AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

You mentioned in one of your speeches that people typically seek a spiritual path when they are dissatisfied with the world or realise its limitations. The first strategy is a little pessimistic because Mother mentions that if the same world begins to meet your wants, you might become enamoured or attracted once more. However, what if we are just in the initial stage, such as being unhappy with the world? Does it still serve as a launching pad for our spiritual development🤨?

Yes certainly whatever makes one turn towards and seek the Divine, even if it be for material goods or well-being is fine. But for this to last turn this vairagya of recoil from world pain due to disappointments, into a sattwic vairagya that shows us how ephemeral, temporary and transient earthly happiness is. It will sustain the journey and one day turn from a negative to a positive turning towards the Divine. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

he poojas, havans, mantras and rituals are the most outwards and not indispensable means. The real means are inner which includes a one-pointed Godward aspiration that frees the inner consciousness tied to the body and then opens doors to several possibilities such as entering into the cosmic consciousness, …
