AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What does it mean to love from afar? How does one love if one is not able to communicate, send tokens of remembrance, or express affection through service? :) 

Asked by 22 year old

If the basis of love is true, moved by some soul remembrance or psychic affinity, then it can burn silently in the quiet chambers of the heart. The possibility of such a rare love has been immortalized in the story of Radha and Krishna. It has been the subject of two wonderful plays by Kalidasa, – Meghdootam and Nala Damayanti. Even in ordinary life, men on duty in distant places continue to love inspite of the separation. It may not be common but it is possible,  it has happened and continues to happen even today. 

Of course physical contact is necessary at some point of the unfolding of love but there is a difference between love based upon the body and love based upon something deeper and inner.  Of course fullness of love does require the interchange through the vital and mental beings but if it were denied due to circumstances the flame of love fed by the fuel of sacrifice of desires can continue to burn forever.  

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is no need to bring in god. All that is needed is to talk to him. Let him express his feelings freely to you. While he is expressing his feelings you can inwardly remember God and keep offering all that he is speaking and you are hearing to the Divine. Your offering and prayers will be as effective or even more.

One should be passive only to the Divine Will. If one is sure of the Divine Will in the quietude of one’s inmost heart, then one can be passive to It and obey unconditionally. But otherwise, when one is labouring in ignorance,…
