AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

After watching      Death and Beyond   TE 668 : What about those disciples who cannot reside there or die there?🧘🌳🪷♾️

Ashram is no more a geographical territory. From 1957, after the Supramental Manifestation, The Mother clearly described how the Ashram has extended to include all who have turned towards the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and declared themselves inwardly as disciples. Nolini da also spoke about the inner Ashram in the subtle physical world and so has been the experience of many who live outside. Pondicherry is the place where the seed has been planted and the roots dug deep into the soil of matter but the branches and twigs and leaves cover the whole earth. Wherever one is drawing strength and the sap from the writings of Sri Aurobindo or trying in whatever little measure to live this life, whoever is turned towards the Mother is part of this larger inner Ashram and what applies here applies there as well. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Whenver i try to make him understand by saying that he needs to work hard and stop wasting time on watching other people succeed(cricket; he is too attached to it..as if his life depends upon it) he doesn’t take my words seriously or maybe he just doesn’t understand what im trying to say. I don’t understand how to tell him how important physical and mental discipline is and that without it he would face serious consequences. Please guide me in this context amd how my parents should change in order to bring the best in him. 👦🎒🛹

Children do not understand these consequences at 9. It is only as reason begins to develop around 11 or 12 that one can discuss these things rationally. At his age what works is simply inculcating good habits either by observing them in parents or simply as a part of habits at home. For example, it should be the norm in the house …
