AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Ask Alok da

Recently a devotee told me that until Mother is known, until we haven’t glimpsed the mother, until the Mother reveals herself as the Supreme to a seeker, yoga is not initiated in an individual. Hence, there is no yogic initiation, yoga hasn’t begun at all or rather it is a subconscious yoga. I would like to understand that clearly. What is subconscious and conscious yoga? [conti]👁️🧘🪷🕯️

Nobody can or aught to say whether somebody is on the path of Yoga or not. Nobody can know Her except what She Herself choses

Sir in one conversation you said that Sri Aurobindo Ashram is for higher evolution, What is that higher evolution referring to? Also what techniques or books or methods you use to heal yourself of ailments, depression and diseases? What should one inculcate or fix in daily routine as to live in tune with the universe?🧘🌳🪷☀️

May 22, 2026

By higher evolution is meant to make the Divine the centre of one’s life instead of the ego, to base one’s life and activities around

Can the psychic being change its field of work in the same life after developing to a certain extent? It seems like leaving something midway externally, but it takes a more challenging field that will also expedite the divine manifestation, or it may even be called to it. It just decides to do something else the next day and then the external changes follow. The old life falls away, the progress is integrated and a new life has started, everything in one lifetime. What is the purpose of this?🌱☀️💖🕯️

May 22, 2026

The psychic being is more concerned with changing one’s inner field of nature, of rectifying the attitudes so that one grows closer to the Divine.

Why some people despite of not performing their work gets result? And the results are sometimes overwhelming than others who are actually working towards it.💻✍️✨💼

May 22, 2026

I think you mean despite not putting much effort because if they don’t perform then there can be no result. Well it is a question

Please explain this dream, I was walking on a road, when a boy came and said – “Look up.” As soon as I looked up, the sky turned into a wonderful scene of deep blue. In that sky, Sri Krishna again appeared in his child form moving from one side to the other.🌜💭😴💤

Possibly a vision in the vital world.

Is Supramental is below Sacchidananda or Sa Chidananda is beyond Supramental?☀️🔽⚡💎🪷

May 22, 2026

The terms above and below do not apply for realms beyond Time and Space. The Supermind is the Omnipotence and Omniscience of the Supreme. It

Here too my thoughts on Gyana, Vigyana, Even in Bhagvat Gita, it’s expressed like this in several places, but not all 3 together in one sloka. This is my understanding:…🛞📜🐎🪈

May 22, 2026

Yes because what is generally understood (and rightly so) by Vigyana is the Divine Manifestation in the cosmos as it functions too. The Unmanifest that

What is the exact mechanism of the great sacrifice of Sri Aurobindo on 5th December 1950 and why it was needed?🦁➡️🧘☀️🪷

May 22, 2026

The sacrifice refered to with regard to Sri Aurobindo’s physical withdrawal is the renunciation of the realisation in his own body so that the collective

What’s the difference between Integral Yoga and Non-dualism of Vedanta?🌊🌍🕉️📜

May 22, 2026

Non-dualism or Adwaita simply implies that there is ‘One Reality without a second’. So far all spiritual teaching including Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga metaphysics agrees.

In the Gita, in this shloka, in second line Sri krishna says “Behold Arjuna the many wonderful things which no one has ever seen orheard before” So can we take these words ” Adrishta” and ” Ashcharya” for new creation also? 🪈🐎📜🛞

May 22, 2026

The New Creation is the Creation upon earth. It is not a typal self-existent Reality but a building up of that Reality here, upon earth,

Sir, how to build grace, faith and trust in the divine? Sir, what’s the difference between faith and trust? I believe when there is grace, faith and trust, our Sweet Mother’s work becomes easy. Sir, if we have faith, grace and trust in the Divine, how to sustain that, how to hold that?⚓🌱☀️🙏

May 22, 2026

Faith is to have the certitude beyond any doubt that the Divine exists. Trust is that one can depend upon the Divine. Both are needed.

One day I dreamt that I was with a friend from university on beach and suddenly big waves come and she gets hurt and I am also there and we weren’t scared just I look at water and see that a Tsunami like wave is coming. Then I had woken up.😴💤🌒💭

May 22, 2026

The tsunami waves from ocean are the world forces that are trying to drift you away. They are possibly attracted by your friends who are

Physicists speak of quantum entanglement — particles far apart, yet bound as one. The Rishis spoke of Ṛitam — the secret order of the cosmos. Is this entanglement a glimpse of that Ṛitam? How may the seeker move from knowing it as concept to realizing it as truth of Being?🧘🔬🧠✨🧬

May 22, 2026

Quantum entanglement, like morphic resonance is a reflection of the truth of interconnectedness of all the elements in creationon. The deeper reason for this is

What is explained by Gyana by Sri Krishna in Bhagwat Gita?☸️🪈🍃🦚

May 22, 2026

Gyana or Jnana is true knowledge or Self-knowledge. It means to know the true Divine Self. Vijnana is to know the extension and workings of

Dada, how to stop thinking? I mean, continuous thoughts are coming and going regarding useless things. Sri Aurobindo has said we have to watch thoughts and not attach any importance to them, but how should we do that? Or how to calm our minds and think about our Master’s only?🌊🌪️🤯🍃🧠

May 21, 2026

While stopping of thoughts completely is not an easy thing, it is very much possible to direct the flow consciously towards an object. Thus, you

How do I distinguish between True messages from Mother and things made from my mind?✨🪷🌸🤍🕊️

May 21, 2026

One needs a very quiet mind, a calm heart free from fear and desire to receive the true Guidance. The Mother has never advised journaling

Kindly let me know if the understanding below is incorrect: As SAT, CHIT, and ANANDA are the 3 aspects of PARABRAHMAN, meant for the manifestation in our universe, so are the infinite other aspects of PARABRAHMAN meant for the manifestation in many other universes. And that is how millions of universes, of different kinds, have been created by the Divine.🕉️🌌✨👁️

May 21, 2026

Sat, Chit-tapas, Ananda are the three principle aspects. All other aspects such as Peace, Wisdom, Knowledge, Compassion, Strength, Beauty, Harmony, Love are derived from these
