AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am a devotee. I have been having retinal problems for a long time. I am taking Ayurvedic treatment for the same. Now I am facing a dilemma, as Ayurvedic treatment is very slow and I am worried about my vision. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

Allopathic treatment does not guarantee good vision. Also I will have to go through repeated eye inj for life time and complex laser treatment. I have tried pranic healing for the same, with doubt in my mind whether a sadhak should go for pranic healing. I want to know whether I can go for pranic healing. Do I have to go through allopathic treatment? Please suggest any mantra for repetition. That will help me a lot.

It is doubtful if Ayurvedic Science has the treatment for the kind of retinal problem you seem to be having. It will be best to go by the treatment advised by Allopathy Opthalmologist. As far as The Mother is concerned She did not insist on any particular mode of therapy. Each line of treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages. She did find Homeopathy as better in certain instances but did not advise any rigidity regarding the mode of treatment. What is most important is to have faith in the doctor and the system of therapy one undertakes. Doubts and healing don’t go well together. Eyes are an important organ and if regular injections are the best or the only approach left, then I see no harm in trying that with faith in the Grace. Anyways it is safe and given with enough precautions for pain, etc. Since you have tried other approaches, why not try the recommendation of Allopathy.

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? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’—

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.ย ย 

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. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

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.ย

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 ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

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, andย theย unionย has a threefold character. There is aย unionย in spiritual essence,ย byย identity; there is aย unionย byย the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
