AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why do I feel like I’m failing every day when doing Yoga?

Yoga does not necessarily move in an uninterrupted straight line. Some days you will progress very far, and other days you will progress very slowly. There are days when you may feel like you’re only meeting resistance, and some days it seems like you’re taking a step backwards. All this happens because we are composed of many parts, some that support the movement of Yoga, others that are indifferent and do not want the yoga, still others that resist the aspiration for the yoga. The important thing is to never give up, keep faith through all the ups and downs, endure and surrender and continue to aspire,  Keep your inner humour alive and keep going.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Initially, I would give them forcefully and we would both end up in tears. 👶🏻🩸😥🙏🏻🌼[…]

First with regard to the value of an action. It is not the action itself but the intent that matters most. Whatever you did was an act of love, with utmost goodwill for your child. That is all that is needed. I am sure this love and goodwill and your prayers all have gone into her improvement and not just the medicines…
