AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In Savitri, Aswapati had to travel many subtle worlds before reaching at the summit. I just want to know whether the person doing the sadhana must have to undertake the same journey during life time as well as after the physical body is discarded. Will the psychic being have to undergo the same route after death, even if a part is already covered during life time or skip those already covered?๐ŸŒ…โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

The journey of Aswapati is a very special journey taken consciously by him as the pathfinder and the pathmaker for the New Creation. It is a very detailed account. While the journey of the human soul does follow on a track with certain main aspects described there, the actual journey of the soul after death is described in Book 9 and 10 when Satyavan is taken away and travels through the Astral worlds, at first plunges into darkness followed by the hell and heavens of the vital worlds and the different layers of the mental worlds.  Then it rests for a while in the bosom of the Divine which is best described in Book Two Canto 14, The World Soul. This part doesn’t come in Book Ten because instead of going to rest before rebirth, the soul of Satyavan is pulled towards the Earth as described in Book Ten Canto Four, the dream twilight of the earthly real before it is released. 

In essence the journey of the soul after death is through the subtle physical, skirting through  the vital hells and heavens, hastening through the mental worlds if these elements were developed enough. Finally it enters a reconstituting psychic sleep in the psychic world in the lap of the Divine as described in The World Soul where it waits to return and go further. This is the journey in brief. If you have some more specific question about it I will be happy to answer. Some of these are already covered in my talk on auromaa. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Hello Dada.. I am in lot of emotional distress and just nothing feels right. I donโ€™t know how to put it in word at some point I feel terrible about myself and at the same time not able to hold it anymore. Things have paradoxically changed. To be honest I have a complete different perception now which is difficult to explain to anyone also sometimes I feel is it a lot of my Ego speaking and thats why the conflicts?๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿชž

It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on your goal and not try to change people, however significant or close they may be in your life. To try changing others or to expect them to….

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฎ

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …

I have been living away from home for almost 9 years for my studies, and currently study in a foreign country. I usually donโ€™t get much lonely and even if I, I get comfortable on remembering the Mother. But for sometime, I am getting too emotional on festivals such as today, which usually results in a fever and impacts my work. How should I deal with it?๐Ÿก๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿงธโ˜•
