AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

After listening your recent talk on journey to the Maha Kumbh i came to know that Sri Aurobindo Sadhanalaya, Ayodhya is blocked from all the four sides. It is really very sad. Why don’t the Lord and Rajrajeshwari Maa who can do anything prevented this from happening?It is really very painful for those who love The Mother and Sri Aurobindo😥

The Divine does not act according to the human ideas of omnipotence. He allows a great degree of  freedom of choices to the human instruments rather than crush them into silence which is the way of the insecure Titan. He lets people choose the strings to which they will hold on to until the day when He shakes them and all that was misaligned drops off like dry leaves in the dust. This is the hardest lesson for man to learn that he is nothing and can do nothing without the Lord. Instead human beings easily get drunk with pride and believe they are the doers of great deeds. But as you see in the story of the Kena Upanishad even the gods get humbled when the Lord arrives. 

Yes, it is an interesting Lila of the Lord that is going on in Ayodhya. All that i can say is that mankind has yet to learn its lessons. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
