AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Bande Mataram. In “Savitri” at page 299 at line 25ย – 27: “On peaks where Silence listensย with still heartTo the rhythmic metres of the rolling worlds,He served the sessions of the triple Fire. Please explain this: “triple Fire”. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”ฅ

The triple fire has a clear reference to the story of Nachiketa and Yama in the Katha Upanishad. It is the sacrifice that Nature offers to the Divine on the three levels of the Mind, Vital and the Physical plane. She offers this sacrifice so that the New Creation may manifest one day. The gods and the seven original seers or cosmic powers conduct and assist the sacrifice. Aswapati (Sri Aurobindo) has joined them in this process, that is to say that he has become equal to the first seers, a demigod helping the gods in their work. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dear Da, I’m a single child. I always have this question: why don’t I have a sibling with whom I can share things? Also, my parents have a greater realisation of the Divine, so whenever I try something out of spirituality or try to get mixed with society, they get to know things from within and always doubt my intentions and try to keep me under their influence. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชทโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ
