Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » Pranam Alok Da. Mentally, I find Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to be complete in all aspects. Still, during meditation, I find it easier to meditate on Sri Ramakrishna than Sri Aurobindo or the Mother. Maybe I find Sri Ramakrishna more approachable when reading the gospel, and I see Sri Aurobindo as God, too tall, as described in Savitri, where some people find Savitri too high! Does it affect my yoga, or is it okay to continue like this? 😊🙏🏻🪷

Yoga doesn’t move along one fixed line valid for all. The inherent complexity of nature and the vastness of the Divine Consciousness cannot be straitjacketed along a narrow and fixed process. A great degree of freedom and plasticity is needed in the spiritual evolution, of which the most important first step is spiritual conversion and discovery of the psychic being. Whatever helps that process is fine. I am sure that with the growth of aspiration, Sri Ramakrishna himself will take you to Sri Aurobindo.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

If one were to summarise it in one sentence then one can say, in the deepest mystic sense, that the world has forgotten the Divine and suffers because of that. Instead, the average human being has not only turned away…

Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful. Will the mantra respect that person’s free will and grant them such wisdom and happiness within the material world? 📜😊🙏🏻🌼🌍[…]

It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There are mantras that do grant material happiness as well as wisdom. So it is perfectly possible to get these benefits through specific mantras. At the …

Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🛕🌸

As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things are aadambar and have little to do with Hindu Dharma. Neither the Gita nor the…
