AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What do you think is the role or usefulness of Chat GPT 💻 in studying Sri Aurobindo’s works and those of other Masters?

This software looks like a wonderful utilisation of an emerging AI world and turned to serve a better purpose and it is very interesting and novel.

However…although I see the many benefits and advantages of having a prompt, quick tool to ask questions, generate relevant comprehensive passages from the Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s writing…it does make one wonder if it can truly answer questions to a yielding extent.

Whilst there is no doubt that the software can rapidly collate related passages, match words from the question to words and phrases in the Collected Works…isn’t it impossible for a compute software to truly answer the essence of a human’s questions with compassion, empathy, wide understanding of the human experience…and most importantly…love ?

For questions such as those posted as examples, I can very well see the advantages. However, if beyond that one begins to ask personal, profound questions which could potentially make or break a life situation and one takes the answer generated as absolute then, couldn’t it have the potential to give rise to dangerous territory ? Especially for children and young people.

One would hope that the user will use it for the intended purpose but it could very easily, quickly turn into a slippery slope…no?

I am not aware fully of the ins and outs of the software, perhaps limits have been set on the depth of questions which the software is set to. Are there any limits ?

My intention is not to criticise…just voicing the questions I have open for discussion 😊

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Respected Alok da, 1) I want to progress. With the work I am currently doing, I feel as though I am not learning anything new. Deep down, there is a longing for what the Mother has chosen for me to be revealed, and for my path of action to be connected with Sri Maa. (I know no work is small or bigger, just want to know this is for me.) 😊🙏🏻🌾

It is not easy. That is why at first one should practice the karmayoga, that means doing everything with a nishkama bhav, expecting nothing from anyone. Whatever be the work and to whomsoever it may be outwardly directed, inwardly you should consecrate it to the Mother and do it only for Her. As to outer situations and ..

I am reading Letters on Yoga for 2 hours at night; initially, I was able to build a certain amount of concentration…. But for the last two days, I can’t. Many thoughts come and distract, most of the time, X’s memories, our intimate moments and many other thoughts come and drive me away. 📖😣🦋🌻[…]

These are obviously attacks by forces that want to obstruct the gyana yagya that you have begun. Don’t pay much attention to these distractions and continue reading. Keep offering to the Mother and they will leave you.
