AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I have a difficulty in understanding the modifications of Panchmahabhoots. I could understand vibration in Akashtattva led to Agnitattva. The next modification from Agnitattva – containing only heat to element containing totally opposite in quality i.e. Jalatattva is difficult to understand. In between are there any stages of converting/producing totally different element with an intention to produce a rigid tattva i.e. Prithvi tattva 🌍?

Akash tattva is an endless expansion created by the waves or vibrations emanating from Nada. But this endless expansion can create Space but not forms and objects. So the waves or vibrations modify themselves so as to create not uniformly spreading waves but criss crossing patterns. This is the Vayu or aerial tattva. It creates directions but not yet forms. This mutual interaction of waves and vibrations becomes intense releasing tremendous energy and thus gets modified into Agni tattva or fire which is energy giving rise to heat and light.  Here we have first forms that are not stable enough.  By cooling down this intense energy due to concentrated vibrations changes into jala tattva or flowing elements or water. This further condenses by the vibrations getting coalesced and crystallized to give birth to Prithvi tattva or earth which then becomes the basis for first stable forms. In the forms thus created all the other elements are there. Thus prthvi tattva is present as the force of gravity binding and giving rise to mass and weight, jala tattva is present as the force of attraction and repulsion within the atom, agni as the nucleus, vayu tattva is present in the wheeling motion and the Akash tattva in all the empty spaces within and outside. 

There are the five corresponding senses to receive these modified vibrations to give shape to the object in collusion with the mind. The ear receives the nada vibrations of Space, eye the light and heat generated by the fire, touch receives the aerial contact, tongue the water and smell the earth element. 

That completes the picture. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I feel uplifted when I listen to your talks or read the works of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. It inspires me to live by their teachings in my daily life. But as soon as I close the book or the talk ends, I find myself slipping back into old habits and patterns, handling things the same way I always have. How can I truly practice their path in my everyday life🤔?

What are the indications one should look for to renounce things of the past to leap towards a new future? For instance, if one has to move countries, change jobs, renounce one ideal for another one – in all these how does one take the correct decision of leaping from one stage of life to another? One feels mental indications are not that reliable🤨.

There are no outer indications on which one can rely. Equally the mind is a poor guide weighing pros and cons. The sure indication can only come from the inmost heart. But for that the emotions and desires…
