AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please share Basics of developing self-understanding🤔.

To develop self understanding with regard to the subject of study.

  1. First read through with a quiet concentrated mind.
  2. Read it again now with pauses to understand each passage paying attention to details.
  3. Find the links between passages to get a more comprehensive understanding.
  4. Read from different sources to understand from different angles.
  5. Form a gist of the essence in the mind.

The key is concentration and going deeper into the subject.

To understand oneself or if the subject is oneself, take at careful and sincere look at oneself, the motives of our action, the strengths and weaknesses, the pattern of thoughts and feelings and the why of one’s action.

The key is on discovering the motives of our actions.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In the last chapter of Mind of Cells and Agenda, it is written how the Mother had given instructions that her body would be transformed and to wait and not disturb it when it may physically seem she has left it. Then why did people not follow her instructions? Nolini da, Amrit da and others must be intuitively linked with the Mother, so why did they not intervene? 📕🙄🙏🏻🌼🍂

I have actually given a couple of talks on this question that people raise based on Satprem’s personal comments in the Agenda which are often taken as gospel truth. No doubt Satprem has done an admirable job in printing the Agenda but we should not forget that The Mother herself did not want the entire Agenda to be published! In fact She mentions at a few places that we better not publish it. But Satprem went ahead and published it! That gives us a little hint about his rebel personality that saw everything from purely personal point of view and …
