AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What should we do when we are 80šŸ™„?

Let me make it a little more concrete.

When people grow old, many people eventually pass away. I donā€™t like to use the word death, so they pass away into another dimension.

Letā€™s say, suppose you got a telegram that today is my last day then where will I go and what should I do?
Now imagine your watch is ticking and there is only one hour left to live. Now you canā€™t go to the family they are away and your mobile charger is down and you cannot charge it. You are full in the stomach so you cannot even order a good food, your legs are not working, TV is plugged out so what will you do in that one hour?

Now it is said when you are going to depart there are two kinds of ideas about it. One is the materialistic idea that there is nothing, you will just wither away. Another is just before you depart, it has been said by some who have explored this domain that suddenly God or his angel appears before you and imagine he came before you, just imagine he is standing before you and told you, ā€œAsk anything you want, ask.ā€
You have one hour to live or maybe a few moments to live, what will you ask?

Now God appears and gives you five options, 1. You can spend time with your family 2. You can watch TV 3. He says, Iā€™ll get you the best pizza from Italy 4. You have a future life ahead and I am going to make it as beautiful as you want to it to be, now you see you are thinking only of your family and other menial things, then he gives you another option 5. I am going to make you the most beautiful human being in time to come.

So I would ask you a question in return, ā€œwhen you have a beautiful life for yourself, does it not automatically in a sense become beautiful for others?ā€ Itā€™s like a rose blooming, when it blooms donā€™t we all get the joy? So when we have a beautiful life within, it radiates to all.

Now if I tell you every moment you have this same choice, every time you wake up you have this choice, itā€™s just that we donā€™t know what is going to happen.

So what choice will you make every day? So now the best is coming, one is going beyond pizza, TV and fun and we grow in into the best possible, so thatā€™s what we should strive for and if we live like every day we are ready for the last season.

If all our life we are thinking of only children and grandchildren, what will happen in the last season? We will do the same in the last season. If all our life, we are thinking of pizza and TV then in the last season also we will do this only.

So in the end whatever we are occupied in our whole life that we will be pre occupied in the last season as well. So you decide what your last season you want to be and let your pre-occupation start from today because what we are preoccupied with in the last moments decides our future life and the passage after death.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Why some people suffer so much in their lives both physically and mentally while others get everything smooth both mentally and physically? Yesterday I went to meet my 82 year old neighbour who is suffering from cancer for the past four years. Her treatment is going on and she was fine till June 2024 but now she has become very weak and suffering from multiple myeloma. One can see pain and suffering in her eyes. After meeting her I felt it is better to die than to live in this conditionšŸ˜­. Is this suffering due to what we call prarabdh or is it something else? And why not death comes and take lives of such persons who are suffering a lot because it is very painful to live in such condition?

That earthly life has its burden of suffering is obvious. The difference exists in theories about the cause of suffering. The wise say its root cause is ignorance. What is meant by this term is that we do not know who we are or why we are here? We do not know the play of forces and the way to master them? Let us apply …

Why was this world šŸŒ made? You explained it beautifully, but Iā€™m an atheist and donā€™t believe it was created by a power. If I did, I wouldnā€™t be asking this question.

Normally one would this question only if one believed that there is a Conscious Being or Power that has gone into the making of this world. If one is an Atheist then the right question would be not why but how this world was made. Because non-belief in a Conscious Wisdom and Force that has gone into…

What were the events that turned the following wars? Ramayana, Mahabharata, World War 1 šŸ’£and World War 2. I believe the World War 2’s turning point was Dunkirk or was it when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister or I might be wrong? Please explain.

All these three or four major wars took place during the time of the three Avatars who had come to establish dharma consistent with the dawn of a new age. Therefore these wars can very well be seen as the last ditch attempt for the forces of adharma to resist the new age being ushered by the Avatar. Therefore each war has a spiritual as well as physical turning point.

The spiritual turning point is when the forces of adharma took an extreme step that invited a strong recoil as well as a Divine Intervention. Such a point for the Ramayana war that
