AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da, since it’s festival time the atmosphere is full of vital energies and all day I have to meet people and socialise, the days I don’t meet many and in my routine I can concentrate and so my dreams too are clear and symbolic but these days due to the situation all is spoil and dreams are of subconscious chaos, past memories or I don’t remember, so can you advise what to do? Though since more than a month every nite as I sleep off Mother’s Savitri commentaries with Sunil da’s music is on only but other than that what can I do🤔?

Yes, socialization is almost like a disease that is difficult to get out of the system once it settles as a default program of life. I understand the milieu wherein it is difficult to completely avoid though one can try to minimize it. I suppose the best thing is to practice inner equanimity and keep remembering Her inwardly.  Here is a letter of Sri Aurobindo on the subject that I have found very useful for myself. 

‘When one is living in the world, one cannot do as in an Asram— one has to mix with others and keep up outwardly at least ordinary relations with others. The important thing is to keep the inner consciousness open to the Divine and grow in it. As one does that, more or less rapidly according to the inner intensity of the sadhana, the attitude towards others will change. All will be seen more and more in the Divine and the feeling, action, etc. will more and more be determined, not by the old external reactions, but by the growing consciousness within you.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sometimes, when I work as an Offering to the Divine, I expect nothing from it. But I feel that I do it with the motivation that when I work for the Divine, I will be purified and spiritually Progress. Is this a good motivation to have, or that becomes a desire too? 🫴🏼🌼😊🙏🏼🌷

It is not a desire but an aspiration which is perfectly valid. Desire springs from the vital and its purpose is aggrandisement or pleasure or an increase in quantity. Aspiration is for an improvement of quality in our instrumental  nature, for its progress and betterment for the Divine Work, even for outer things so that we
