AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, how to develop the talent and cognitive skills to deal with such multifaceted subjects like Sri Aurobindo did. I mean it kind of makes me marvel how between different volumes of works on philosophy, poetry, world history, philology, yoga etc.. his metamorphosises as if he’s a master at each one of them. He easily changes even the writing style be it in poetry and prose,the style of his revolutionary writings like bandemataram, karmayogin is quite different from the life divine, and also in poetry if we compare Ilion and Savitri etc..Is it a possible for seekers in general to have such polymath like talent or is it better to stick to one thing or is it just inborn and we can’t train ourselves🤔

Sri Aurobindo attributed the development of certain faculties especially of inspiration, intuition, flow of poetry, etc to the Yoga. As regards Yoga itself he attributed it mainly to the Divine Grace more than anything else. It has been the experience of those who turned towards him and opened to the Mother that certain new faculties suddenly developed and those that were there blossomed beautifully. The secret therefore is to open to the Divine Mother’s Grace. Of course one doesn’t take to Yoga for any of these aims. The only aim of Yoga is to live for the Divine, in the Divine and by the Divine. The rest is a natural, inevitable consequence. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to my mother to help me overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. 💗🌿

A marraige that does not fulfil certain basic conditions is not a marraige at all but a forced togetherness for both. Love and mutual respect are fundamental to any relationship, much more so in a marraige where love goes to the extreme of complete trust and self giving. Of course if one has a child it is not easy to separate and perhaps …

My intuition about life, love and happiness has always been proven wrong. Still, I live with an intuition for a dreamful life. This sometimes gives pleasure and sometimes pain; are there any options to move out? 🌱✨

It is not your intuition or dream or aspiration for a beautiful, happy life with love as its core and minister that is wrong. It is just that humanity is not yet ready for such a life and so will it be as long as ego and desires rule our nature. The dream is correct but the means to realise it are missing. As a matter of fact Intuition always sees far off as the eyes see the sky. But the feet can only walk barely two steps at a time on the ground. It is this gap …

Just had a phone call with an astrologer + tantra expert from Tarapith, West Bengal, regarding my situation. He told me that he made offerings to Mahakal related to my problems and said ki aapke upar kala jaadu hua hai by some muslim tantrik. 🙏🏻🕊️[…]

What else you expect if instead of having faith in the Divine Mother herself before whom no magic can stay, you are having faith in black magic and astrologers! Instead of lamenting and running here and there if only you could have faith in the Divine and aspire for the Divine Peace and Grace then all this will be behind you. It is your …
