AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am trying to be aware while falling asleep while chanting God’s name, is this good approach? Can we use sleep as a tool to realize individual soul. It is said that we often come in contact with individual soul when we go to sleep. So If one really wants to realize its own nature as individual soul very fast. What should one do? Is it possible to realize one self..πŸŒŒπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈπŸŒŠπŸ•―οΈ

..as individual soul very quickly if one go through sincere spiritual sadhana. I mostly do naam jap as sadhana.

Spiritual disciplines advice us to be steady but not impatient. The vital tries to realise things with great impatience and hence it either stumbles or else fabricates experiences. The swiftest way is self-giving, giving oneself to the Divine Mother completely and unreservedly. Still it takes time because rest of our nature is not ready.

Trying to find the psychic being in sleep is not the right way. It is like trying to find the diamond not where it is naturally found but where it might be hidden. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have written about finding the psychic being at great length and you will also find number of talks on this subject on auromaa. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…

This is because the vital is unsteady. Practice equanimity, apply reason to control the vital from jumping from one thing to another, above all, call Peace and Calm to fix this not so uncommon difficulty.
