the future. So I have to clear all my doubts, and hope you are OK with this.

Where there is a will, there is a way. In my fairly vast experience, I have seen that the job one does hardly matters. What really matters is the will and aspiration within, especially the faith in things that one wants to achieve. In any case, a job is not meant to be taken up for money and time considerations. It is like marrying someone only for money and looks. For these things do not last. When one has to spend a lifetime with a job or with a person, it should be based on something deeper and enduring. A job should be an expression of your inner angst, of your will to be. It should be your means to climb the inner heights of self-discovery and self-expression. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da, I have got attached to someone after a physical intimacy (kind of night stands – about 4-5) but he is not. how to handle it.

I am afraid of conveying my feelings to him as I know he is not going to reciprocate. I am just always craving his proximity, which i know is my problem.. How can I be at peace?? I want to detach myself from those feelings i have towards him?

What has happened has happened. It serves no purpose looking back and feeling bad. Life gives several learning lessons. This is one of them and a very precious one. One needs to understand that the way a woman feels and experiences life is very different from the …

Administering medicine to my 1-year-old daughter is a challenge. She was underweight according to Australian standards and had a low appetite, so the doctor has suggested iron and multivitamin drops, which she absolutely despises. Initially, I would give them forcefully and we would both end up in tears. 👶🏻🩸😥🙏🏻🌼[…]

First with regard to the value of an action. It is not the action itself but the intent that matters most. Whatever you did was an act of love, with utmost goodwill for your child. That is all that is needed. I am sure this love and goodwill and your prayers all have gone into her improvement and not just the medicines…
