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

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…

For quite some time now, whether I am awake, moving about, or simply sitting, I have been seeing visions—such as symbols of animals or the sun. I neither consciously think of them nor deliberately visualize them; they appear on their own, sometimes clearly and at other times faintly. 🔥🕊️☀️[…]

These seem to be true visions possibly due to an inborn faculty in you which has continued from previous life.

Fire in the heart is the image of the Divine Presence holding the psychic being within it. Dog is faithfulness (towards the Divine).
