AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Spirituality

Lately whenever I read from the works of Mother and Sri Aurobindo, I understand that the writings reveals the truth to me. But if somehow, I speak with people who have a different set of ideals and values on the subject, sometimes contradictory, I feel that they might still be seeing only a part of the truth. Because of what I feel, I sometimes say to them to understand Mother and Sri Aurobindo or atleast, wish it within myself. I do not believe that the whole truth has revealed itself to me yet, and I also read the sentences, “When a thing is true, you can be sure that it’s opposite is also true””It (the truth) will manifest itself for those who are sincere and attentive” So, is my feeling and wish (as I mentioned above) coming from my ego? Or is it an egoistic desire? What should I then feel, except to keep walking with the Mother and Sri Aurobindo towards the union🙂?

Yes even the greatest and vastest Truth is limited by the human mind into a one-sided formula. Hence the opposite is also true. What is

My question is in which of her forms we worship her😇? Because all her popular forms like Durga, Kali, Gauri, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Gayatri/Savitri, Lalita Tripurasundari, Annapurna etc represent her specific and limited powers. Is there any form that, according to you, truly represents all her power and glory or at least three of her basic powers of Knowledge, Prosperity & Strength combined in one form?

Forms necessarily implies a limitation. Each form is like a channel that canalises the Original Power with a certain specific purpose. As to the highest

I understand that after our physical death we shed our vital and our psychic goes back to its world and then takes a new birth when it decides to do so. My question, when the Psychic takes a new birth does it take back the same vital that it shed during previous birth. I understand that after our physical death we shed our vital and our psychic goes back to its world and then takes a new birth when it decides to do so 🤔?

When the Psychic Being returns back in a new body it also develops a new vital and mental sheath commensurate with its development through the

Most of our scriptures (except Gita & Upanishads etc) are full of different types of ritual, vrata & sadhana methods and various forms of worship. In southern parts these are more prominent. I can see most of us are following these rituals without understanding its core purpose. Please explain why so much importance is given to them in our Shastras 🤔?

As you yourself said the main shashtras do not give importance to these rituals. Besides their importance was always relative to the real elements of

Why should we take efforts to attain the soul? When the soul itself creates the world by covering itself with ignorance, then it must want to enjoy the world. By trying to attain the soul, don’t we disturb its purpose? Instead, we should enjoy our life accepting whatever situation we are in and keep embellishing it with the aptitude and qualities we have been given by Mother Nature (Prakriti). Is it not true that if at all the search for the soul is necessary then Prakriti itself will inspire us🙄?

But who said that the soul created ignorance and wants to enjoy it? That is an erroneous conclusion and false premise. For a moment let

Gita seems to conclude that the world is a bondage. It gives in Chapter 2, Shloka 51 जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ता: (freed from the bondage of birth) as the final goal मनीषिण: (the sages). But Sri Krishna also shows Arjuna how to live like a Jivanmukta through the highest formula of surrender. I am not sure if I have understood it well but do you think the message here is ‘apparently’ contradictory – that life is ultimately a bondage and that one can also live freely😌?

That is the other side of the human evolutionary journey through the adventure of Time and Space that Sri Krishna points out when he speaks

All are not same in the power and effect. If it were so then the Divine would not assume different names and forms simply to cater to the different needs of different individuals depending upon each one’s stage of evolution.” Does it mean we have to invoke different deities for different powers? Is there any specific form of The Divine Mother 😇 which can bestow all virtues?

The Divine Mother is the original Power, Adya Shakti. If we invoke Her then She does what is needed, gives or takes away whatever is
