AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Spirituality

I heard in your talks that the psychic being, after physical death on earth, and shedding off the vital and mental sheaths, goes to the psychic world, where it is put to psychic sleep by the world Mother. Kindly tell me if that sleep is unconscious, semi-conscious, or fully conscious for the psychic being🌟? And also, is that sleep Blissful for the psychic being?

It is a blissful state of peaceful unconsciousness, a deep sleep from which you wake up forgetting all the past except what is bare essential.

Dear Alok da, what is ‘seeing’ the Divine☀️ everywhere and in everything? Especially when we are not yet equipped.To experience or realize it, as a first step, how to practice the idea consciously? Is it like remembering that Mother is in all and trying not to think or feel about something or someone as high or low?

Seeing here means a mental seeing through thought, imagination and idea that the Mother is everywhere, in everyone and everything. Later, as this idea grows

How to know one has realised the Divine? Is it based on any sign or experience? I feel a constant pressure inside my heart and it gives an aspiration, peace and devotion towards the divine. On the other hand the surface nature constantly act by the negative movement. This reason sometime that pressure is vanished. How much time the body will act on the surface nature? It is very unnerving stage for me. The sexual thought, ambition, laziness, repeating the mistake etc spontaneously arises and act upon the body and mind. In this stage what should I do😥? Please show me the right direction.

The deeper one goes into the soul, the more these negative tendencies open up in the surface nature. Everyone has to pass through it with

“The Rishis were scientists of the Spirit and its occult energies and powers and had discovered the ways to come in contact with these forces and seek their active help to make earthly life better in every way.” This is a sentence from one of your answers on 27-10-2024. Can you please elaborate more on those “ways” discovered by our rishis? Were you referring to different types of Yagnas, Mantras, Tantra pooja rituals and Yoga practices🤔?

he poojas, havans, mantras and rituals are the most outwards and not indispensable means. The real means are inner which includes a one-pointed Godward aspiration

Saint Paul and Early Christian converts in Rome literally believed the second coming of Christ and the apocalyptic judgement was going to happen in their own life times, when someone asked Paul about marriage he said why bother with these earthly things when the cleansing fire of apocalypse and new creation is just on the edge and this belief continued up until the 4th-5th centuries and slowly the disillusionment started coming in with occasional outbursts of prophecies throughout medieval Europe and gradually it just became a scriptural literary allusion. What’s the prospects that the whole supramental creation you talk about suffer the same fate🤨?

As far as the second coming of Christ or of the Buddha, and Sri Krishna himself is concerned (all have said it one way or

Could you please explain the concept of “Tri Sandhya or Sandhyavandanam” of Gayatri given in scriptures? The mata is worshipped daily three times in the Morning, Afternoon & Evening in three different forms – Brahmani/Saraswati, Vaishnavi/Lakshmi & Rudrani-Shabhavi/Kali-Durga respectively. On the basis of this, can we consider Mother Gayatri or Savitri as one of the complete forms of Adyashakti for her worship🤔?

The three times sandhya vandana recommended for worship relates to the movement of the earth around the sun. Each phase is symbolic of the cosmic

In the Old Yogas, Yogins have confirmed to have Self Realisation or realization of Jivatma. But according to my understanding from Sri Aurobindo’s writings, Jivatma is the Vigyanamaya Purusha whose abode is Supermind. But since non of the realizations from Old Yogas had reached the Supramental Consciousness, then how we can say that they have realized the Jivatman which is also the goal of Vedantic realization🤔?

The origin of Jivatman is in the Supermind but a portion of it descends in the adventure of Time and Space as the psychic essence

In the light of Gita’s concept of tyaga and sanyasa, can we look at Buddha’s spiritual actions as an example of sanyasa, external renunciation? Because he gave up on kingdom and family to be able to pursue Truth. Then again, from what I have read of Buddha’s words himself, he did not pay much attention to external fanfare. He told the monks ‘You can put on the robe in fifteens minutes but learning true monkhood will take you lifetimes of effort as one needs to have a pure mind first.’ This looks like he emphasised more on tayra 🤨. I was wondering how you look at this.

I never felt a sanyasi in the Buddha just as I never felt a sanyasi in Sri Aurobindo leaving behind everything as he sailed to
