AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, even after suffering if desires are still there and it’s tormenting and scaring about old age/loneliness etc. but as the sufferings have taught a lesson & have paid a huge price by losing what was given/gifted before; is it ideal to pray to the Divine mother to take away the desires? 🛍️💰🍎🔥

Sir, even after suffering if desires are still there and it’s tormenting and scaring about old age/loneliness etc. but as the sufferings have taught a lesson & have paid a huge price by losing what was given/gifted before; is it ideal to pray to the Divine mother to take away the desires? (as am not able to identify which human being is divine sent and which human is a disguise and anymore don’t want to disobey the Mother at any cost). Kindly advise .

All creation and every human being is a mask. In whatever form and way we have spontaneous faith, that form can become a means to open the Divine doors within us. But since most human beings are mixed, desires tend to creep in and create disturbances. Therefore the wise have always adviced to keep a bit of safe distance, not because people are bad or cannot be trusted but because too much closeness either makes us see certain real or unreal defects but also raises expectations often of an unrealistic nature. While it is not easy to eliminate desires, one can always exercise a certain Sattwic self-control and the law of moderation and balance which helps one prepare for their final exit. 

Most importantly keep your faith intact as a priceless treasure. The Mother is all-gracious and all-loving, in fact She is the very Source and origin of Love. Have no fear and turn to Her more and more. It is indeed the one supreme safety in life.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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? 🙏🏻💗

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.  

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. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

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.

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 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

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, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
