AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

 Connecting 🛜 with the infinite… but how?

By going beyond the Mind and the ego-self which are the main cause of our limitation. 

The Infinite is not something elsewhere. It is everywhere and in everything including the finite-seeming atom. The sense of the finite is created by a special concentration of the Infinite into form and name. 

By stepping back from form and name and turning our consciousness upwards and inwards through a reverse concentration so to say, slowly the magic circle of Nature that limits the Infinite to form and name begins to breach somewhere and then at some indefinable moment, the Grace opens the door and we emerge into the infinity that surrounds everything.

She already had her identification with the Divine Mother, the Mother of the gods. That had happened already in 1914 as you will see in Her prayers of September 1914. Sri Aurobindo had also recognised it long back. It was because of this identification that She could bring down the gods in the Ashram atmosphere and in the consciousness of the disciples. It was due to her tapasya that Sri krishna accepted to bind himself with Sri Aurobindo’s being.

Yes I understand that. There is a difficulty with the Indian mind also because we are accustomed to a certain spiritual outlook that often misses many intermediary links that connect the spiritual and the material. 

These links serve as various roads and bridges or else as roadblocks, obstacles to our spiritual journey. In simple words our nature, meaning thereby our thoughts, feelings, impulses, motives, passions, desires, the entire range…
