AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I was reading these lines on the functionality of subtle matter from Savitri🕊️: This wonderworld with all its radiant boon Of vision and inviolate happiness, Only for expression cares and perfect form; Fair on its peaks, it has dangerous nether planes

Its light draws towards the verge of Nature’s lapse; It lends beauty to the terror of the gulfs And fascinating eyes to perilous Gods, Invests with grace the demon and the snake.

1) Does that mean that the subtle matter is a region which only creates most beautiful forms and cares least about right or wrong while doing this? On earth, we see some dangerous and deceptive human beings with beautiful faces and charming personalities (especially celebrities). Are all these shapes and form a result of the subtle physical? 

Absolutely. In fact none of the inner worlds care about right or wrong which is uniquely a human concept. The world of glamour is full of these kinds but adds deception and falsehood from the dark worlds. Subtle world does not add deception or falsehood. It is like the plastic surgeon who restores the face of good and evil people alike.

2) Also, I did not understand how the subtle physical contains “dangerous nether planes”. I thought it was totally a world of beauty.

Nether planes and higher planes are in all the three worlds. There are beings and forces that are in close contact with the subconscient world and vice versa. The same is true of the vital worlds as well as little mind worlds.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure.

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. 🥂💬🍸🎶[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. 🪷✨💖🕯️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural. 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
