AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Thou seemest to bewilder my intelligence with a confused and mingled speech; tell me then decisively that one thing by which I may attain to my soul’s weal.||2|| Really I want to know which one book, reading by which will give me the essence and understanding of all scriptural knowledge fully?Because every scripture attracts me. (Bhagavsdsm, Ramayanam, Bhavadgita, Upanishads) 📖

Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri contains everything. 

If, for some reason, you find it difficult, then simply read Letters on Yoga Volume 1 and 2

Or else stay with and stick to the Gita, especially the one that includes Sri Aurobindo’s commentary. 

If this is too big, then read the Isha Upanishad along with Sri Aurobindo’s Isavasyam Upanishad. 

If you prefer story format, then read the Srimadbhagwatam along with the Mahabharata. 

(follow-up question:)

My time is running out. I have less energy and less time. Want to get the maximum benefits in minimum reading.

If you feel this way, then instead of reading, just take the Divine Name, whatever appeals to you most, or do the mantra Japa, such as the mantra, ‘OM Namo Bhagawate.’

(follow-up question:)

Every scriptural Mahatmiyam says that’s The Best. Also, everything is sweet. Regarding Sri Aurobindo’s books, they are guidance of far-off Yoga. I am not eligible. It’s too high. So, here in my ordinary human life, by reading what, can I get fulfillment before leaving the world?

Take God’s Name. It is the shortest and sweetest way towards every possible fulfilment. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I thought I had changed my past impure self a little bit; I thought I had become a little better human… but again, something happened and I feel I failed more miserably than before…. I have not changed at all…. I think I am worse… It is heartbreaking to know that I am just the same person as before…. 🌱🌅🙏🏻

The fact that you want to change is itself a sign that you have changed! This is how the change takes place. In the beginning we act almost unconsciously without even feeling the need for change. True progress begins when we become aware that we need to change. Otherwise almost everyone is busy finding faults with others which is such a waste of energy and effort. Good or bad we cannot change others. The only person we need to change is …

I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]

Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the Divine Will. Bhishma was quite selfless renouncing the throne and serving as a shield to the throne of Hastinapur defending the king regardless of who he was. But he was acting in opposition to the Divine Will. Self giving means to live for the Divine, to make the Divine Service the very motive of all our actions. It means to direct our thoughts to the Divine, to think of the Divine instead of the thousand useless things. With …

Could you help me understand the following pad from Tulsidas’s Vinay Patrika? I am not entirely sure what he is really talking about. I think he is distinguishing between ordinary life and spiritual life, and it seems related to my previous question.

September 21, 2026

Here, Tulsidas ji is speaking about how true bhakti is not easy to practice. Many speak about it but very few can practice it.

He then goes on to give two examples to show that not all can do everything. One should have the right temperament for it. Thus, a fish can easily swim through a river and cross it…
