AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How to do inner work on vanity and pride and ego of I’m better, and then also seeking attention and love, and approval, Being scared of disapproval. Being watchful of what I’m doing when people are around, like they’ll judge. 🙁🦋[…]

I’ve been looking into it… But I can’t find any way. It comes up in different disguises. More smarter each time. But then investing so much time in these, it’s a very exciting mental activity, but no solution comes.

The simplest solution is not to think about oneself and instead be preoccupied with learning new things, developing new capacities, cultivating hobbies and interests. When you have a little free time, reflect upon the mysteries of existence. Think about how much we do not know and must know, how much we are yet to accomplish. Think about what we aspire to be rather than what we were or are. Have an aim too high, a goal too vast and rare and sublime for anyone to compete. Find your true swadharma and go about living by its truth. Remember, there are no two persons who are the same. Each is unique. Discover this uniqueness in you, what would truly define you, and then you will never feel the need to be defined by someone else. Read the biographies of the great ones and the path they took to realise and express the truth within them. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes. Pressure upon the crown takes place before the full opening.

Many, many, many experiences come. It is best not to get too much into analysing, understanding them else one can easily get distracted or the ego may get puffed up. 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,…

Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.  📚🧠✨

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,..
