AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The more I see the world, there is an anguish that grows in me at times. I am taught to pray to the divine in those situations. I was asking the mother to help me be conscious of my life purpose, after which, I feel more and more identified with Earth as a being, and so recently, there is an inner need in me to pray for the manifestation of divine will on Earth. I even feel like praying and offering certain natures of certain people I know to the mother for the best for them to happen. Is this okay? To pray to the mother for others, to pray or aspire for increasing the intensity of Earth’s aspiration? Somewhere mother has said that it is better if the person needing change prays on their own instead of someone else praying for them or am I misunderstanding something here? Thank you🙂

To pray for all, even for the wicked and the wretch, is indeed the highest of prayers. Such universal prayers are described in the Bhagawat and the Upanishads. The Mother’s Prayers and the boons that Savitri seeks for Earth and men as revealed by Sri Aurobindo are a living testimony of such prayers and their great value for the Divine.  It shows a wideness of inner consciousness and an aspiration for the Divine Manifestation upon earth which is directly in line with the Mother’s Yoga. It is indeed a beautiful Grace to have such a rarest of rare aspiration. 
Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
