AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What steps can I take daily to increase my love for Krishna? I do 2 japa a day and some bhajan and read books of Sri Aurobindo and Maa. Apart from that my whole day is a day of indulgences which take me towards darkness. I can never keep habits for long. Do I don’t want to change bad enough that I’m not changing. Regret and lament🫣 is all that I do after hasty decisions

First thing is to cut out regret and lament. That only saps energy and makes us feel increasingly underconfident and eventually give up effort.  

Next is to make Krishna a friend and treat him like a living being. How do you relate with a friend? You share everything with him. When you go out you take him along.  In case you go somewhere you let him know and stay connected.  Offer all your activities and actions to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo wherever you may be going and whatever you may be doing. As for Krishna take him along wherever you go as a bosom friend.  Write a daily diary to the Mother and remember Her first thing in the morning and last thing at night and as often as you can.

You will slowly see the difference. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

 Obedience never means obeying the elders even if they are foolish and arrogant at Ravana as well as Duryodhana. Or to take a more recent example the Nazis who were…

Dear Sir, in your talk, you have said that in the early days, when you first read the mahavakya that “All life is Yoga,” and something positive happened, similarly, when I first read that “Man is a Transitional Being”, it was a Bingo, an Epiphany. Of course, my experience was according to my level of evolution. ❤️‍🔥😊🙏🏻🌼📜[…]

Sri Aurobindo writes in Savitri. ‘A casual passing phrase can change our life.’ The phrase coming from a great inner height worked like a mantra to open an inner door. It awakened your soul
