AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please share Basics of developing self-understanding🤔.

To develop self understanding with regard to the subject of study.

  1. First read through with a quiet concentrated mind.
  2. Read it again now with pauses to understand each passage paying attention to details.
  3. Find the links between passages to get a more comprehensive understanding.
  4. Read from different sources to understand from different angles.
  5. Form a gist of the essence in the mind.

The key is concentration and going deeper into the subject.

To understand oneself or if the subject is oneself, take at careful and sincere look at oneself, the motives of our action, the strengths and weaknesses, the pattern of thoughts and feelings and the why of one’s action.

The key is on discovering the motives of our actions.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]

Call The Mother, take Her Name and keep offering all your pain and dilemmas to Her. Surrender yourself to Her with faith and trust in Her. 

Yes you should speak to your ex-husband unless and until he takes a clear decision regarding bringing up the child jointly together….
