AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Now that man strives for divine life on earth, once he gets a deathless luminous supramental body what will be his purpose of life on earth ๐ŸŒthen?

After arrival of a deathless luminous supramental body, the life on earth in a way will have no purpose as such but a constant unfolding of the manifold delight of the Divine within, a progressive manifestation of the Infinite Truth with full consciousness of the unfolding.

A painter or a writer has no purpose save to express the delight stirring within his inner being, yet he would want his creations to be flawless and perfect, the flow of expression to be faultless and pure, the work and forces flowing through him smooth and flawless. This indeed is the original intent anyways, to turn creation into a manifold delight of the One Infinite.

A resistance from the creation, which makes this process long and painful, serves a purpose itself, helping the mind stay focused and work in the needed direction, preparing our nature and its instruments for the perfect manifestation of the Truth that is one with Harmony and Delight.

That fulfilled there will be a ceaseless expression of the delight without hindrance and resistance as waves after waves harmoniously play upon the vast limitless sea. Putting this in a more poetic vein,    

The purpose for which man descended here

In dubious hours and stars of fate

That for which he wrestles and struggles

Forever within his breast

It is that he can fulfil when he grows divine

The secret aim now lost

To make this earth a Home for the Wonderful

And his mind a shining host

Heavenโ€™s rays now far away he shall reclaim

For earth. Reclaim the glory

For which he is made,

Manifest the Truth that hides

Within his covered heart

The darkness of the ages he shall shake

And grow even as the gods

And turn this marvellous piece of clay

Our earth into a heavenly homeโ€ฆ

Affectionately

Alok da

I genuinely love a guy (or at least I feel that way), but we are not in a relationship because we know that we are not perfect for each other. We live in different places, so we don’t meet. There were times when we had an argument and we stopped talking for months, but we ended up together. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฆ‹[…]

There is evidently a vital attraction which is very different from love. It usually wears off with time unless there is a strong deep affinity of goals, ideas and interests.

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity.
