AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

Asked by a 33 year old

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I have a question: is it bad if one of my goals is to earn money? I want to do so because I don’t have to rely on anybody else, and I can do things I would want to do and do my Bhakti and Yoga, and no one could stop me just because I don’t have enough money to take care of myself and my family.

It is simply a means to buy certain outer comforts. It can also be used to make the outer life more beautiful and even to help the Divine Work. The lowest …

I was in the middle of a dream where I heard a voice saying, “Wrap the blanket properly up to the soles of your feet.” Hearing that voice, I suddenly woke up. Right in front of my bed, a photo of Mata ji was placed. As soon as I woke up, I felt as if a crying sound was coming from the photo and the entire photo was shaking. Why did this happen? 🖼️😶‍🌫️🌸🦋[…]

These images generally arise from the subconscient. There might be some forces at play trying to create mischief. It is difficult to say where these forces came from or what opened the doors. The Mother certainly does not cry. The seeing of tears and the sound …

First I had a type of belief system like nothing wrong can happen to me because Maa is with me, now it’s like anything can happen to me, but I believe Maa is with me and about fear I have fear like fear for maintaining position in class, fear like what others will think about me in each steps, fear like fear to indulge in a conflict or the recent issues, fear like what if I died living an ordinary life. ☺️🌼🚶🏼‍♂️🦋[…]

I don’t know why you switched from nothing can happen to everything can happen. Surely the Divine Grace protects else this world would have been destroyed 10 times over by human beings. Of course the Divine Grace does not boast about how much and how many times it has saved and helped every creature regardless of …
