AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

While I understand that Helen had to leave her daughter for a greater work (though on the surface it seems selfish), I want to know what kind of compensation such souls, who have suffered directly for the Divine, get. Do they get some special Grace and do they get to be near the Divine as Avatars?⛵👑🦢🔥🏰

Yes, certainly. As the Mother put it, ‘there is a divine recompense for every struggle and suffering.’ Generally this recompense is in the form of an evolutionary leap. Savitri calls is as ‘digging a tunnel through emergency.’ Here are few lines from Savitri that reveal this subtle but profound truth.

‘He saw in Night the Eternal’s shadowy veil,

Knew death for a cellar of the house of life,
In destruction felt creation’s hasty pace,
Knew loss as the price of a celestial gain
And hell as a short cut to heaven’s gates.’

Of course in this particular instance we are not told as to what was her past and the future. We see only a little fragment and since the unfolding is hidden from us, our heart naturally reacts with pity and pain. But there is always a divine recompense and in fact, it is the soul that choses this passage, this difficult destiny that the surface mind abhors, to take a leap. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time if i make a promise to myself that i will not ask unnecessary things and face difficulties myself seems not the right thing to do.

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. 🌿🕊️[…]

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
