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..🌌🧘‍♂️🌊🕯️

..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

To deepen my sadhana, could you please clarify what it truly means to “turn toward the Divine within,” and how that differs from mere prayer? Does this inner turning aim to remove life’s hardships and fulfill desires, or does it serve a higher transformative purpose? 🕉️💗🔥🙏🏻[…]

Turning towards God means seeking God not for what you want from Him but because of wanting Him for His own sake, because He is so lovable. But prayers are generally because one wants something from Him rather than God Himself. 

Turning towards God not only takes away our difficulties but removes our desires that are the source of so much unhappiness…

That is very interesting to know. I had heard about some people feeling sleepy while reading Savitri but I didn’t know that it could happen with photos also. Looking at Mother’s photos does make me feel more lively. Praying to Her before work and seeing Her photo, has helped me to be more lively and energetic during work.  🌸📷✨🙏🏻

It is also a sign that you are open and receptive. Those who are completely closed may simply get a headache. Different people respond differently to the One Divine.
