AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Should I listen to the inner voice of my heart and what its telling me? What’s coming to me in the meditations. No matter how illogical in terms of real external world it may seem. Fanciful…I dont know if I should go ahead and jump in this relationship?🧩💞🤝

Not follow traditional conventional ways of Society and advice of so called practical people. And just jump. Take the leap of faith.. 

The heart has wings no doubt but the flight must be controlled and directed by the will. In ordinary life it is the mental will, the discernening intelligence, buddhi, that must direct it. By discerning intelligence is meant to see clearly where an action is likely to lead us, – closer to the higher goal or farther away from it. Practical intelligence is a different matter. Its use is to calculate possible gain and loss from a personal and often limited point of view. 

We trigger each other to another level. Like both of us can’t handle any lower qualities of the other. It’s not by choice. And normally would sound chaotic. But in this case brings clarity. Pushes us to advance and work on ourselves higher. 

But in all of this there is huge emotional upheavals. I have been reading the Savitri too. I feel like my whole world will turn upside down.

And I don’t know what we want from each other. We are just not satisfied no matter what. It’s definitely beyond the body and mind. At times we don’t feel good enough. Don’t know. It’s just intense. Too intense. 

It seems to be an intensity of vital love. It thrills but often kills. Take it easy, go slow, be deliberate and conscious, see what you really want before you fling yourself head over heels. Spend some time in getting to know each other through communication, common actions and a general feel especially of being inwardly comfortable in each other’s presence. 

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
