AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Its a philosophical question but I often why did the creator create this world? Why did the creator become inconscient, became nature and now following the path of evolving towards itself? Is it for release of Ananda? As a life experience, we feel joyous when we progress. Similarly when the inconscient is growing towards becoming fully conscious, Ananda is released. Is that so?

Asked by 38 year old woman

These are different ways of saying the same thing.  By entering a state of complete oblivion and then releasing it gradually through a complex evolutionary process, step by step, means the emergence of extreme diversity thereby giving birth to different varieties of Ananda. So the Ananda of Oneness becomes a manifold Ananda. Apart from this the joy of taking the extreme challenge, attaining victory against near impossible conditions, the joy of walking on the edges of creation,  the Joy of fighting against every odd, the Joy of rising after every fall and returning after every failure, the Joy of daring the daring the impossible,  the Joy of a wounded narrow escape, the Joy of heeding to the Divine Call amidst the thousand voices and noises of the world,  the Joy of sacrifice and renouncing all for walking alone in pursuit of the Alone, the Joy of aspiration and the joy of union, all these and many more forms of creative Ananda are the gains of this lapse into the Inconscience through which the One Infinite multiplies endlessly in a rapture’s endless sum or to put it in the words of Savitri,  ‘the joy of a myriad myriads who are one.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da, At the very beggining of savitri Sri Aurobindo depicts this state of being where the self longed to reach it’s end in the vacant nought cos it fears to face the tardy process of life and mortality. Is this any similar to what western psychology calls the death drive, since life always has a certain state of friction and tension that there is a tendency within men to reach a tensionless state of inorganic matter? Is this also the cause of mass movements where one can dissolve their stress and effort of having an individuality? Many amusements men devise for themselves be it drinking,sex, entertainment seems to me connected to this phenomenon,how often people say that they go to movies cos they wanna be relieved of the “stress” of life. Is procrastination also related to this cos facing the thing that which needs to be done also triggers stress and tension so we just postpone the task indefinitely?

Death wish or thanatos is simply the urge to escape from the effort due to the extreme action of tamas. It creates great resistance to change, to express, to manifest. 

The other things you speak of are the action of unbridled rajas due to the life energy that is let loose and is unregulated. Mass movements are invariably due to the vital contagion that has a great sway over the mass…

I didn’t know that this had started in 2018. Strangely enough, from 2020 till last year, I was progressing well. Now, I am trying to stay positive and hold on to The Mother. However, what should we do when we are not aware of the psychic being? How can we act correctly? Is there a chance of realising the Psychic Being during the Hour of God? 😊🙏🏻🪷✨

The chances of realising the Divine are much higher during the Hour of God. It magnifies everything. One small mistake and the consequences can be disastrous. Equally, a little effort and one progresses by a leap. The Mother guides us: ‘Finally, I am fully convinced…

My deception, which I did for a good purpose (for saving integrity within the family), is revealed and I am bashed out like anything. I don’t complain here, but I realised whatever the purpose may be, a deception is a deception. The Mother helped me learn a great lesson here. Can you please explain? 😥👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🌹🦋

It is difficult to say anything as i do not know what exactly happened. Also it depends upon what you mean by conscious deception as well as the intent behind it. There is also deception done in good faith. The worst yet the …
