AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I remember reading somewhere that the Sun is like a black dot against the Supramental Light, please could you remind me where I read that😌

Dear Alok da, someone had asked in askalokda about the passage on Sun vs Supramental Light. Saw this passage, wanted to share if at all you might use it.

‘..Some people get a pain in the eyes when they look at the sun and are obliged to put on dark glasses because sunlight is too strong for them. But this is merely sunlight. When you are able to look at the supramental light, it appears to you so brilliant that sunlight seems like a black stain in comparison. One must have strong eyes and a solid brain to bear that, one must be well prepared, established in something extremely calm and vast—it is as though one had such a strong basis of tranquillity that when the storm passes, when the light comes with a great intensity, one is able to remain immobile and receive what one can without being knocked over.’

It is not in Savitri but elsewhere that something like this is mentioned. I don’t remember exactly now, possibly in the Evening Talks.

Affectionately,
