AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Alok da, where is the mind located? Can it be located🤨?

Mind as a principle is a plane of consciousness that extends across several layers. These layers or levels of consciousness has each its separate Time-Space dimension and Substance-Energy combination that is other than the physical dimensions or the material universe.

The human mind draws only a small selection of the universal mental planes and for doing so it uses the instrumentality of the brain evolved by nature for this purpose. The mind is not located in the brain, it is everywhere in operation. The brain however receives its vibrations from the mental worlds, gives them an appropriate dress as form of thought based on language conditioning and then expresses itself through speech.

It is somewhat like a computer. We may ask where is the program on display located. The obvious answer would be outside and way beyond the computer in internet space. The hardware is like the brain box that simply receives and displays it through the coded language using the electrical circuits.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sometimes I am shocked as I wonder are they even listening to what they are saying🙄? These type of new people I just don’t indulge more I keep any relations but what to do with the ones whom The Mother has put around you?

I fully understand and have gone through this phase in the beginning of the Yoga. Used to switch off inwardly, directing the consciousness to concentration in the heart centre on Her Presence, speaking very ….

It would help if you could clarity two terms Life and Thought, from the Life Divine. This is from the opening para of the chapter Reality Omnipresent: Since, then, we admit both the claim of the pure Spirit to manifest in us its absolute freedom and the claim of universal Matter to be the mold and condition of our manifestation, we have to find a truth that can entirely reconcile these antagonists and can give to both their due portion in Life and their due justification in Thought, amercing neither of its rights, denying in neither the sovereign truth from which even its errors, even the exclusiveness of its exaggerations draw so constant a strength🤔 (pg. 29)

Life is the means through which matter begins to aspire and seek, however vaguely towards the Spirit. Life is also the energy needed for anything, for the sadhana as well as…
