AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What does a ‘Peaceful Life’ look like in a modern, high-stress environment? How can I maintain Inner Peace when facing external conflicts? ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒผ

A peaceful life is one that is independent of the environment. It is a life lived no more for the satisfaction of desires or for the ego-self but for the Divine, for fulfilling the Divine Will in us. If we do that, then we will be peaceful even on the battlefield. Otherwise, we can only find a semblance of peace or conditional peace by setting aside a time to withdraw from the outer conditions and try to come in contact with the Divine through meditation and quiet contemplation. But this is obviously a limited peace dependent upon certain practices. The Yoga of the Gita gives us the perfect solution.ย

Not sure what you mean by lower energies of people getting absorbed. The human system is not an entirely closed container. The body and mind of each person is constantly engaged in an energy interchange all the time. And since most human beings live in the vital, the transaction also takes place mostly at the vital level. Most …
