AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

But this is so confusing, only earth has psychic development and being, but psychic world is elsewhere…what is that world, why is it, what one does there? And then why on earth we have this psychic being. ..this all sounds sometimes like a fantasy✨💎🌈🦋

Elsewhere is another plane or dimension of consciousness.

It doesn’t mean Mars or Venus or Pluto.

The psychic world is made up of the psychic substance which is not the same as material substance. It has different properties for example luminosity, plasticity that we don’t see in matter as such.

It would be a fantasy if there were no other worlds than the physical material. If this is true then the question would be how did the material world itself come into existence? Those who hold this belief miss the links between the spiritual and the material and end up postulating that either there is only the material world and material energies or else there is the material world as well as God but there is no connection between the two. The existence of subtle worlds including the psychic world is a logical necessity if the psychic is indestructible and if it is connected to the Divine on one side and to the physical body on the other.

After death, the psychic detaches itself from the physical world and, by natural affinity goes to the psychic world and vice versa during birth.

As to the psychic being found only upon earth well even water and oxygen, and carbon that sustains life is also found only upon earth. Not everything is found everywhere.

The psychic being is the evolutionary soul in man. It is unique to earth like a controlled experiment being done in a laboratory.

Affectionately,

Dear Alok Ji, can you please tell me how I can get rid of my anger at Sri Aurobindo and also how to regain trust in him? 🙏🏻💗

Trust is a very precious, priceless gift. Even among human beings it is special. But when it is towards the Divine then it should be doubly carefully guarded.  

Again anger is an extremely harmful emotion towards anyone. It hurts and harms both, the one who harbours it and the one towards whom it is directed. But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
