AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

alokda

There are four very great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindavan and the colloquy with Arjuna on the field of Kurukshetra. The siege of Troy created Hellas, the exile in Brindavan created devotional religion (for before there was only meditation and worship), Christ from his cross humanised Europe, the colloquy at Kurukshetra will yet liberate humanity. Yet it is said that none of these four events ever happened. Can you please explain this, The Mother has explained it but did not understand the whole thing and how they are connectedšŸ¤”?Ā 

Hellas is the name given to Greece given by the Greeks themselves. The name has been given after Helen who, much like Draupadi, became instrumental

I have this thing where I am good at holding conversation, I can talk to people if required. For example to friends, family, professional settings. But I feel silence communicates so much more. I feel talking is fine if the other person requires it, but I feel mutual silence or atleast my silence/quietude is able to express and convey so much more than outward speaking. Does this hold truth? Obviously I donā€™t want to be a monk and not speak, but I just feel people are missing out big time on the peace and grandiosity of expression through mute conversation or at-least limited conversation. Is this even possible or is it just in my own head? I feel like Iā€™m just conversing due to the other personā€™s inability to understand my lack of wordsā€¦so I just do it to make sure they feel cared about. But, personally, I feel conversation definitely has its own purpose and utility, but majority of the time itā€™s a useless means for people trying to find a way to show friendship, affection, and a means of reassuring the other person of their careā€¦thoughtsšŸ™ƒ?

In complete agreement with you. Though the faculty of speech is the highest so far, it is an evolutionary gift to mankind. Its purpose is

Where is the place of the Pitru Lok? Is it the Prana Lok or the Manomaya Lok? How long do the ancestors reside there? Do they remain in forms similar to how they were on the physical plane, related to their families? Is it possible for those who go later to attain liberation before the ancestors who have been there for a longer timešŸ¤”?

Pitru loka is located in the vital world. It contains three kinds of beings. Those who are beings proper to the domain and take care

What I explored today when there were scoundrels harassing us in a park, that while focusing on getting Gyaan, I have ignored Shakti.Ā I don’t have courage. I should have turned that man upside down.Ā And is not the Mother’s protection with me? Then why didnā€™t I have any urge to fight anyone. I ignored those rascals without getting disturbed. But Why? They deserved to be beaten up. Understand my points please and Guide mešŸ˜¬.

As to Shakti, I agree. We have become too much seekers after philosophical knowledge and too much of emotional bhaktas. Both these things are no

I remember you saying in one of the talks that Shiva is Prajnya. However in many places Sri Aurobindo mentions Shiva as the Tapas-Force aspect of the divine. How would you integrate these two aspects in Shiva? Please explain Prajnya & Tapas in detail for better understanding. Also how can we relate prajnya and tapas with Shiva’s consort ParvatišŸ¤”?

These are two different but interconnected systems. In the image of the Upanishad, Brahman is fourfold, Virat is material existence with Brahma as the Godhead.

From the 19th century onwards here is this perception that kala purusha invaded the world like never before, right from railways and airplanes shortening distances of the entire globe, static paintings or camera pictures being replaced by moving images like cinema, being able to send messages across continents in micro seconds, one big historical event is immediately faded out into memory by the other one, no solidified identity in terms of occupation or even nation is possible, novels and films with non linear storytelling have erupted, theories about time in physics and studies of evolution in biology, and disciplines like geology etc.. are all deeply intertwined with time flux, there’s a sentence that “everything solid melts into air” in this modern time-era, and with social media humanity is living moment to moment in it’s lowest type, Sri Aurobindo also wrote a piece on kala purusha, How to understand this phenomenon in both it’s good and bad aspectsšŸ˜„?

What we are witnessing is an accelerated evolution at an unprecedented pace. It happens when the Spirit of Time, Kalpurusha, is turning a new page.

I had a dream few days back, I was at this beautiful place it was so fresh, trees were red yellow glimmering and snow was there and there was so much peace and then suddenly a place got filled with rowdy crowd and they started waving red triangular type flags and called then selves mujahideen, I was not at all afraid as i looked at everything as a witness as if I knew the ending of the story, then later I had a lover who was caught as one of them and he was shot dead, even then I was not shocked and was at peace. People asked me how I was and told them that he is gone but itā€™s new start for him and that end of a tragic life, can you explain me this dreamšŸ˜¬?

The calm, peaceful place is the inner being closer to the soul. The red flags and IM are symbols of adverse forces trying to invade

About Mataji’s experiments on her cells, I am trying to say something, but it is not very clear in my mind. It’s almost like it is right there, but I am not reaching it yet. I actually want to go back to a Soul and the Psychic Being. In a booklet called a Psychic Being, its a question and answer booklet, where The Mataji says on page 103.The Soul and Psychic Being are not exactly same thing.. The Soul is the Divine spark, and the Psychic Being is formed progressively until the time comes when Psychic Being fully formed and awakened becomes conscious sheath around the Soul around which it is formed, and thus identifies with the Divine. So, right now it is the Psychic being who is keeping an account of my activities in this lifetime, and after death the Psychic Being will decide (so to speak) what needs to be retained for future and what to be discardedšŸ¤”?

Mind is part of Nature, the soul is part of the Divine. At first the soul develops in the womb of nature. When developed and
