AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, my housemaid has cooked food today. My Mother is in a period, so the home maid cooked the food. We tried to serve our father, but Father got angry and started scolding Mother. Because he doesn’t like eating food made from the Maid. 🍳👩🏼‍🍳😰🌷[…]

Every time there is some reason, my father scolds Mother. I don’t know what I should do. My mother suffers a lot because of this; every time there is a reason, she gets scolded. My mother is not in the path of yoga; it’s very difficult for her.

I pray to Divine Mother that, ‘Please give them Your Grace so that they know what the Reality is, what we are doing actually and what should be done.’

I request you, sir, what my mother and I should do on this. I humbly request you. How should my mother and I deal with this? What should our response be?

The Mother would want Her children to be courageous, straightforward and frank in their dealings with people. Perhaps someone needs to tell him that his actions and attitude are not right. He needs not fuss so much about food and who has cooked it, especially when your mother is not well. If he does not like the food cooked by the maid, then he can cook it himself. 

This is what the Mother has said about cooking. 

‘The idea that women should cook for males is against my principles. Are they slaves?’

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
