AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mind has been in deep distress for the last few days. There were different parts of me trying to justify multiple things. ⚖️🔥🌸🙏🏻 […]

These are very high-level summaries :

Part 1 – Leaving job even for a year would mean I am foregoing the financial responsibilities of the family and maybe other services that can be done through money. Do the Karma Yoga; make it a Tapasya even if you may burn in the process. 

Part 2 – Mother and her work in the entire world do not need someone’s money; if you are not the instrument, she can make anyone her instrument. You should continue on this path; it’s just one year. You will feel her beauty and can make the rest of your life the Karma Bhoomi. She is calling me; that’s why I have this thought within. 

Part 3 – Even if I leave this battle for other time, it’s like procrastinating the decision.

Part 4 – Exhausted of these fighting parts. 

And then sought guidance from Sri Aurobindo and Savitri. 

The page opened to ‘The Descent into Night’.

Is this a glimpse of the world he mentions? 

And then came acceptance; whatever happens will be good. This is yet another play and playground being prepared for yet another play. 

All warred against all but with a common hate

Turned on the mind that sought some higher good;

All that you need to remember always is that you are The Mother’s child. Have faith in Her and She will carry you through everything. Go through the challenges remembering Her and offering all the situations, circumstances and the inner reactions to Her. Let Her take charge of your life and all will be well. Difficult periods are often a preparation for as great a leap towards the future. 

With prayers

Affectionately, 

Alok Da

Since Diwali/ Kali Puja is around the corner, I have a question regarding Maa Kali and an aphorism of Sri Aurobindo. I have not understood the message in the aphorism below: 428—I did not know for some time whether I loved Krishna best or Kali; when I loved Kali, it was loving myself, but when I loved Krishna, I loved another, and still it was myself with whom I was in love. Therefore, I came to love Krishna better even than Kali. ⚫💙🔥🙏🏻 […]
