AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“All was now luminosity and force” What is the meaning of this message 🙏???

This is a line from Book Three Canto Three of Savitri, The House of the Spirit and the New Creation. Here, in this Canto we see the king-yogi Aswapati having a direct glimpse of the Supramental World. In the supramental world, unlike our own, there is no dissociation between knowledge (represented by light) and will (represented by force), between Purusha, the light that sees and knows, and Prakriti,  the force that acts and executes. The line describes this experience of unity between the highest light, the light of the Divine and the highest force, the force of the Divine. There is no more any division felt there, between Spirit and Matter, between the power that knows and the power that fulfils.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
