AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What to do if there is something Divine has given us to do and we keep failing and time is running out? Divine also try with us and still we fail. It is Divine’s will and still it does not succeed. As if Divine is also subjected to nature and cannot overcome it. How can it be because I thought the Divine is all powerful🫤?

The Divine is indeed all-powerful and if one refuses to give up and is ready to endure with faith the battle and the struggle in the passage from darkness to light then indeed the Divine Victory is certain, much more certain than today’s and yesterday’s countless failures. The forces of darkness and ignorance do not release the soul so easily. They had a role to play in the early stages of our development but when the time comes to hand the soul over to the Light they act like over zealous mothers who keeps the baby tied to her apron strings.

Is it because in the material world specially in body, Divine does not have the full power over nature?

Yes it takes long, very long for the Divine Forces to penetrate into matter. And if too much pressure is put matter simply breaks down beating the whole purpose. Hence the Divine Force though Omnipotent gradually increases the pressure calibrating it with our capacity to bear it. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Your words give peace and a renewed strength to endure and fight the battle.

Remember always that indeed there is nothing impossible for the Grace and if the time taken is long and the inner and outer challenges much more, then the Grace will always be in proportion. It also means that destiny is preparing you for a great work in times to come.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self.

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
