AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In your video, “The coming of the new world.” You have raised a very valid question, How would we know what work, The Mother wants us to do? So suddenly a question came in my mind that the work of seva I am thinking of doing, does it have The Mother’s approval🤨? Please help understand this.

Well, if you keep on contemplating like this, then the whole life will pass by. The most important thing is attitude. So what ever we thing we need to do in the future, one must do it with attitude of nishkama, equanimity and surrender. If we start with this attitude, The Mother herself will open the door and show us the path by intuition.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri Krishna himself advocates. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak mainly of Aspiration, opening to the Divine, inner remembrance and offering leading to surrender. In fact these methods give quicker …

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, “ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.” Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. 🌑☀️🔥🙏🏻

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility. But to bring it out we are provided within us the challenge, the opposition to the possibility that we must conquer. Take for instance someone meant to realise true love will find in his life surrounded by some of the ..
