AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, for so long that old memory has not surfaced but when I remove that old memory, it comes to the fore and starts disturbing me. Why is this so? Does this happen randomly? Does anything come out of the subconscious mind at any time or is there any reason behind it๐Ÿค”?

Nothing happens randomly. Only we do not know the  process and hence call it random. What happens is that everything we perceive and experience is picked up by the subconscient and stored there in a pell-mell manner. They are like old dusty files of unresolved issues which come up and seek our attention. What is needed is to look at them for what they are worth but with the new understanding and vision. Once seen offer it all to Her with a will for purification and resolution.

Affectionately

Alok da

I believed earlier that all of the manifested Universe is a part of the Apara Prakriti. But the Mother says that nature is infra-rational? But then I wonder whether reason is an instrument of Para Prakriti? Isnโ€™t it too imperfect? What is the joining link of Nature with the Mother? ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿค”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿชท
