AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why intelligent people complicate things, discuss theories, philosophies, analysis and confuse themselves and others?

Because such is the nature of mental intelligence. Our mind is like a restless monkey caught in a maze, surrounded by a dense fog and who does not even know where is he supposed to go. Hence it moves around here and there jumping from one possibility to another until tired, it sits for a while but only to start jumping again. Even if it was somehow brought near to the exit end of the maze or the true solution by some hand of destiny, it will again go back to its restless jumping around in the blind circuits of ignorance.

The problem is compounded by the fact that we think that our mental intelligence is the only or at least the highest intelligence. But our human intelligence is only a small fragmented ray of the Divine Intelligence that looks at everything in its all comprehensive complexity and yet, at the same time with the spontaneous simplicity of a child or a relatively unlettered man who can see directly what the much read degree holder misses. It is the the difference between the analytical and the intuitive mind that we see in the simple human beings endowed with faith and in those who have gone beyond man and the rational human intelligence into the higher realms of the spiritual and the divine intelligence.

Let me share an experience, there was a seminar on transformations, number of discussions happened and then questions and answers. Then the watchman of that place caught hold of the speaker as he was curious as in what the discussion was about so he told him that it was about transformation. So the watch man said, “so much discussion of course there is transformation. I see it every day. I see it all around, on the way when I come to work I see it. I see a pond on which lotus is blooming in a pond so if lotus can bloom in the mud, why can’t man grown into God.” See it was very simple for him to understand than an intellectual.

Affectionately,

Alok Da.

Specifically the last 2 lines “Individually you are a portion of the Divine Mother, Her beautiful child whom you will gradually discover and identify with one day. Spiritually you and all of us are the Divine wearing a human form and name.🤨”

It means that we exist at several levels each with its corresponding identity. But the core identity, the permanent truth of our being, is that we are a portion of the Divine,…

You said that destruction was completely avoidable if those involved in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata responded to the Divine Will but it is also said that Divinity of an Avatar will be fully manifested when there is great darkness or adversity at the other side. Without Ravana how the Divinity of Rama would have been fully manifested and also without Kansa or Duryodhana how the Divinity of Krishna would have been fully manifested? There is also the story of Jai – Vijay so is it the leela of the Divine for his complete manifestation or the distortion in creation🤔?

Yes this is the other complimentary truth that the greater the darkness, individually as well as collectively, the greater the possibility of Light. India is a classic example of a civilisation plunged into darkness for …
