AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, “There are others which the Gita does not raise or answer, for they were not pressingly present to the human mind of that day.” Has Sri Aurobindo raised and answered these beyond the Gita? 📙✒️🦚🪷[…]

Would you please shed some light on these and any references to readings that would point to them? Or are we to leave them for the time being, possibly for another lifetime to encounter them?

There are a number of questions that the Gita doesn’t take up, such as the purpose of creation and the goal of the collective human existence. 

The Gita does not resolve the mystery of evil, why it is there, and its radical solution, if any. 

It reconciles and synthesises Sankhya, yoga, gyana and bhakti but does not fully take up the synthesis between Vedanta and tantra, between God and the world, especially the material life.

It does not take up the idea of evolution and the significance of the form as well as the destiny of the body, the idea of transformation, etc. 

There are other, several other issues, such as the man-woman equation, the cycles or yugas and many many other questions,  especially the destiny of earth and mankind, that we find answered by Sri Aurobindo in various works such as the Human Cycle, The Life Divine, Letters on Yoga. 

In fact, there are many, many other aspects of creation that we find in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s writings that one does not find in any scriptures. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Last night I had a dream in which I was enjoying myself with my friends; the girl I loved was also part of the gathering. But now the group which I saw there is mostly scattered and we don’t have the same intensity of friendship between us. Is this just a subconscient thing coming up? Or is there any significance behind this? 🌙💭🤝🙏🏻 […]

Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
