AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please explain the importance of ‘Ek Nishtha’ or Sincerity🙂?

Ek nishtha or sincerity is like the lamp that shows us things exactly as they are without colouring or covering them with justifications. This is the first step. It is called mental honesty.

Once we see things as they are and recognise them for their true worth we have to act upon the indication given and the thing that is shown. Each time we act according to what we have seen to be true we grow in sincerity.

Next we have to develop it in every part, every action and also keep sharpening and widening the truth we can see in the light of sincerity.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dear Alok da, I would like to know more about Dutta, who was Mother’s companion from Britain. Are there any books that write about her? Or can you tell me something about her? What did she represent? 💫❤️‍🔥

She is indeed the one who was the first one to exclaim on the Siddhi day ‘The Lord has conquered death’ which…

At that point she is not regarded as a consort of Brahma but as the goddess of Vak, the Word of creation. There is no Brahma but Brahmanaspati, or Brahaspati in the Vedic Age. Later Puranic legend shows Saraswati brought out from Brahma but it is she …

Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? 🌌⚔️✨🙏[…]

The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings. 

Creation began with the first four emanations (Sat-Chit-Tapas-Ananda). These are the four original aspects of the Divine. Each being an aspect of the Divine acted in complete freedom sharing the absoluteness of the Divine. But this very sense of absolute freedom led to their being ‘apparently separated’ from the Divine Origin. There could never be any real separation. But each perceived the sense of absolute power as if independent of the Origin…
