AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir this Chaturvarna secured us an order, but got distorted incourse of time. But now all freedom is also distorted, then what should be the foundation of order??

Anything that is imposed from outside without a commensurate inner change tends to degenerate sooner or later. It is what happened to the fourfold order and it is what we see happening to the idea of freedom. True liberty comes by a mastery over nature. Without this mastery we are pushed by nature in a thousand ways. Even the choices we make are driven by forces of all kinds that enter through doors of unconsciousness, often in a garb of high virtues. Thus liberty is distorted to mean licentiousness.

The true solution can only come through a permanent change of consciousness so that we spontaneously live by the Divine Truth within. Momentary glimpses of higher states of consciousness are not enough. The change should be radical and permanent that would make it impossible for man to deviate or distort the spontaneous manifestation of the Truth in us.

Affectionately

The three modes of nature are never aligned. If and when aligned, the Asuras die and the Self is liberated. To do that …

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo laughed at the stupidity of religous conversions. They saw Religion as a spent force which is destined to be overpassed by the growing spiritual impulse in man. The upsurge of conversions, whatever its temporary success is destined to fail. The evolving human soul cannot be satisfied for long in any …
