AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I keep posting quotes and words of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother on WhatsApp and other social media platforms because I can’t keep the bliss I get after reading Them. The world needs to know the ecstatic nectar of their words. Last year I attended various camps conducted by Sri Aurobindo Society and Auroville. They just ridicule that I’ve joined “Ashram” and I’m asked to not run away from the house possibly wearing a white saree and shun all my responsibilities here. My neighbour is 60 year old, he scolds me to turning my head to Ashram because according to him I should be doing all this at 60,🌟🪷🧘‍♀️☀️

after ‘enjoying’ life, what he means is after thorough indulge and be done with the sansar and then turn to satsang. I used to be a bit bothered initially now I don’t feel anything for comments like this as everybody’s in their own learning pace and I can’t impose. My question to you is people ask me about who is Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, what are they and why do I post them so much? My mind immediately finds a logical and strong yet easy answer to tell them so that I encapsulate everything about Them in that one sentence. So please help me out. 

I would simply smile at their folly. If they insist, I would point out the story of Nachiketa in the Katha Upanishad. If they are too dumb to understand that I would say, to each his own enjoyment and his way. But one thing is certain that there is nothing like a post-retirement spirituality plan (PSP for short). It is like seeking a postmortem salvation in the afterlife.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dreams come from different sources. The subconscient dreams are quite chaotic. Interpreting them requires intuition and experience.

It is always good if one can remember the dreams even if one cannot Interpret them…

I have a question that makes me feel that people compare and based on their comparison, they decide and come to their preferences; they favour them. And when I see this play of ego, of pleasing the other person, and when one understands that one’s higher-up favours him/her, one feels good about that closeness. 💔😔🦋🌾[…]

It is wonderful that you are able to see the falsehood behind this kind of vital love of praise which is indeed a kind of falsehood. Yes it is everywhere and it takes a great degree of sincerity to be able to detect it. But now that by the effect of the Grace you are able to discern it, you must try to live only to please the Divine and that means …
