AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My question is regarding the value of beautifying oneself through hair colours, skincare and expensive cosmetics, as well as time taking make up routine. What does Mother think about this? ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒน[…]

I see that everywhere, a beautiful well maintained and embellished face with makeup and a beautiful, expensive dress up is given prominence and grabs attention. Social sites are filled with makeup routines. Teenagers are going gaga with new mobile phones, brand new models of vehicles, plastic surgery, cosmetic changes, etc.

Why is a simple look with minimal or no makeup not considered as a marker of beauty? Aren’t clean, comfortable clothes enough? Even in pictures or Idols, all Goddesses have a perfect figure and a beautiful face. Why is the expression of eyes, innocence of face, serenity, or purity of expression not considered an important beauty standard? How to keep one’s head erect and feel confident in this atmosphere?

It is due to the action of the vital world descending upon earth to stall, deflect and distort the advent of the New Creation that all this artificiality has entered, falsifying all the values, including love and beauty and knowledge and power. But slowly these masks of deception are being removed and the beauty of simplicity and truth of love are returning. It is just a question of time that this apparent victorious artificiality,ย  this show and sham, will give way to true expressions of oneself. The Best is to once and for all stop giving importance to what people say and their ignorant opinions.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sri Aurobindo wrote Savitri as the mantra of the future. He did not say anything about interpreting it. The Mother did give very short comments on several passages of Savitri and She did allow certain direct disciples of Sri Aurobindo such as A B Purani and Amal Kiran to give talks on Savitri. Besides Savitri is also taught in the Ashram …
