AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In the Agenda, what are the different Minds explained? I donโ€™t feel that my body is being controlled by my mind because most of the time, I donโ€™t even know what is happening internally. So is it a different Mind that is driven by Nature that is controlling the body? ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒผ

The body mechanisms and processes are controlled by the Mind of the cells, the cellular mind, which is part of the physical mind. We are normally not aware of this mind in us. Our awareness is limited to the surface events as reported by the senses. We can become aware of the organs only indirectly, when there is discomfort or pain. Otherwise, there are no sensory links between the internal organs and the conscious surface mind. Of course, there is a certain occult faculty in some people to see the internal organs, but it is not generally available.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I believed earlier that all of the manifested Universe is a part of the Apara Prakriti. But the Mother says that nature is infra-rational? But then I wonder whether reason is an instrument of Para Prakriti? Isnโ€™t it too imperfect? What is the joining link of Nature with the Mother? ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿค”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿชท
