AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Alok da in The Mother with Letters on The Mother, under the chapter: Opening and Surrender to the Mother, and the sub paragraph: Real and Complete Surrender: Sri Aurobindo while speaking of progress in Sadhna through sincere, real and complete submission and surrender says, “It cannot be as long as you cherish vital attachment to family, child or anything or anybody else. If you are to do this Yoga, you must have only one desire and aspiration to receive the spiritual Truth and manifest it in all your thoughts, feelings, actions and nature. Isn’t it quite an impossible condition to begin with? 🤲🌸🙇🕊️

Giving up vital attachment is not such a big thing as we believe. All who seek for a higher ideal do that, let alone spiritual

Alok da, earlier it was very easy to see faults in others and feel angry about it and life was simple. Since sometime now, there has been a significant shift in this tendency. For every fault in others, there is a corresponding realisation of similar traits in myself. Also, while I am unable to control a lot of emotions like anger, jealousy, possessiveness and sometimes also hatered, but there is a simultaneous experience. As if there are 2 beings inside, something that quickly points out this mistake to the other part. I try to then surrender these tendencies to Mother and sometimes also write to Her. . Is there anything to be done about this?🎭🌓👥

This is great progress. It means that the inner being is becoming free from the clutch of outer nature and its habitual reactions. Keep turning

Sir as already mentioned I have only the Mother to cry when I have been through suffering. If a person in 50s have approached to marry me and I like some of his qualities and I am disliking others. I have taken wrong decision in the past by applying for Divorce and as I don’t wish to repeat it again by taking wrong decision; however unable to confirm if the Mother wants this man in my life or not, what should I do?💍 … 🤷‍♂️⬅️ 🧍 ➡️

While this is a decision that only you can take, I can only provide some general guidance in this matter.

First and foremost relationships

I again see a dream of Shri Krishna. In which a person gets down from a helicopter, he says something, then he moves ahead, then I see that he turns into Krishna, then I run behind him, maybe he was saying something to him, I don’t remember, then he turns back and looks at me and throws white Makhana and as soon as I pick up those Makhana, they turn into white pearls

Very beautiful vision. Sri Krishna has led you here and given you the seeds of lotus (makhana) giving you the assurance that one day the

I don’t seek to ask questions as asking questions feels kind of limiting something when there is river like flow of knowledge and peace, it’s just that in the span of few months, I lost my mother, and after that my girlfriend who seemed to be so perfect and loving to me, and asked to marry me and tell how perfect we were, and she too got married elsehwhere and now have a son. So the only thing which is making me move is the hope that in the end at least god will be there, when nothing else is left , but I sometimes feel what am I doing wrong that I’m not able to calm myself when I thought I was strong already and is there any steps I can take?🌊 🎒 😫⛏️

If you look at the events closely you will see that there is a Grace working to take you closer to your true destiny, –

Since my childhood through my Father I have been connected to Mother. I come to Pondicherry for Mother’s birthday for darshan day. Like you said I feel as if I am with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother very closely. After reading so many of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s book and putting into practice I still want more. Please elaborate whether we can feel the opening up or how and what is it one does in life to widen the opening?🪷🌌🌧️🌹

Opening comes through thinking of The Mother, remembering Her inwardly, reading Their books, serving Them, concentrating upon the Mother’s Presence in the heart, calling …

I have mental disease, I take one tablet every night. I want to do Mother’s Yoga. Is Buddhi Yoga and mental control possible for patient because my mind cannot cease to think and I fear a lot in every moment. Mother says fear is hostile force. I am egoistic person and I have vanity, and also get angry sometimes and I don’t talk much, I am very vulnerable and emotional. I know Mother and Sri Aurobindo helps everyone. Is it possible to do Mother’s Yoga for patient like me?🌀🧠🌫️🕸️

Everything is possible once the aspiration has awakened. Even if outer circumstances are averse and the inner nature not ready, yet we must follow the

 I had posted on trauma of abuse in my teenage days…and now everything is getting better especially psychologically ..I am there fr my children, myself still recovering..may be it’s a journey….Mother knows …I have handed over it to the Lord now too..the burden …Through my therapist I got to know that a tunnel is open of past life ..from where the entities have been coming etc..🧸 🩹 ✨

Police complaint hardly helps in family matters. You have to ensure that the child is never alone in his company and preferably is kept away

I was studying the Gita in the light of Sri Aurobindo, where he mentions that as per Sri Krishna first you have to realize the Self and continue to work in a Yogic spirit and then surrender to me with love. I am bit confused here that whether one should focus on realizing the Self and then move towards Sri Krishna as we see in the life of Sri Aurobindo that he first realized Nirvana which was followed by Vasudevam sarvam iti? Or to start with surrender to Sri Krishna from the very beginning itself even prior to Self realization? The second alternative looks to me more appropriate than the earlier one, but just want to have your thoughts about my thought process?🪈🪶🌅📖

Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo both confirm that by surrendering to the Divine one will surely realise the Self as well as the Divine Personality

For quite a few years I have been under significant financial pressure due to debt, and despite sincere effort and responsibility on my part, I feel stuck. This on going constraint has begun to affect my inner state and my approach to the Divine, and I wish to understand the right attitude a sadhak of Integral Yoga should hold in such circumstances.💸📉💨🙅‍♀️

There is a beautiful passage in Savitri which is quite illustrative of the attitude needed as we pass through the various challenges of life.

I read in Agenda 3 April 1962: “I am no more in my body. I have left the Lord to take care of it, if it is to have the Supramental or not. I know, and I have also said, that now is the last fight. If the purpose for which this body is alive is to be fulfilled, that is to say, the first steps towards the Supramental transformation, then it will continue today.”😇♾️☀️🌌

The first statement of the Mother about no more being in the body and the Religion in the name of Sri Aurobindo is on the

I am also The Mother’s child. When I was in my student life I came into the contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo due to my employer CA. Later I started going to the center and read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At present I am CA. In my early career I started teaching as profession but due to voice box issue I need to left. So I started with share market work but from last few months I am making losses. Recently I read The Mother’s literature where she say not to work in the field of Share Market. Now I don’t have enough client to even maintain my office expense. How should I earn to manage my livelihood? 📈💰💸

I am not sure why you did not continue keeping CA as your main profession and instead went into the Share Market as the mainstay
