AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I am working as a teacher in a CBSE school. I am not able to be very sincere in my work. Many ideas come to my mind to teach children, but not able to put them into practice. I am not able to concentrate in any work I am doing and hence not able to finish it on time. And thereby don’t get time to prepare the lessons the way I want. Please guide me.

It often happens that as we grow in consciousness things that interested us in the past do not seem so interesting anymore. Besides one gets caught in the routine of life and the varied challenges it brings that were not there when one was studying and the field of work chosen. Over a period of time the work itself becomes routine and mechanical and is unable to engage us anymore.

It also happens that we experience a need for transition and change during middle age. It is like a new window of opportunity that opens for us.

The way to go forward is to reinvent and reorient yourself. Try to find out things that interested you but which you could not pursue. Take them up again. Spend some time in self discovery. Read more, travel if possible,  explore the deeper spiritual dimension of life.

As to the work, try to find new ways taking advantage of the discoveries that have taken place, apply creative ways of teaching. Essentially it is the need for progress and change that you seem to be experiencing. Heed to it. Move towards the future with courage and faith.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

Hindus worship various gods and goddesses. Like Ganesha for success. Lakshmi for wealth. Durga for protection. Similarly, why is Shivalinga worshipped? As you mentioned yesterday, Shivalinga is a very powerful symbol of divine power working on earth. It is representative of the union of Shiva and Nature. So is Shivalinga worshiped to seek prosperity, nourishment, strength from Prakriti that is Parvati and wisdom, knowledge from Shiva🤔?

As to what one can ask is upto the one who is worshipping. As Sri Krishna says in the Gita that whatever god one worships and whatever boon one asks it ultimately reaches the Supreme Divine,…

I was ruminating on an issue and wanted your opinion. Sri Aurobindo said that Sri Ramakrishna was as much an Avatar as Christ, so his spiritual power or impact on world in numbers or quality must be similar if not equivalent to that of Christ. Sri Ramakrishna also reveals that Maa Sarada devi was the Avatar of Mahasaraswati, so she too must be equivalent in power and impact on the world to Sri Ramakrishna and therefore Christ. And Swami Vivekananda was a Rudra vibhuti who did Tapasya and realized the truth within, so his spiritual power and impact must be greater than Muhammad or even Shivaji or Augustus. And I don’t even need to mention Sri Aurobindo and the Mother themselves as the Supreme Avatars. And there were countless enlightened sages unleashed into India in the last century like the Heavens had broke loose😐.

First about the facts. Sri Aurobindo did not speak of Sri Ramkrishna as an Avatar in the sense of the Gita. In fact Sri Ramakrishna himself spoke something similar when he spoke about it. But both Sri Aurobindo and Sri ….
