AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Regarding Four aspects of Intuition; idea,  Discrimination, Inspiration and Revelation, how can we link it to …higher mind, Illumined mind, intuitive mind and overmind? Pls guide us. 🧠✨👁️⚡       

Trying to link to link with these higher layers of the mind requires inner quietude and peace. As the mind grows silent these higher faculties begin to appear. 

What is needed along with that is aspiration, not an aspiration to achieve the higher mind etc since then it would be more like an ambition and desire. The aspiration should be for the Divine for the sake of the Divine, and not with ulterior egoistic motives of becoming a Yogi etc. It is the Divine who can grant these gifts to us if He feels we are ready for it. Since these capacities may disturb the normal working of nature if the consciousness is unripe and nor ready. Just as the ministers automatically come when the king arrives so too as we grow closer to the Divine these faculties automatically develop. No special process is then needed. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state of Silence or Nirvana and then merging or losing all one’s individual truth that the….

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic.
