AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?

Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind.  In any case since all the gods are Her powers and aspects, it is She who grants the prayer and acts from behind even when we pray to the gods. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Are Self-respect and Ego the same? 🪞🙏🏻

Self respect is one of the forms of the ego. It could be a sattwic or a rajo-sattwic ego but an ego reaction nonetheless. The soul never feels insulted or has any need to defend its respect. One who lives for the Divine is not affected by human opinions. The only thing that matters is closeness to the Divine. The insults and opinions …
