AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The disciples judge the forms by the Master, others judge the Master by the forms. What does it mean is the question you have asked?πŸ’‘πŸ§˜πŸ“œπŸ–‹οΈ

It means that those who do not have enough faith in the Master they try to judge him by his outer ways and actions, the forms of outer behavior. But those endowed with faith, the disciples so to say, try to understand the outer forms by looking at it from the Master’s point of view. 

Thus, for example, if the Master has an illness, the outsider will judge him as not being powerful enough to cure the illness. But the disciple will know that if the Master is ill it is not because he is weak but because he has chosen to take upon himself the burden of illness to clear the karma of the disciples. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo laughed at the stupidity of religous conversions. They saw Religion as a spent force which is destined to be overpassed by the growing spiritual impulse in man. The upsurge of conversions, whatever its temporary success is destined to fail. The evolving human soul cannot be satisfied for long in any …
