AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, inside me there is a strong desire for something. Within three days again those desires comes and I fulfill it that make me feel bad. Why I fulfilled this desire? This and that comes to the mind. But after fulfillment of desire, I think if it will come again, I will not fulfilled. Still it comes within 3 days I don’t want to fulfill still I fulfill it. Sir , what should be done? How to get rid of it which makes me do the things which I don’t want?💰💎🛍️🚗

Then I feel and offer to Sweet Mother, please make me above from this mistake. But after two days It happen again. This forces used to come after a month’s, now they are coming within few days.

So due to this I couldn’t concentrate on the things which are important. Why it comes now with in few days not after a month’s?

Desires are quite natural at your age, especially sexual desires. They are very tenacious and tend to return in a never ending cycle because there is something in us, especially in sexual desires something within the body and its obscure lower vital elements that responds to the slightest vibrations. These vibrations are all around, they circulate in the atmosphere of the earth and take advantage of a weak moment tend to seep in. Especially the desire for food and sex has deep roots in the biological substrate of the body and hence drop off with the dropping off of all animality. Suppression is almost always temporary as it keeps returning like a see-saw. 

What needs to be done is to apply the will to reject or postpone it when it arises turning the mind towards other things. But if one is unable to do so, one should not feel guilty or sad about it but quietly offer the act and the desire and its fulfilment to the Mother. If one can invoke Her Presence and offer it just as the trigger begins or remember Her in the heart while another part is pursuing the desire, then again it helps get rid of it faster. 

What you are trying instead is to satisfy it one last time hoping it will go away. This doesn’t work for sure. It only increases the recurence by force of habit followed after few months by the tendency for relative quiescence if the will was opposing it despite the body indulging. One has to then wait for another such opportune moment which may come after many months. 

One has to do lot of exercises, read uplifting words especially before sleeping and keep the mind away from thinking about it even with the idea of getting rid of it. Turn the thoughts away carefully avoiding all that triggers. In any case do not dwell much upon it. It will eventually leave. Meanwhile keep strengthening your aspiration keep turning more and more towards The Mother. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da,This might not exactly be a serious spiritual question with depth but forgive me for asking this . One consistent pattern from childhood is that one sees is that in all the images and depictions that one gets acquainted of rishis,yogis is that they really have massive long hair. Shraddhalu ji in today’s times also has that look. But there’s this fear/tension of hair loss among young men today, it’s quite a psychological blow on one’s confidence and what not. And one opposite pattern has been that so many men of the homeless type or labouring class , even with all the malnutrition and what not really also have good hair and I’ve seen men young lads thinking about this being a result of life of low stress and what not. Does yogic concentration/metabolism have any indirect ripple effect on having a healthy hair cos that’s how all these rishis are adorned, I know it might sound silly but am curious

Hairs and Nails represent the inconscient atavistic elements in humans. They have an evolutionary necessity in animals but in human beings they are simply an extension of the animal body type. That is why there is in it a very strong genetic hereditary element. There were a number of very close disciples of Sri Aurobindo namely ..

But doesn’t marriage keep people stable also – or would they drown themselves in alcohol and drugs, as in the West, due to loneliness? Free intimacy is also a hindrance, right? At least it fixes your emotional, physical, and financial needs. To explore higher areas of life… or wouldn’t everyone just live like animals? Osho’s ways were effective in giving an alternative to marriage? 🏡🌿

Marraige is like a double edged sword. If the partner is right it can help create stability. If the partner is not the right one it can lead to chronic unhappiness, conflicts and instability. This is especially true of our times when the real stabilising factor, the family, is broken.

In the First Rik of the Rig Veda, Sri Aurobindo describes the nature of the Supreme as Sat-Chit-Ananda across different states of being. While explaining Nirguna and Saguna Sat, he uses phrases like “they nivṛtta, He nivṛtta” and “they pravṛtta, He nivṛtta”, which I find difficult to grasp. ☀️🕉️[…]

The Lord is both pravritti and nivratti, as the Fire and the Sun are both pravritti and nivratti. As Light they simply stand back and illumine the field but as energy they impel all things into dynamic movement. So too, the Divine as knowledge illumines all things with His Intelligence even without entering into them. But as power, Shakti, He
