AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have recently started my residency in MS opthalmology. My schedule runs from 7am to 11pm with two 36 hours shifts each week. Throughout the day I am constantly surrounded by seniors and immersed in work and we are not allowed to leave the wards during working hours. I get no time for meditation or reading books of Maa and Sri Aurobindo or even some time to sit in silence. How to do this Sadhana through work when hospital feels like a jail and certain seniors like jailors?πŸ§˜πŸ•―οΈπŸ“ΏπŸ“–

I keep Mother’s blessing packet in my Apron but I am not able to connect with Maa and Sri Aurobindo the way I used to while at home.

How to turn inward in this condition?? How to only be conscious of Mother’s presence and nothing else ??

I completely understand having gone through it in my own way. What you should do is to first change the motive of your studies. Take this attitude that you are getting trained in the field of Opthalmology to be a good instrument of the Divine and serve Him through the science and art of healing the eye.

Try to go deeper into the subject in terms of appreciating the way the Divine Mother has worked in forming the eye. In fact the evolution of the eye as an organ is a very fascinating subject which takes us to the doorsteps of the Divine Wisdom working in creation. 

Inwardly practice the joy of Remembering and offering all to the Divine, every outer and inner experience including the difficulties. 

Practice equanimity towards the various challenges so that you grow inwardly strong to do Her Work.

Read one little passage a day anytime you can. Best would be a prayer from the Prayers and Meditations as well as few lines from Savitri. 

Take the Mother’s Name inwardly as often as you can.

If Divine Mother can help us and give us thrice the dose required, then why is there so much suffering on earth? What does She do when hundreds and thousands of children die from hunger and poverty every year?

One can fully understand the space from which this question comes. When we look at this world in all its grim and sordid aspects (and there are plenty if we go down the lanes of history), then it is natural to blame it all on the Creator, to pass a summary judgment convicting the Divine without even trying to understand the reasons why the world is as it is. …
