AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada, Thank you for giving your knowledge so generously, after being around Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s wisdom I feel guilty to ask and though I try to filter a lot of questions before asking but this one has been bothering for more than 2 years now. Dada I feel a sense of intense restlessness, while externally all seems fine, I don’t know when was the last time I really laughed. Its like I am definitely not doing what I am supposed to do while working, eating all times. Dada, I am nervous and restless but I dont know why am I feeling this way before I even get to the solution part. I cannot question my job and people around when its inside, how do I get rid of it. Dada I am so clueless that I even started started digging details of my birth chart, which I never really believed in. Please help/ dial your hotline to mother as to whats wrong with me 🔍🌀👣

There is no need to hesitate in asking questions. I only share a little of what the Divine Mother gives limitlessly. As I see it, your problem stems from hypersensitivity of the nervous system. It is a stage in human evolution and goes away as we progress further towards an impersonality. Certain exercises through guided Imagery on Wideness, for example imagining yourself floating on a vast ocean and growing vast yourself or else imagining yourself becoming wide and deep as the sky will help. Another simple method is to do some fish gazing in a little aquarium. It will also help if you put flowers around. 

One simple remedy that I would suggest right away is to stay busy. Do a good physical workout everyday and simple Nadi Shuddhi pranayam or Anulom Vilom 6 to 8 times twice a day. Asanas for 20 to 30 minutes also help. 

Practice calling Peace and deep rhythmic  breathing as and when the restlessness comes. Try these and let me know. 

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
