AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Could you please explain what exactly these three forces are in the passage from Life Divine🤔? All our activities are the play of the triple force of the old philosophies, knowledge-force, desire-force, action-force, and all these prove to be really three streams of one original and identical Power, Adya Shakti. Even our states of rest are only equable state or equilibrium of the play of her movement…

I thought it was the three gunas sattwa, rajas and tamas being mentioned but I wasn’t sure how tamas could correlate to action-force at all. Perhaps these are something else.

Tamas is not mentioned because it is about activity that he is speaking. Tamas is inertia and sets in to balance the activity. The three forces are part of the tantra. They are powers that move us, the will in life, gyan shakti, iksha shakti, kriya shakti. The knowledge should be there, then the will to execute it and the power of action in the instruments to do what knowledge has seen as the thing to be done, the will has accepted and impels and the instrument that responds to the will. This is not the triple modes of Nature but the triple forces behind all activity. 

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.
