AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

During early days we used to experience miracles when praying to mother. But years later we don’t experience the same. Why is it so? How to overcome worldly distractions and be sincere to Mother? Even though we know way, what is preventing me from devoting myself to the fullest🤔? Why have I wasted so many years?

The need for miracles means that the vital wants an easy way out. It means that we are wanting the Divine not for our ultimate and permanent good but for the satisfaction of desires and for transient good. Perhaps that is why the miracles have become less so that one can graduate from the artharthi (seeker of material goods) to a jigyasu (seeker of Knowledge and Truth). It means that the Mother is taking you seriously and wants you to engage with the yoga in a true way. The first step to be taken is to read Her works so that we know that the true miracle is not getting what we want but becoming what we must be. Do not lament the past but learning the lessons go forward confidently towards the future. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is like getting delayed by the scenery on the way. Stay focused on giving oneself more and more to the Divine, growing in faith, sincerity, love and surrender,…

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read. 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
