AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can two people have the same Spiritual Path? Also, for a true Male-Female Relationship based on Psychic and Spiritual values, does it require that the Spiritual Path should be the same? This is in reference to a text I read: Motherโ€™s letter of March 1933 [CWM 14: 291]* ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Yes, why not? Two people can have the same spiritual path, as we see in the stories of Rishis and their partners. But then those days, there was no such mushrooming of sects and religions as we find today. So now, if one has to replicate that model, it has to be on the basis of the One Divine Presence in all and a love rooted in the Soul. It is not easy, but it can be and has been done.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I have been taking antipsychotics for the last 15.5 years (olanzapine 15 mg every night). The issue is – I feel a bad mood and irritation for 4-6 hours after getting up from sleep every day. Is it happening because of my psychosis condition, dear Alok da? ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿฆ‹โœจ

Yes, it is due to an instability in nature. Psychosis itself is the result of this instability that arises because the consciousness has got centered around the little ego and perceives everything from that point of view.ย Learn to step back and do not accept every thought and suggestion or flow with every feeling as if it is true.

Reading all the writings, all the answers to my seekings, there remains a gap, a feeling of being unanswered.ย My inner call says that I can’t know anything fully while staying in the same dimension; there is a higher level or dimension than my present one, or maybe many of them, and only when I reach there, my quest will end. ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒ„โœจ

Yes, of course, reading and writing prepare the ground, they are not a replacement or substitute for direct experience which comes through the meeting of Aspiration and the Grace.ย

Jai Maa. Today I was reading the Two Natures chapter from Essays on the Gita and there Sri Aurobindo explains that the desire in consonance with dharma does not lead to any bondage, while there he also mentions that desire born of Rajogun leads to bondage and misery. ๐Ÿ“–โœ’๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒป[…]
