AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime. I am not speaking merely of physical things. All the inner things that I am giving you all the time, all the strength, light, energy and life that are being poured into you all the time, are meant for the service of the Divine, for the sake of transforming you. If you use them for any other purpose, you are a robber and your crime is the worst possible.” ~ The Mother (CWM 13:183) 📖🤔🌷

It means that all the capacities that we have – physical, vital, emotional, intellectual, spiritual – should be offered at the Feet of the Divine for His Work and Service. Most of the time, however, we take these capacities to be ours and use them for the satisfaction of our ego and desires. Doing so is to be like a thief since these capacities (and all else that we acquire in life) have been given to us as gifts from God and Nature. We should use them to make this world a better place, to say the least. Best of course is to lay all of it at the service of the Divine from where they have come to us. By doing this, the divine possibilities within us are released, and the capacities themselves are upgraded through their perfect use.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
