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

In Gita while revealing the secrets of Vibhuti and even later in eleventh chapter Krishna says to Arjun that what you are experiencing is not accessible even to Gods and Maharshis. And the vision of Vishwarup is not of exclusive oneness where multiplicity is lost but rather there is the totality of world, God, creation, destruction combined. So is this the supramental experience?🏹🎯⚔️🐎

Both your understanding is true and right. 

Before the Gita, there is the main emphasis is primarily on the two sides or aspects of creation, – the world of ever changing appearances and the stable unchanging Self behind it. The Brahman Reality is regarded as the Transcendent but It has nothing to do with the Creation. The gods and goddesses are primarily part of the cosmic…

What is the symbolism behind the puranic story of Rudra chasing Surya with his trident, when Surya defeated the demon Vidyunmali who was a devotee of Rudra, and subsequently felling down of Surya to Kashi?🔱⚡🔥

May 14, 2026

This is an alternate version which is clearly suspect. The original story is clearly symbolic of the triple forces of Nature, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, the three chariots of three asura brothers, notably of gold, silver and iron. The three modes of nature are never aligned. If and when aligned, the Asuras die and the Self is liberated. To do that …

In Book 2 Canto 10, Section 4 (68) ‘The Kingdoms and Godheads of Little Mind’, Sri Aurobindo talks about dwarf three-bodied trinity. Are they Thought, Desire and Reason? Is it right? If wrong then which are they?🕊️📜✒️

May 14, 2026

The dwarf triple bodied trinity are the three levels at which the present human mind operates. They are, in evolutionary sequence, the physical, vital and the mental mind or the mind proper. 

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…
