AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

Actually I get conflicted. Sometimes I’m thinking of Krishna 🦚and talking to him and sometimes to mother. Now that I’m remembering Mother more and more. I feel like I’m moving away from Krishna. How do I overcome this puzzling situation. When I sit to meditate I get confused about whom to imagine. So I end up with both of them together. Is it fine or I’m too much stuck in ignorance and all. I keep a small Krishna in my pocket always and talk sometimes and you told me before to take Krishna everywhere with me like a living being and I forget to buy when I remember sometimes I think of him in my chest like he is watching from there and talk to him. I’m definitely not fully sincere, I feel like I’m making simple stuff more difficult and getting stuck in mental thoughts. What can I do Da?

Of course, there is a sort of labour and effort when you try to produce or else to think on a certain subject, but that is a concentration for making thoughts come up, come in, come down, as the case may be, and fit themselves together. The idea that you are shaping the thoughts or fitting them together is an egoistic delusion. They are doing it themselves, or Nature is doing it for you, only under a certain compulsion;’🤔

What is infrarational in Sri Aurobindo’s terminology? In our today’s society, what are the infrarational elements? The new-age movement seems to have absorbed some spiritual intuitions but their expression is distorted. Are these infrarational in some way🤔? What’s the best solution to develop in the upward route from an infrarational position? I work in a scientific research background and a lot of confusions arise from within science itself and how most scientists/researchers explore the reality. The scientific method itself seems to have been diluted and an approval of masses are enough to establish the status quo. It’s not the same everywhere, but it is hard to fight this tendency in the current times.

Infrarational is primarily the vital animal, the physical and sense driven as well as the entire subconscious life of man. It also includes those elements
