AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Sir, In Sri Aurobindo’s Letters on Yoga, he says, “The faith that goes to the Cosmic Divine is limited in the power of its action by the necessities of the play. To get entirely free from these limitations one must reach the Transcendent Divine.” – Is The Mother the Transcendent Divine and must we put our faith in her, or is there something else Sri Aurobindo is talking about? Please elaborate. 📖😊🙏🏻🌼

[Faith > A Problem of Faith: https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/faith#p27]

The Cosmic Divine is Sri Krishna, the Divine who works in the world through the agency of Time and the gods and operates according to the necessities of the play as it unfolds. Of course Sri Krishna is the Purushottama as well and hence transcends all, but in his actual action He upholds the Cosmic Will as it expresses from the Overmind Consciousness. The Overmind Consciousness is the domain of the Cosmic Divine who holds the Cosmic Truth as received from the Supramental and manifests it through the dual play of Knowledge and Ignorance. 

The Transcendent Divine is the Supermind and beyond. It is manifested in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. It can completely change the movement of Time itself by bringing into play the Knowledge and Power of the Highest. The supramental action introduces a completely new element in the cosmic Consciousness that changes the nature of the play, the balance of powers and acts with an absolute Power that can override the Cosmic determinism and the Law. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Seeing dead relatives generally means coming in contact with things buried in the subconscious mind. It could be fears, perceived needs, unhappy relationships. It has nothing to do with the actually dead. They have surely moved on.

Quite a few conventions are broken by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. 1. The Mother appearing on the right side of Sri Aurobindo. Traditionally, Divine Mother’s aspects appear on the left of the Purusha (ex: Sita, Lakshmi, Parvathi). 2. Anti-clockwise climbing of stairs inside the Matri Mandir. 🌅🪷 […]

It is a complete freedom from the past, from the world as organised by the gods. This clean slate is needed to make a clear ground for the New Creation.

The release from the conventions is the release from the laws and norms of the old creation. It is akin to the story of Daksha Prajapati whose laws and norms are overturned by Shiva and the sacrifice of Mata Sati….
