AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Reading Sri Aurobindo some times brings me a grim mood cos I begin to feel the immense labour of evolution in my heart,how much did it take for life to even emerge out of inconscient matter and even his historical writings in so far as what it takes to be a free independent nation and the test of world history that we and many other nations had to face. I think Sri Aurobindo in the Ilion depicts a bit of the tragic nature of existence but he also says in an aphorism that poets sometimes make too much of the tragedies of life. How to tackle these mood swings of immense energy and jest and the tragic melancholic contemplation admist this battle of life😥?

One has to cultivate faith. It is the surest guide in the darkest days. Faith comes by reminding ourselves that there is indeed a Divine Wisdom, a Divine Grace guiding this world. It knows its ways and the needed steps. To trust the Divine Grace is the secret of all stability. 

Affectionately,

Hip-hop is a form of singing. The lyrics are the content one fills in the form. Just as one may serve poison in a golden glass or nectar in a cup of mud, so too the two must be seen distinct from each other. Of course it is wonderful to serve nectar in an appropriate bowl of gold. But it is not always the case. 

As a form, Hip-hop brings a unique dimension by trying to break free from all forms and bringing a new possibility in the world of music more consistent with the pace and the consciousness of the new age that is…
