AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is the difference between God and the Mother😇? Are incarnations and God different? Isn’t the Ishtadev itself God? How is spiritual evolution possible when the ego is deeply hurt and its impact on health?

I am attaching this letter to an AIM issue on the twelve qualities mentioned in the symbol of Sri Ma.
God is the name of the ultimate mystery from which creation emerged, which is present in every particle of creation and beyond. The power of God, which is omniscient and omnipotent, and through whose grace the creation is born, is called Mother. Like God, Mother has many forms and incarnations. The incarnation that embodies and manifests this all-conscious power of God in human form is known as Shri Ma of the Pondicherry Ashram.
When God takes birth on earth as an earthly creature or human being for a specific purpose, they are called an incarnation. Their mere incarnation opens up new possibilities for the evolution of embodied beings.
Ishta is worshipped as God, but in reality, Ishta represents some aspect of God.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I often experience intense physical purges—such as severe nausea and abdominal heat—after encountering certain people or environments, leading me to wonder if Sri Maa spoke about absorbing others’ karmic energies and how to safely regain vitality. 🛡️🌸[…]

Not sure what you mean by lower energies of people getting absorbed. The human system is not an entirely closed container. The body and mind of each person is constantly engaged in an energy interchange all the time. And since most human beings live in the vital, the transaction also takes place mostly at the vital level. Most …
