AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I  have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?🪈🐎☸️📜

Coming to Purusha, it is said purusha is the consciousness, how is that relevant, because they be both male and female both have the power of consciousness.

There are many other characteristics of purusha prakriti and their relationship also described, but I am not able to have a integral understanding on this subject, please guide me in my process of knowledge so my yoga is progressed with better clarity.

Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the basic truth that will apply at every level. It is One Consciousness that can take two poises, static and dynamic, passive and active

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sir, I am a devotee of Mother and Sri Aurobindo from my age of 12 and student of SRI AUROBINDO SCHOOL also. My age is 44. I go to the study circle and live my life happily. Now, in my village, a Sudarshan Kriya of Art of Living camp is being organised by some volunteers. May I join it for any health benefits?

One can always learn a new technique of breathing and other exercises if you feel it will help you. Besides the rule of one Master, surrendering everything to Him is not something to be done as a mental or mechanical rule. Its truth lies in the heart’s complete reliance and dependence on the Divine Mother for everything. If one can do ..
