AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » In one of your talks you said that after 1961 Mother was out of Her body but She had to undergo pain for some reason. Can you explain me a little clearly as why Mother who was the Divine had to undergo this pain in her body. I mean she could have avoided it if She wanted. But why She didn’t do that🤔?

If She avoided the pain, it would mean She was just like any of us looking after Her personal welfare though with a greater power at hand. On the other hand taking upon Herself the pain of creation with the object of transmuting it is Her very purpose of human birth. In fact the very act of assuming a human body is a pain for any Divine being.

Pain is due to knots of resistance in the human body to the higher consciousness. So while personally She had mastered all pain way before, She had to now do it for others. Hence She took up the general resistance in human consciousness and forced Her Light and Force into it leading to the pain. If humanity was more receptive and open, less resisting then it could have been avoided.

Basically being the Mother She took upon Herself the pain of Her children and bore it so that the human body may open more and more to the Divine Light and Force and Love.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
