AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Spirituality

You mentioned “..spiritual aim, one has chosen..”. Could you please help me understand what does a spiritual aim mean? I read of works of the Motherย  and Sri Aurobindo, and I try to apply their teachings in my everyday life. Does that count as spiritual aim? Or am I following a spiritual life? Please clarify.๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ

I want to ask, that when we go through tough time, we say just be strong in this time it is a test. God is testing you and you will come out better at the other end. But, for me, this test is going on forever. I am trying so hard to be better and do all the right things and be strong but it has been 5 years same lonely, painful and empty phase is going on. I am so tired now that everything feels pointless. How do I keep myself going? Is there any point of keep going? Will this ever get better?๐Ÿง—๐Ÿงฑโ›ˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒช๏ธ

There is a part in me that always against anything good, so if I aspire to surrender, if I aspire for light or even when I have some physical discomfort, I pray for health or ask for peace it is always against it and counteracts the good part by remembering it’s exact opposite. And due to this I spiral down into fear of now what will happen if I am never able to get over this part. Can you please explain this to me? What is happening? And what should I do? Because this is leading to stress and a constant conflict and stretching within myself.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿช”๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ง

Sometimes, there is a joy bursting forth in daily life things – like the sunrise, rain, sky, a flower, warmth of the sun, smiles of others, happiness of others etc.. I feel it as the eternal sunshine, summer that is behind everything. It arises this question in me constantly, what’s there not to like in this life? It is much like an ocean of bliss in what we call normal life. It hits me randomly so many times. I feel it is a universal thing smiling in all things, nothing based on my actions. I wonder many times if this is what Albert Camus wrote, “in me there is an invincible summer”, or the famous Louis Amstrong song “what a wonderful world”. I don’t know what to call it. Just out of curiosity, what’s this feeling Alok da?๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŽถ

It is indeed a beautiful state, a glimpse of the Divine Presence immanent in all things. It is a special Grace through a door opening

Yesterday in one of the lecture (not from Auromaa), There was an explanation that, Bhagavan will take any number of forms. Whatever form the devotees seek, he will manifest in that form. Now my question is , In Gita it is said soul is unborn, it is not created nor it can be destroyed. So When Bhagavan manifested that form, What about the individuality? What about the soul?๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ›ž๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒŸ

When it is said that the soul is neither born nor dies it refers to the Self, the One Universal Self that is ever unchanging.
