AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is everyone the son of God or there are mixed human beings-some sons of God and many sons of Asuras? Because in this world most of the human beings are busy in thinking about themselves. No concern about something other than themselves and their loved ones. That’s why many a times i think how such people can be sons of God😏?

In their deepest core everyone without exception is the child of God. This child of God present in everyone is the soul within which is a portion of the Divine. The mixture is in the outer nature and this too is in everyone and remains so long as we do not turn within and seek our soul. When people live on the surface spending their life in selfish pursuits, which is the case with most, then they are more like an Asura. Sometimes they become a full blown Asura when this egoistic selfishness becomes extreme with a will to dominate others and possess and use everything for their own selfish purposes. It is this extreme ambition that is the hallmark of the Asura. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
