AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

There’s constant thirst for reading  all kinds of spiritual books. Anything right from SriAurobindo, Bhagavadam, Ramayanam to Bible, etc. Though I want to stick on only to the practice of  spirituality as instructed and initiated by my Guru, I am  forcefully pulled up by different books. Even to, Savitri, I can’t stick on. How to come out of this great attraction for  unnecessary reading? Or is it helpful to me in my search after Truth? Till now no benefit, I found except some happy time pass📜✨📖🕉️

It is not time pass. Rather it indicates a thirst for knowledge which is a good thing. Of course it can be confusing sometimes if

My mother has a little request for you. She was asking if you could one day give a talk on parenting. Nowadays she sees many newer generation parents who are unable to handle their children. They are not strict and firm, even when they need to be. Some parents completely neglect the child and give the excuse of making them ‘independent’. As a result, the children don’t learn how to manage themselves properly. Unfortunately, some of them fall into the hands of the wrong company and take a dangerous route (drugs, etc). If you could give a little talk on this topic, that would be greatly appreciated. 🧑‍🍼🌱🏡🤹❤️

Actually there are a number of talks on auromaa on the issue of parenting possibly under the subject of Education. There is also one on

Alok da I’ve been initiated by a master. However for the last 2 years have been reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and am deeply attracted to their philosophy and yoga . In general yogic parlance its considered a big detriment to leave one path and follow another. Another common teaching is that the mantra or japa must always be given by a guru. I’ve been using the name of Sri Aurobindo and Mother as mantra now ; never having seen or accepted by them in the traditional method, kindly guide.🩵🌸♾️🪷🌌

The general advice of staying with one guru and the path he has shown is to prevent the seeker from falling into the trap of

Forgive my impertinence, but I don’t see many mentions of the kinds of powers/abilities/states/ stages that the sustained practice of Integral Yoga unlocks, as confirmed in the experience of the practioners. You would excuse me, because I have been really hard pressed to find such admissions. I do understand the principle of not gracelessly publishing feats or meaningful realizations, given they are full of distractive sounds and fury for the ego.. But still I would like to know, because I am looking at it with the wonder of a child who just wants some news of his Home to which he has promised himself to journey through perils, stagnation and frustration.🌌➡️🪷🌍

As mentioned above, you have not dug deep enough which is understandable given the enormous wealth of his vast and all-comprehensive literature. If you want

I read in AuroMaa, ‘It is given to man as a unique privilege to share His kingdom and His delight, not by indulging in but rather by renouncing pleasure.’ Kindly explain what is expected of us as part of ‘renouncing pleasure’. Does it mean we don’t take joy or pleasure in any activity? How do we fulfil this condition?🙌☀️✨🥰

Pleasure, joy and delight are three steps to the recovery of greater and greater degrees of Bliss that has gone into the origin of creation.

Dada, these days two different situations are developing within me. On one hand, sometimes worldly matters attract me, and sometimes they irritate me. But one thing I am experiencing is that if anyone uses a mobile phone nearby, it causes me great irritation and I feel like going somewhere quiet and alone. On the other hand, I start getting emotional about everything.🧘‍♂️⚖️🏔️✨

It is a stage through which every aspirant passes through. The old world begins to lose its shine though something is still attracted by force
