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 comingπŸ˜ͺ?

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

Dear Da, I’m a single child. I always have this question: why don’t I have a sibling with whom I can share things? Also, my parents have a greater realisation of the Divine, so whenever I try something out of spirituality or try to get mixed with society, they get to know things from within and always doubt my intentions and try to keep me under their influence. πŸ˜’πŸŒΈπŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸƒ[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯
