AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What do u feel on tarot and all these prediction based things.. is there any truth and reality in them. I had consulted a few and mostly I see their answers are negative when it comes to other people and relationships.. sometimes it helped as it was self assertive when it was only about me..What are your thoughts on it?ย ๐ŸŽด๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ‘

These predictions whether through astrology or tarrot only indicate possibilities. They dip into the person’s subconscious mind or else try to read the notation of cosmic forces and predict the future on that basis. But neither of these are fixed. Things are always moving, including the play of forces. Of course they are moving in a direction and towards a prefigured event but to deduce the actual event from this movement of stars or the subliminal mind to an accurate degree is not possible. These are tendencies and may come true. But they may change, the forces may get deflected or deflated in their intensity because of the single most important factor which is human conscious will and the incalculable workings of the Divine Grace. Therefore trying to know the future is often not a very wise thing as it often fixes it in the mind. Instead one should be in a state of faith and aspiration and a growing sincerity and surrender to the Divine Grace. If one can be in this inner state then regardless of the possibilities the very best will happen and, even if some certain events did precipitate their impact will be minimal and it will lead to a rapid evolutionary growth. The Divine Grace is the only supreme Wisdom and Power on which one should lean and open to with faith and aspiration. All the rest belongs to the field of changing flux and flow of life.

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? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’—

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.ย ย 

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. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

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.ย

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 ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

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, andย theย unionย has a threefold character. There is aย unionย in spiritual essence,ย byย identity; there is aย unionย byย the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
