AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have been wanting to talk to you for a long time. But I don’t know where to start. My daughter has come to you, to the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. I could not come with her. I wanted to come this week but did not get leave from my job. But I will come soon to meet you. To the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. To visit their holy Samadhi. But till then, the many questions in my mind do not let me sit quietly. There is a strange kind of restlessness in my mind ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ[conti]

I don’t understand whether that restlessness is there or something else. From childhood till today, there are so many questions whose answers have never been found to satisfy. Now my mind is not able to remain peaceful. What is my life? The purpose of life? Have I done everything right? What about what I did not do right? I want to do something meaningful in life. What is right for me? When will God show me the right path? โ€ฆ Sometimes it seems that everything is going right. I should not worry. I do not understand what to do. I will come to seek your blessings in person. Pranam

I understand your feelings. It has not been an easy life but which life is easy after all? Each one has to face their challenges as part of our evolutionary journey. Right or wrong is a very relative thing and depends upon the perspective one takes. Besides as long as one lives in ignorance, as long as one is unable to see the whole truth of things, one cannot pass any judgment on oneself or anyone. The wisest thing therefore is to keep growing towards Light and Truth in whatever way we can conceive and in whatever way we can put our efforts. The intent matters most. 

Have faith in the Divine Grace that overrides and overrules our ignorance and knows what is the best way to turn our difficulties into opportunities for progress. Remember the Divine in your heart and offer all you do to Her. The Light will come and the way forward will become clear.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sir, I am a devotee of Mother and Sri Aurobindo from my age of 12 and student of SRI AUROBINDO SCHOOL also. My age is 44. I go to the study circle and live my life happily. Now, in my village, a Sudarshan Kriya of Art of Living camp is being organised by some volunteers. May I join it for any health benefits? Then I think it is another guru and Sri Aurobindo said to rely on one guru. What can I do, sir? ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

One can always learn a new technique of breathing and other exercises if you feel it will help you. Besides the rule of one Master, surrendering everything to Him is not something to be done as a mental or mechanical rule. Its truth lies in the heart’s complete reliance and dependence on the Divine Mother for everything. If one can do ..
