AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why are we humans so eager for others to realize their mistakes within a short time? Why are we so focused on others instead of understanding that it’s human nature to take time and that we should learn to be patient🤨?

But more importantly seeing others mistakes and advising them is one of the ways of avoiding to see our own. Anyone who has worked upon oneself knows how difficult it is to get rid of one’s own defects or even to see it honestly. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes, that is how the extreme reductionist view works. Of course medicines have their own limited role when the mind enters a too chaotic or extreme phase. But it is not enough. And yes turning to the Divine Mother is always …

In the picture, I saw a one floor building, in a shape of a perfect square and with no roof on it. The building was further sectioned into 4 perfect squares. There were also non 🌙✨ […]

It is not just a dream but a very beautiful experience that revealed to you the truth of your destiny, your true destiny, even a glimpse of your true being, the central being in its Divine Home. That is what the square opening to the top indicates. The four perfect …
