AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel more emotionally and readily drawn and attached to Sri Krishna than I do with The Mother yet. I can feel that it is a smaller opening towards The Mother, and it is more mental and conceptual, it is inspired and sweet, but it is less spontaneous and more formal.🪈🦚🪷💙[…]

On the other hand, I feel something strongly and constantly towards Sri Krishna; it feels more personal. Why could this be?  Everything gets complicated by my mind and emotions, making constructions rather than just following my heart to do heartfelt and straightforward actions as offerings. 

It happens to many. Sri Krishna (and Sri Rama) are deeply embedded in our consciousness for milleniums. Most Hindus naturally turn towards them. The Lila of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is relatively very new. Besides, they have planted a completely new aspiration upon earth. It is only as the souls evolve and catch this new aspiration that they get spontaneously drawn towards Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Or else if they had a strong connection with Them in past lives and have been called for the Work. Generally, people turn to Sri Aurobindo first due to the present stage of evolution being centered around the mind. When the heart is open, or the soul is awake, it turns towards the Mother. 

Each must follow the natural movement of his being. Spirituality is not something that can or should be imposed by the mind. When the time comes, something in us recognises the Guide. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not insincerity but the natural protective motherly instinct reacting habitually to the deeply ingrained past experience. Pray for more faith, ask for Peace. Call The Mother inwardly every time the sense of panic comes. Keep a small picture of the Mother or a blessing packet with you and your child as a material support. Keep your …

Since my youth, I have held an innate conviction that true, soul-nurturing love is real—a bond rooted in a higher purpose that brings strength, courage, and spiritual freedom rather than chains or insecurity. 💗🌱[…]

Human beings are not equipped to love perfectly. If you still want to try and learn through hard experience then so be it. In any case love is something that happens if it has to happen. But remember love and demand do not go together. Either one can get the joy of loving by loving someone truly. Or else one can suffer in the hope and expectation of being loved and finding the perfect partner and match.
