AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother has told that the purpose of life is to serve the divine. I currently work at corporate. Even if I do the work I’m meant to do here/results as offering to Mother, I am unable to reconcile this as my service to Mother/Divine. What is the best way for someone who is not directly in ashram to serve the divine ? Is contributing to any project associated with Auroville/Aurosociety be considered a better service to The Mother?🧭🎯🏹🌟

Serving the Divine means three things. First is doing whatever one is doing as a service to the Mother. It means turning work into a worship and a prayer by joining one’s aspiration for perfection in the work, by remembering the Mother and inwardly offering the work to Her, by doing the work not for any inner reward but as a means to prepare and open the instrumental nature to the working of Her Force. All this applies not only to the professional work but to everything that one is doing including bathing, walking, eating and any other activity. 

The other or second aspect of the Mother’s Work is to join, participate and collaborate in any work directly linked to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, either by giving time and energy or money for it.

Finally and most importantly the Mother’s Service is best done by consciously engaging in the Integral Yoga for the transformation of one’s nature. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure.

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. πŸ₯‚πŸ’¬πŸΈπŸŽΆ[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. πŸͺ·βœ¨πŸ’–πŸ•―️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural.Β 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
