AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Nowadays (after the heavy, cruel attack in the name of God), I lost interest in my daily regular prayers for Bhakthi, Mukthi, and personal श्रेयस् प्रेयस्, but I understand the necessity for World Peace and in particular we Bharatiyas’ कर्तव्य in promoting the Shanti among lives on Mother Earth. 😊🙏🏻🪷✨[…]

That way, I remember our Great Rishis, Sri Krishna, Sri Rama, our Mother, and Sri Aurobindo very much with Gratitude. And now I am realising if one wants the well-being of the world in its totality, in this Yuga, we should join hands with Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and work with Them. 

That is the only way to help The Humanity, if one is serious about this. Without joining hands with the Divine, it’s impossible to establish this peace and Divinity on Earth. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother have come with the same purpose, with a definite solution and help. We should immediately understand and take their Grace to work for the Divine, towards its Divine Goal.

But this thought and this clarity are given to me by my Guru and Srimathe and Swami ji, who are constantly leading me in my life towards the Divine. Though My Guru, Srimathe, Swami ji has not taken up this task directly in their agenda in their manifestation here, yet now They are guiding me towards the fulfilment of my human life by guiding me towards Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. So Sri Aurobindo’s thoughts and His ideas are impressing me more nowadays. This is my current understanding and my present position now. 

Yes, there is a narrower spirituality that focuses on the individual Mukti and a wider, higher spirituality that goes much further in its seeking for the good of the world. 

Yes, it is a sign that your consciousness is growing and your aspiration is taking a more and more wider and cosmic character. As the aspiration grows, the path also becomes wider and the Divine, too, appears to us in forms more suited to the new aspiration. The real journey is not the journey of the outer personality that we know by a certain name and form, but the journey of the soul within, which is led from life to life with the torch of aspiration and faith. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dear Alok Ji, can you please tell me how I can get rid of my anger at Sri Aurobindo and also how to regain trust in him? 🙏🏻💗

Trust is a very precious, priceless gift. Even among human beings it is special. But when it is towards the Divine then it should be doubly carefully guarded.  

Again anger is an extremely harmful emotion towards anyone. It hurts and harms both, the one who harbours it and the one towards whom it is directed. But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
