AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What I meant is simply that you don’t need to act hatefully to act decisively. You CAN see the Divine in the rapist, forgive them in your largeness of mind, and THEN or SIMULTANEOUSLY take an affirmative retaliatory action against them. 🤔❤️‍🩹🌼[…]

Interestingly, what I am willing to argue for is desireless action free from egoic vengefulness. I am arguing in favor of a love that doesn’t shrink away from waging Truthful Wars.

You are quite right here. But to answer to someone not on the same page, you may explain it thus that hate, anger, spitefulness, vengeance, vindictiveness, etc. do not help anyone. The strong ones rarely get angry. They respond with force and power if needed, but in perfect quietude. In any case, for a happy, lasting relationship, one should first focus upon the points of meeting, the common grounds, above all the aim. The response will differ, as each one has a different nature. Each one is right from their perspective. But if the goal is the same, the rest will be taken care of in due course of time. 

Affectionately,

Alok

Men, on the other hand have …

I have been a devotee of Hanumanji from my childhood. Traditionally we believe that Hanumanji still stays in the earth. I am curious that in the present Avatar of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, what is the role he is playing? Also, have you had any experiences with him? Thank you!⛰️🧡🏹🙏

Hanuman ji is a wonderful god who grants bhakti and shakti to those engaged in the sewa of The Lord. That has been my experience with him. 

In the Mahabharata itself there is a story of Hanuman ji teaching a lesson of humility to Bhimsen ji. He also protects the chariot of Arjuna against occult forces. In Kaliyuga he has manifested through some mystics, the most famous instance being of Neemkaroli baba. In the new cycle that has begun now, the old guardians and the…

But there also might be some instances where I have to see or face something that is inappropriate or sensitive. How do I find the courage? 🔥😶‍🌫️🌼🌌

The most powerful method is to see the Divine in and behind everything. The first step towards that is to cultivate equanimity and wideness. It is to see the larger picture, like the background sky behind everything. While one has to respond to the outer event in a manner that is appropriate to the situation, one should always …
