AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

But what is the benefit we get? If we don’t know whether a soul exists within us or not. We have only listened from Geeta & from the Mother Sri Aurobindo about it. If we able to feel the sense of soul, then may be we act differently than lower animals. 🌱✨ […]

Another question we feel pain due to our mind also the nerve system. Then lower animals also feel pain but there is absent of mind in them, plants also feel pain. By which force we are driven(present of soul) & by which force lower species are driven(absent of soul).

 Then what extra thing happened by the soul entry only to the higher beings. Yes I may agree some comfortable life has lead, but it’s the work of intellectual mind ( not soul). What is the help from the side of soul to the higher species to lead a heavenly life in this earth?

Benefit?? Leaving aside the soul for a moment, are you really not able to see the difference between an animal and man except for the ability to get some extra comfort? In fact, getting extra comfort is a disadvantage and not any great advancement over the animal. The real difference that the growing pressure of the psychic presence in human beings is first, the evolution of buddhi, the discerning intellect that can choose between truth, beauty, good and its opposite: falsehood, ugliness, evil. Second it has led to the evolution of certain beautiful psychic qualities that are the direct result of the psychic presence in human life. These are gratitude, compassion, sympathy, kindness, true love, conscious sacrifice, courage, conscious aspiration towards God, abolition of the urge towards evil and belief in death. It is the psychic being that has played a great role in uplifting human thought and emotions towards the Divine, opened in him the refined capacity for music, poetry, art, turned his mind towards the sense of the All-beautiful, endowed man with the capacity to love in a true way. Most of all it has opened the doors to the Divine Presence and liberation, divine ecstasy, intuitive knowledge and wisdom, urge for progress and perfection. It is the psychic being that opens the mind to true knowledge, the heart to true love, life to the Divine Power and the body to the spirit of beauty and harmony that grants health and happiness. 

Of course the psychic presence does not lead to hitting a lottery or jackpot or gold. Nor does it necessarily help you become a king or a minister unless that be your true destiny. In fact it simply activates your true destiny and helps us in fulfilling it.

There are many more things that the psychic presence does. Only it is not in the habit of boasting and screaming its achievement. The psychic presence in fact makes even pain and suffering not only more bearable but can even convert it into a sweet forbearance. Yes, not many persons are yet open to the psychic development, thanks to the strong influence of materialism and Marxist communism. But that does not change the fact for those who have gone ahead in search of their soul and found it. In fact it is the influence and action of the soul that truly makes a human being what he is meant to be. Otherwise he is just another, a little more intelligent and a little less strong animal walking on two legs and without a tail. It is the soul that truly marks the transition from the animal and the brute to a human being with truly human qualities.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

This seems to be a wave of depression that is trying to catch you, partly because of the loneliness as you don’t seem to have a good friend to share your issues and troubles. Partly it is because of lack of clarity about a goal. Aimlessness often opens the doors to fears.

Thank you for your guidance. Through recent reflection, I realized my struggles stemmed from a lack of true sincerity—reacting from superficial judgments, unnecessary fear, and wavering faith rather than seeing things with humility and patience. 🌱🔥🌸🙏[…]

To recognize the insincerities is itself a great step forward towards sincerity. Most people, even in the Yoga or so they believe, are unable to see their own hidden insincerities. It is indeed a Grace and the sign of the true spiritual life growing in you.
