AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Ask Alok da

alokda

How can I develop genuine humility instead of forced politeness? How can I stop absorbing others’ emotional states so intensely? How can I begin to see the other person also as a child of The Mother, especially when I have to continuously work under them and old reactions get triggered repeatedly? And how does one change these inner feelings sincerely rather than only controlling outer behaviour?🙇🙏💮

In any group it is important to know the reason or purpose about why one is joining the group. If it is simply with the

In YouTube I saw a video where tarot card reading was mentioned, out of curiosity I opened it, selected a pile intuitively and to my surprise few things that were told their were quite accurate. Firstly What exactly is tarot card reading and what purpose it serves, Is it a superstition? Did The Mother & Sri Aurobindo commented on this?🃏🔮🌙

May 11, 2026

The Mother has not mentioned anything directly about the Tarot card. But if we take the essence of Her writings in these matters it would

Should one continue to obtain fresh Blessing Flowers from the Ashram and immerse the old ones, or does the Mother’s power remain eternally present within all the old Blessing Flowers?🪷🌟🌌

May 11, 2026

Negative or hostile forces can be anywhere. They were there near The Mother to try and hurt Her. They came and fractured Sri Aurobindo’s leg

I have had a ‘cold’ heart for many years, feeling no emotion. Can my psychosis, social ill-treatment, and prolonged suffering be a reason for this ‘coldness’?💙🥶🥀

May 11, 2026

Yes, real or perceived suffering can lead to hurt emotions and subsequent withdrawal creating inner aloofness as a defense. Its cure is love for God

I wanted to seek your guidance regarding something that has been confusing me inwardly. My confusion is: in this situation, what should be my right attitude? Should I ask the Mother for success and surrender the outcome with faith, or should I simply act and leave everything entirely to her will without expectation?🚀🌳💧

May 11, 2026

There is nothing wrong in seeking success in any given endeavour. One does work with the idea that it should go well. And hence one

Could you kindly advise me on how to hold both Guru Nanak and the Mother in my heart? Maafi in advance if I haven’t framed this question perfectly, but I am seeking guidance on how to honor both paths.🌸☀️🤍

May 11, 2026

I understand the dilemma. Its answer will depend upon the aim of your life, the purpose of the yoga. Once you are clear about that,

Alok Da, I have been involved with a married man who has a child. For three years, he has promised to leave his wife, but it has become clear that he has no intention of doing so. Now, he says he will marry me legally but also wants to continue his past life. I am becoming very insecure; what is the right thing to do in this situation?💔⚖️😪

May 11, 2026

It is not about right and wrong. It is simply this fact that no one can leave a child behind and get remarried to someone

Would reciting the Ramcharitmanas and the Gita be helpful for a practitioner of Integral Yoga? Furthermore, is it considered necessary for the centers of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to recite these ancient scriptures?📜📖🪔

May 11, 2026

Each one is free to do with what they want individually but as far the Centre is concerned, it should be dedicated to Reading, studying

Can we dive deeper? What is the nature of the start and the repetition—and why does it seem we never reach the end?♾️🌊⚓

May 11, 2026

Diving deep is not as simple. It takes years of persistent practice unless a rare soul that has done its homework of purification in the

Regarding the Mother’s prayer dated July 21, 1914: Dear Alok Bhai, is the experience she describes related to the awakening of the Kundalini, or is it something distinct—perhaps a far higher or more expansive experience?🐍🔥☀️

May 11, 2026

Even a quick reading would reveal that the experience is much more. The Mother already had the experience of Kundalini before meeting Sri Aurobindo after

For instance, if an individual passed away in 2020 and a child was born in 2010, is it conceivable—under any circumstances—that the psychic entity of the person who departed in 2020 could enter that child? Could the entity choose that specific body for the continuation of its journey, regardless of the timing? Furthermore, at what point in time does a psychic entity typically enter a child?⌛🔁🛞

May 11, 2026

As far as possibility is concerned, well everything is possible. But it would be rarest of rare instances as it doesn’t serve any purpose. What

I recently read that the psychic being carries impressions from birth to birth, acting like a silver thread that connects several lifetimes. In contrast, the soul is considered eternal—an essential part of the Brahman. Could you help me understand the distinction between these two concepts more clearly?👣🌟🪡

May 11, 2026

We can understand it through a very simple analogy. If we take the creation as the progressive manifestation of the Divine then each soul is

With the rapid evolution taking place in India, is it safe to keep my savings in Indian mutual funds for the long term? Given how quickly things are changing, is there a risk that the mutual fund industry might collapse or be significantly disrupted? I am asking because traditional options like fixed deposits often fail to keep pace with inflation.📈🌱⚡

May 11, 2026

Mutual funds are the safest investment still. Generally they take care of market volatility. Of course as far as the future is concerned, it is

Could you give us some clues about playing with the Divine?✨🕊️😇

May 11, 2026

We can look upon this world as a play of the Divine, lila, as it is called. It is a play wherein the human soul

If we keep producing at the current rate, we will destroy Nature; Maximum is already done. But if we stop Production, then People will lose Jobs. What’s the correct solution to this loop?👨🏼‍💼🌐👩🏼‍💼🍃🌼

May 11, 2026

In the Age that is dawning the means of production and the objects being produced are bound to change. It is this change of the

Is it wise to switch from BCom to an MA and PhD in English to pursue a Teaching career, following one’s Heart’s call over the corporate world, and what specific books or practical steps beyond the syllabus can help build the necessary command of the subject before the March entrance exam? 📚✍️🎓🌟

May 11, 2026

It is a good decision and in keeping with your nature and temperament. Read Sri Aurobindo, read other good writers in English, speak in English

If most of our Thoughts come from other planes of existence, then what kind of Thoughts originate in our Brain? What are the limitations of Psychology as a domain of Science? 🧠🤔💭🌻✨

May 11, 2026

The brain does not produce or create any thoughts just as a computer does not produce or create any writing. In fact, the brain, and

What is the spiritual meaning of a dream where one is handed a talking infant who reveals past and future truths, only to realize the child belongs to a cousin while the dreamer’s own infant self is being hidden away? 🤰👶🔮✨

May 11, 2026

The dream seems to be stemming from some subconscious desires and fears in the past related to parents which continues to linger in the present
