AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok bhai ,today I read this from Prayers and Meditations . “The joy present to us in activity is compensated and counterpoised by the perhaps still greater joy that we feel in withdrawal from all activity “. Please do elaborate on this. Kindly put more words, as to why the Divine is called ‘a mystery’ and ‘the wonderful’ in the below shloka? Is the Divine indeed so Great and the Absolute😇?

He is a mystery because none can know Him by the natural instruments of the senses and mind. And even when we go beyond the mind and develop subtle senses, yet we can at best have only a glimpse of Him here and there. And when with great tapasya and an act of Grace we are led to an identification with Him we cannot express the experience as our thought and speech are very limited and finite and hence unable to reveal the Bliss and Splendour hidden in His infinite consciousness and being. 

As to the greatness and the absoluteness, can there be any doubt about it? A look at the material universe and trillions of stars and countless creatures interwoven with such a delicate harmony is evidence enough. And already people talk about millions of universes of different types. The Source, the Creator is always greater than the creation and would exist even if creation vanished in a moment. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack. Poets like Keats have a lyrical sweetness and beauty but lack vital power and raw force, which a poet like Browning has. 📜✒️😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Yes. Not only in poetry as you have rightly pointed out, but in everything, in the least atom and grain of sand one can see the working of the four aspects and the Knowledge and Power of the Divine Mother hidden behind it. ..

Today evening while meditating on mother’s organ music on fairy dance, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision it is a number 349 what does it’s means sir.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
