AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“But there are other worlds where the Manifestation is simultaneous and not successive.” what does this mean🤔?

She is referring here to the Supramental Worlds. Successive manifestations imply Time and Space.

Sweet Mother, can one go out of Time and Space? If one goes out of the manifestation.

Out of this lower manifestation, the triple world of Mind, Life and Body. But there are other manifestation that is eternal and not subject to decay and destruction. And of course one can go beyond all manifestation into the Unmanifest and further into That which exceeds both.

My question – As Supramental world and Satchidananda worlds above are beyond Time and Space, are they out of Manifestation (as per statement 2)? But, statement 1 seems to imply that the Supramental world and Satchidananda worlds are within Manifestation. How can we understand both statements 1 and 2 together?

s i noted above there is eternal manifestation as well as temporal. This diagram of Sri Aurobindo may help.

Supreme Self-Contained Absolute

First Absolute—    Tat. The Absolute Transcendent, the Supreme, Paratpara, (containing all, limited by nothing).

Second Absolute—Sat. The supreme self-contained absolute Existence, Sachchidananda, (Ananda uniting Sat & Chit), holding in its absolute unity the dual Principle (He & She, Sa and Sâ) and the fourfold Principle, OM with its four states as one.

Third Absolute—    Aditi – M [the Mother]. Aditi is the indivisible consciousness force and Ananda of the Supreme; M, its living dynamis, the supreme Love, Wisdom, Power. Adya-Shakti of the Tantra = Parabrahman

Fourth Absolute—Parameswara of the Gita = Parameswari of the Tantra

The Manifestation

I

First Absolute—    The concealed Avyakta Supreme, self-involved Sachchidananda, Parabrahman (Parameswaraiswari)

Second Absolute—Aditi-M. containing in herself the Supreme. The Divine Consciousness, Force, Ananda upholding all the universes—Para Shakti, Para Prakriti, Mahamaya (yayedam dhâryate jagat).

Third Absolute—    The Eternal Manifestation (The supreme Satya Loka, Chaitanyaloka, Tapoloka, Ananda-loka-not those of the mental series.)

II

The Manifestation in Eternal Time

Affectionately,

My question is, Gita says: “It is better to do one’s own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma, even though perfectly.” – How does it apply on a daily basis to us internally and our interactions in life? 📙😊🙏🏻🌸

It means that it is better to live according to your own inmost impulsion of truth, even if it brings outer failure, than to achieve success by following a way of life that is not in tune with your own inmost truth, even if it brings success. ..

I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime. I am not speaking merely of physical things. All the inner things that I am giving you all the time, all the strength, light, energy and life that are being poured into you all the time, are meant for the service of the Divine, for the sake of transforming you. If you use them for any other purpose, you are a robber and your crime is the worst possible.” ~ The Mother (CWM 13:183)

It means that all the capacities that we have, – physical, vital, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, should be offered at the Feet of the Divine for His Work and Service. Most of the time however we take these capacities to be …
