AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Spirituality

There is a flow of energy or power in the whole body “from the top of the head to the lower part of the soles of the feet” which sometimes moves in different parts of the body and sometimes the whole body becomes as light as cotton but then after some time darkness comes in and sometimes suddenly peace descends for a few moments but that peace cannot last for long. Is this energy flowing in the body the power of the Mother itself?? Wherever it goes, should we take our attention along with it or should we keep on chanting the name and keep the concentration above??⚡🔋✨🔥🚀

Yes it is the working of the Mother’s Force through the Prana. Yes if one should open these parts to the Mother by bringing the

When a seeker asked Gurudev about himself and his yoga, I am writing Gurudev’s answers below, which are available on his official website. When a seeker has been following this path for many years, and the Guru himself has promised to fulfill his desire, then suddenly Shri Maa appears from the other side, can you imagine what I must be going through inside?✍️🧘✉️🪷

I can fully understand. As for bhram (delusion due to Maya) can afflict anyone. Even the gods of the Overmind and demigod such as Narad

There’s constant thirst for reading  all kinds of spiritual books. Anything right from SriAurobindo, Bhagavadam, Ramayanam to Bible, etc. Though I want to stick on only to the practice of  spirituality as instructed and initiated by my Guru, I am  forcefully pulled up by different books. Even to, Savitri, I can’t stick on. How to come out of this great attraction for  unnecessary reading? Or is it helpful to me in my search after Truth? Till now no benefit, I found except some happy time pass📜✨📖🕉️

It is not time pass. Rather it indicates a thirst for knowledge which is a good thing. Of course it can be confusing sometimes if

Alok da I’ve been initiated by a master. However for the last 2 years have been reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and am deeply attracted to their philosophy and yoga . In general yogic parlance its considered a big detriment to leave one path and follow another. Another common teaching is that the mantra or japa must always be given by a guru. I’ve been using the name of Sri Aurobindo and Mother as mantra now ; never having seen or accepted by them in the traditional method, kindly guide.🩵🌸♾️🪷🌌

The general advice of staying with one guru and the path he has shown is to prevent the seeker from falling into the trap of

If someone suffers from dementia and then dies, does their mental consciousness not have a chance to be integrated into their psychic being? Secondly, would they be stripped of the ability to have a conscious death, once they pass from the body into the different sheaths before entering into the soul realm? What is death like for someone with dementia?💜🧠✨🍂⏳

Conscious death and integrating the mind with the psychic being are rare even for those whose mental faculties are intact during death.

Dementia however

Sachidanand manifesting  as Superman without any adulteration, is making the sky manifest in forms without division by  matter of any form. If sky Or ocean has  to  manifest, in forms, then all 24 Thatwas should be the sky Or Ocean? So The Sachidanand manifesting as Superman should manifest itself in all 24 Thatwas without adulteration. Specially, Mind, Life and also body. That transformation only is going on now by The Mother. Am I right?🌌🌊🌤️☁️💙

Yes understood. Each element of creation has to undergo the transformation/modification in the coming of the Superman.

I’m writing about several things that are happening to me in both of these situations. If you want to explain, please answer each one separately. I close my eyes and can’t sleep. A reel of Sri Maa is playing on my mobile phone. While I sleep, sometimes the Mother appears before my eyes, appearing as light within me. On one hand, I remember Guru Maa, who loves me like her own child, and on the other hand, I feel a sense of peace and joy when I look at the picture of Sri Maa. How should I deal with this situation, Dada?🌸🪷☀️🌙♾️

Guru is the giver of Light. How can moving from Light to Light be a deception. Whatever be the past of our outer personality, the

And Dada, by Ma, I mean Guruma, somewhere this thought was also bothering me. Dada, I am sure that Gurudev has come to complete the work of Sri Aurobindo. There is no doubt that Sri Aurobindo and Ma are incarnations and by taking refuge in them, the desire for transformation can be fulfilled. Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it openly like an elder brother.☀️🌌🪷🌸

Faith something very precious and one should always respect and guard it. At the same time it is important to respect and guard one’s aspiration
