AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“When least defaced, then is it most divine” can you please explain these lines from Savitri🤔.

There is but One Power that operates in everything and everywhere. But its gets limited and distorted in its expression as it flows into the outer world like the river Ganga dropping pure from the skies and crystallising as snow on the Himalayan peak. It drips in its purity at the origin but slowly gets mixed up with various earthly elements and gets polluted. 

In human beings this Power flows through the channel of thought as human beings operate from the mind. The mind, in receiving and transmitting, distorts the Power due to its fixed habit, conditioning, preferences, limitations etc. But when the mind becomes quiet, the ego does not interfere by its own ideas and opinions, the desire self does not distort due to preferences and wanting certain results, then the truth received through intuition is least defaced and hence keeps its original divine purity to that extent. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

In one of your lectures on “Planned Action and Divine Action,” you mentioned that when we are praised or felicitated, one should neither deny it nor take personal pride in it. 🙁🤷🏼‍♂️🪷✨[…]

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
