AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am in the path our integral yoga. I follow your talks and speeches in auromaa.org. You said so many times that, Maa is the powerful Mantra.But I am repeating any sentence in SAVITRI daily and instead of Maa. Also I am repeating AuroMaa. Is it enough sir? Also I am doing kriya yoga sadhana for marking stability of the mind and vital. Please give your guidance in respect of my sadhana

Chanting the Mother’s Name or both Names together in the way they come to you spontaneously is called Nam Japa. It has a great power in it when done with faith and devotion in the heart. It grows the consciousness full of the Divine.

Lines from Savitri are a mantra and by dwelling upon them the doors of the higher consciousness and its attendant consequences such as the spiritual transformation is facilitated. Savitri also brings us closer to the Divine Mother and the powerful effects of such an opening.

One is the Name of the embodied Divine and the other is His Word. Both are powerful means to help us grow in Yoga.

You can continue doing the kriyas if that is helping you.

Rest is a question of sincerity in the aspiration, faith in the Divine and the Yoga and, surrender to the Divine Mother.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

The fact that you want to change is itself a sign that you have changed! This is how the change takes place. In the beginning we act almost unconsciously without even feeling the need for change. True progress begins when we become aware that we need to change. Otherwise almost everyone is busy finding faults with others which is such a waste of energy and effort. Good or bad we cannot change others. The only person we need to change is …

I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]

Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the Divine Will. Bhishma was quite selfless renouncing the throne and serving as a shield to the throne of Hastinapur defending the king regardless of who he was. But he was acting in opposition to the Divine Will. Self giving means to live for the Divine, to make the Divine Service the very motive of all our actions. It means to direct our thoughts to the Divine, to think of the Divine instead of the thousand useless things. With …

Could you help me understand the following pad from Tulsidas’s Vinay Patrika? I am not entirely sure what he is really talking about. I think he is distinguishing between ordinary life and spiritual life, and it seems related to my previous question.

Here, Tulsidas ji is speaking about how true bhakti is not easy to practice. Many speak about it but very few can practice it.

He then goes on to give two examples to show that not all can do everything. One should have the right temperament for it. Thus, a fish can easily swim through a river and cross it…
