AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is identification? Why does identification happen in human beings? Why do we identify with some things, not with others? How is identification different from love? ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Identification is extremely rare. It means knowing something or someone inside out. It is not pity, kindness, or even sympathy. It is to become the one with whom one identifies.ย 

Love is the swiftest way that leads us to Identification as it breaks the barriers between the self and the other. Once the identification takes place, then love changes from a seeking, striving, reaching out for union to a state of realising the ‘other’ as oneself, the joy of multiplicity, the joy of extension and inner nearness and constant inner togetherness.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Thank you for your guidance. Through recent reflection, I realized my struggles stemmed from a lack of true sincerityโ€”reacting from superficial judgments, unnecessary fear, and wavering faith rather than seeing things with humility and patience. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™[…]

To recognize the insincerities is itself a great step forward towards sincerity. Most people, even in the Yoga or so they believe, are unable to see their own hidden insincerities. It is indeed a Grace and the sign of the true spiritual life growing in you.
