AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, why cannot I remember lines of Savitri 🕊️? It’s not that I am making an effort to remember like we learn in school but when I think back and want to recollect now much can I recollect, if I read then I know the lines but don’t remember 

Read slowly, almost meditatively. Repeat few select lines from what you have read as part of your daily remembrance. Write the passages that touch you deep. Slowly the lines will start sinking in the inner being and spring up when needed.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da, At the very beggining of savitri Sri Aurobindo depicts this state of being where the self longed to reach it’s end in the vacant nought cos it fears to face the tardy process of life and mortality. Is this any similar to what western psychology calls the death drive, since life always has a certain state of friction and tension that there is a tendency within men to reach a tensionless state of inorganic matter? Is this also the cause of mass movements where one can dissolve their stress and effort of having an individuality? Many amusements men devise for themselves be it drinking,sex, entertainment seems to me connected to this phenomenon,how often people say that they go to movies cos they wanna be relieved of the “stress” of life. Is procrastination also related to this cos facing the thing that which needs to be done also triggers stress and tension so we just postpone the task indefinitely?

The other things you speak of are the action of unbridled rajas due to the life energy that is let loose and is unregulated. Mass movements are invariably due to the vital contagion that has a great sway over the mass…

I didn’t know that this had started in 2018. Strangely enough, from 2020 till last year, I was progressing well. Now, I am trying to stay positive and hold on to The Mother. However, what should we do when we are not aware of the psychic being? How can we act correctly? Is there a chance of realising the Psychic Being during the Hour of God? 😊🙏🏻🪷✨

The chances of realising the Divine are much higher during the Hour of God. It magnifies everything. One small mistake and the consequences can be disastrous. Equally, a little effort and one progresses by a leap. The Mother guides us: ‘Finally, I am fully convinced…

My deception, which I did for a good purpose (for saving integrity within the family), is revealed and I am bashed out like anything. I don’t complain here, but I realised whatever the purpose may be, a deception is a deception. The Mother helped me learn a great lesson here. Can you please explain? 😥👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🌹🦋

It is difficult to say anything as i do not know what exactly happened. Also it depends upon what you mean by conscious deception as well as the intent behind it. There is also deception done in good faith. The worst yet the …
