AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Kindly tell me when to become passive and when not to become passive, because in the beginning, one can’t surrender as one can’t understand the importance of surrender. What is the right attitude and how to possess the right attitude in all circumstances? ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ‚

One should be passive only to the Divine Will. If one is sure of the Divine Will in the quietude of one’s inmost heart, then one can be passive to It and obey unconditionally. But otherwise, when one is labouring in ignorance, it is better and safer to make active choices using the discerning intellect. This is best done by keeping oneself free from preferences and desires and see dispassionately what actions are in tune with our highest aspiration and will draw us nearer to our Divine Goal. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank youโ€”the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ[…]

Call The Mother, take Her Name and keep offering all your pain and dilemmas to Her. Surrender yourself to Her with faith and trust in Her.ย 

Yes you should speak to your ex-husband unless and until he takes a clear decision regarding bringing up the child jointly together….
