AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is voidness, blankness? How are these different from Inertia? In emptiness vital becomes restless to fill it up with some ordinary activities, then how to handle the vital and become peaceful?๐ŸŒฟ

There are two kinds of void experiences. The higher is full of Peace and inner strength, and joy. The other is its shadow from the Inconscient and results in blankness and inertia, tending towards depression, lack of energy, enthusiasm. One should not let oneself get stuck in it, as the more one delays, the more it engulfs one. Shake it off by any work or activity that can open some door of joy. Even cooking and having your favourite dish or meeting a friend is better than inertia of blankness. Later, one can look for the cause, which is generally due to frustration born out of stifling of some desire. That needs to be handled through various means such as sanyama, buddhi, offering to the Divine, aspiration, faith, surrender.

Affectionately,

If not a supramental life, what you’d consider atleast of the essentials required of living a healthy life mentally and emotionally?

Let us leave the supramental, spiritual and psychic apart for a moment. Nor can we arrive at the real problem if we just think in terms of numbers and case studies.

1. Has there been an increase of psychiatric as well as other illnesses?

Most probably yes. The reason is manifold. Science with its expansion of medication has lowered the natural resistance as far as physical conditions go. Labelling is another problem as far as psychiatric illnesses go. Labelling isolates a person and then instead of treating him as an organic whole we treat symptoms. There is also…

I feel now that I was never unhappy. Just disillusioned with the world around me after a certain point in life. Needed to find the truth.ย About people. Reality of time. Other things. Work. Things told/said to me vs my own experience. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒŸ […]

The purpose is inbuilt within us as the tree is held back within the seed. So too the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul the more we feel conscious of …
