AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Requesting your prescription for growing in the Presence and closeness of the Master and Mother through whatever work, especially when physicaly away from the Ashram. Gratitude 🙏🏻🌼

Here is a prescription straight from the Lord and Master which would be the best for you. Frame it carefully in the inner chamber of your heart and practice it regularly.

‘Please tell me something which I can always turn to for help and contact during my stay in Bombay. I pray that I may feel the presence of the Mother and yourself throughout my days far away and come back safely to my home here at your feet.

Remember the Mother and, though physically far from her, try to feel her with you and act according to what your inner being tells you would be her will. Then you will be best able to feel her presence and mine and carry our atmosphere around you as a protection and a zone of quietude and light accompanying you everywhere.

It is quite possible for you to do sadhana at home and in the midst of your work—many do so. What is necessary at the beginning is to remember the Mother as much as possible, to concentrate on her in the heart for a time every day, if possible thinking of her as the Divine Mother, to aspire to feel her there within you, offer her your works and pray that from within she may guide and sustain you. This is a preliminary stage which often takes long, but if one goes through it with sincerity and steadfastness, the mentality begins little by little to change and a new consciousness opens in the sadhak which begins to be aware more and more of the Mother’s presence within, of her working in the nature and in the life or of some other spiritual experience which opens the gate towards realisation.’

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/remembering-the-mother-and-feeling-her-presence#p11)

There can be no better prescription than this. Remember Her as often as you can and dedicate all you do to Her.

Affectionately, 

Alok Da

I must say this is quite impressive in a general sense, as close to the truth as possible. 

There is only one problem though. The same answer or even a much less mentally satisfying answer, given by a Master, either a living Master or through the living words of the Divine or else received through the inner Guidance or if nothing else by the eyes of faith brings us closer to the Divine which is the real goal of the…

I often experience intense physical purges—such as severe nausea and abdominal heat—after encountering certain people or environments, leading me to wonder if Sri Maa spoke about absorbing others’ karmic energies and how to safely regain vitality. 🛡️🌸[…]

Not sure what you mean by lower energies of people getting absorbed. The human system is not an entirely closed container. The body and mind of each person is constantly engaged in an energy interchange all the time. And since most human beings live in the vital, the transaction also takes place mostly at the vital level. Most …
