AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel I need the company of like minded people for studying Sri Aurobindo. I really love to read Mother and Sri Aurobindo but sometimes I can’t get myself to do so in an organised manner. A little bit of a nudge from time to time by a few friends would be great. Are the any online study circles that I can join? I don’t know of any in my city. I don’t find many people on Twitter or Discord who are into the integral yoga, hence I get into these other mixed spiritual communities and waste my time discussing many things that are irrelevant from the perspective of the Yoga. [conti]

I want to stop doing this and associate with the correct company and seriously dedicate my time and efforts to prepare my aadhar for the Integral Yoga.

Yes the need is valid and has its justification. There are certain online study circles, also WhatsApp groups. You can join my WhatsApp group if you like. I know there are online groups but not sure how to access them. Where do you live? May be I can suggest something there.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
