AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I hope you or someone gets this. The whole point of being more conscious and aware is very tiring and not easy. It leads to huge drawdown and “night” of the yoga. Still it feels like there is no other option as not being aware in our actions leads to lot of worldly “Thapede”. Still lot of resistance in taking up the part of being vigilant😶

Yes vigilance needs some effort and any effort can be tiring beyond a point. Besides points of resistances often remain hidden behind comfortable explanations and

Alok da, I was reading a book on teachings of the buddha and it’s supposedly preceding the highest state of nirvana that the monks will reach of state of being where all time with it’s circle of all the past and future as a whole will appear to him, this very much sounded like what you talk about the triple time/ supramental time vision. If so, wouldn’t have buddha glimpsed at the supramental purpose of creation and it’s coming but he still went along with establishing the goal as nirvana? I was perplexed because I remember somewhere that The Mother said that even the Buddha didn’t teach everything and he probably was either wantedly silent or hidden something🤔?

Triple Time Vision, trikaladrsti has been known to ancient yogis though it has been a rare acquisition. Vyas and Valmiki had it. Surely Sri Krishna

One can take sannyas or not , both are the same state, they are niskam and just going through their praraddha untouched and not multiplying their karma by getting into attachment , and both state in not in the hand of man. If someone act as vairaghi but it’s for unfulfilling desires it’s also an attachment and this type of vairagis just change the format of sansar and inviting tamogun or comfort zone🤔…

It is true that whether to be in the world or not in the world depends upon one’s unique individual temperament. But it is equally

I am practicing surrender in my day to day life to krishna bhagwaan. I try to surrender myself to him while doing any type kind of work during the day like be it office work or talking to someone over phone or personal meetings or even just being silent etc. After certain extent, my ego fights with it. It does not allow me to surrender further. It caused a little disbalance in my mind yesterday and it caused headache. I did not like it. Was i suppressing my self here in order to go selfless?? How should i counter this force to move ahead in surrendering? Should i remind myself of the true aspiration that I have to know my creator when such things happen🤨?

Yes, the reaction and revolt rises because certain parts of the vital have been just suppressed. The way is to become conscious of the inner

I have a question regarding the rejection of lower mental activities. Sri Aurobindo has written in The Mother book as following, “rejection of the mind’s ideas, opinions, preferences, habits, constructions, so that the true knowledge may find free room in a silent mind” What I have understood from above sentence is, for example if I have a Mayavadi point of view of looking at the world and now Sri Aurobindo is saying something higher than that, then I should drop my Mayavadi point of view and accept his vision of the world. Is this a right understanding🤔?

This is very true from the practice point of view, a path that I myself took. What it means however is not to remain shut
