AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, one of my subject teacher does not tech us prop3erly and he called us bad words and insults us in front of the class. He asked us to revise a doc of 40 pages and he has not even taught us half of it. Please Alok da can you tell me what to do my term 1 exams are coming😪?

I can understand the frustration when teachers behave badly and set a bad example. But look at it this way that school is a place where we learn the lesson at two levels. First is about the subjects that we learn in classes. The second, and most important, are the lessons of life that we learn through the interactions with teachers, friends and others, how we take success and failures and how we develop certain faculties, qualities and capacities needed for life.

Coming to the teacher we have to totally ignore his bad words, anger etc. People insult us only if we accept their insult. But if we just brush it off saying that we are not what he is saying about me then it stops affecting us. The purpose of the teacher is to facilitate learning. Take whatever he can give but learn to do more and more self reading.  Now so much good material and good books are available on every subject. Learn from these alternate sources. If time is less than increase concentration. By increasing our concentration we can learn the same subject much faster.

Have confidence and I am sure you can learn in less time and do well. 

Lots of love

Alok Da

These dreams and visions belong to the intermediate vital worlds. It is a world that imitates Truth and misleads the soul through aggrandizing the ego and stimulating ambitions and desires. It is good that you defeated their designs and remembered The Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

A few months ago, I felt my practice of Integral Yoga had become overly mental and habitual—gathering concepts rather than living the sadhana—so I stepped away and followed a structured traditional discipline involving mantra-japa. 📖🕯️🙏🏼[…]

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 you—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. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]
