AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes, some prayers come to mind, like – ‘Maa, give me this environment, give me this thing, bring the harmony to my family,…’ etc., etc. The question is, Mother’s picture is on my mobile. 😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Then may I communicate with this picture even if I am at that time in a crowded bus, train, or in my workplace? Or do I have to preserve these prayers in my mind & go to the samadhi & tell only the necessary prayers?

Again question is, while one is communicating from a crowded environment, do all these prayers reach the Mother, or do so many people cancel out one’s prayer to the Mother? I mean, the prayer is not able to reach the Mother?

The Divine is everywhere and one can pray anytime, anywhere. She is in the heart, closer than the mobile in hand. 

The world is everywhere, even at the Ashram, since we carry it within us. It is upto us as to what we choose to focus upon. 

It is not the crowd outside but the noise inside, especially the noise of doubts that drag the prayers down, whereas faith gives it wings to reach the Divine. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Even the other temple on the other …

Based on chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Life Divine, I was wondering how Sri Aurobindo comes to the conclusion that an omnipresent reality exists and that only this reality explains the universe. 🌌🙂🙏🏻🪷[…]

The logic trail is as follows. Human beings, cutting across the differences in time, space and education seek or aspire for some ultimate of  freedom,  knowledge, truth, power, joy. The seeking is universal and hence suggestive of these things (we seek) hidden somewhere. ..
