AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Now the question is, as a person dies, apart from the psychic being, what other things are carried to the next life and who carries them? The body  is not there, the psychic being goes to the psychic world. The vital goes to the vital world. The mental part goes to the mental world.  So, it is only the psychic that proceeds to the next birth. Then, while going to take the next birth, does the psychic collect certain elements from the vital and mental world? If yes,  how can it find its corresponding vital and mental which it had in the previous birth🤔?

As far as I have understood from our previous conversation, the subconscient and the inconscient are world consciousnesses. Anger, fear, jealousy and other such forces are nothing but universal vibrations. They get individualised in a person which can be called an illusion. 

Nothing of the subconscient or the inconscient belongs to the past lives. They carry the impressions of the present life only. The psychic being only carries certain impressions which have been touched by it and some other half finished learnings. 

The psychic being, as it evolves, develops an individual psychic personality around its core which of course is the divine spark within it. This psychic personality holds within it all the impressions of the past lives that had a deep impact and have now got integrated with the psychic being as soul memories, spiritual seekings and unfinished strivings. It is called as the true mental, true vital, true physical.

When the psychic being enters a new body, it is these elements of the psychic personality that attract the corresponding elements from the universal nature needed for its growth. At the same time and in the process other elements that are part of the earth nature automatically get attached such as heredity, environmental conditions, the subconscient upsurgings etc from universal nature. But this is not just a random process. Behind the cosmic ignorance there is the cosmic truth that uses all this material to further help the psychic in its evolution. The psychic uses them as part of its further growth.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaskar alok Da, Considering that Sonam Wangchuk – the Climate Activist – who is in jail, has drawn inspiration from Sri Aurobindo’s autobiographical account of his year-long detention in Alipore Jail (as detailed in ‘Tales of Prison Life’), – how do you assess the way the current government is addressing environmental issues and engaging with activists — and on what basis can one evaluate who is “Right” or “Wrong” in the government-versus-activist dynamic?” 🌿

First about the facts. Mr Sonam Wangchuk is not inspired by Sri Aurobindo. There is nothing even remotely common between him and Sri Aurobindo whose name he has used as if he is going through a similar process. It …

“There is no criterion, but one can easily distinguish if one is in the inward condition, not sleep, in which most visions take place, by the nature of the impression made. A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
