AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is vital? Please explain in simple worlds or in the words of Mata ji and somewhere in Sri Aurobindo and the mothers writing please teel the meaning of thee thy and thou. Sometimes I feel that Mata ji is not listening to my prayer and the hostile thoughts get me even after praying from The Mother that make me out of that and this condition was I feel not good I feel so bad for myself and feel that if I was made for this yoga or not?⚡🏇🌊🌪️✨ [Conti]

And how to be not with everyone while being with everyone means how to do yog if I am in collage means the distraction are so many like I have only one friend and I only talk to him but that time I also feel like I am ignoring the mother not surrender everything to them the… The condition is so complex please guide me my path..Please tell about physic being also and how it works….Is all the problemes(like dstraction while meditation)come form the vital or reason of those distraction or those ignorance… 

Vital is the life energy in a human being. Ordinarily this energy makes one restless and by habit we associate this restlessness with wants and desires. Once we get the desire we feel temporarily satisfied but then the energy rises again and pushes us to satisfy the various wants. 

What one has to do is to channelise this vital energy in proper direction. There are healthy ways to divert it such as games, sports, hobbies, art, music, studying books of wisdom or knowledge, learning something new and interesting, physical exercises etc. There are unhealthy ways of using this energy. First learn to channelise it properly. Then later it can be used for turning towards the Divine and higher spiritual purposes through aspiration and in service of the Divine. 

Don’t think about yourself, fitness, hostile forces etc. Nobody is fit by oneself. It is by turning towards and opening to the Divine that one becomes fit. Right now focus on progress in different fields and go through life remembering the Mother with faith in Her. Rest will come in its own time. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]

Call The Mother, take Her Name and keep offering all your pain and dilemmas to Her. Surrender yourself to Her with faith and trust in Her.
