AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada, the pain doesn’t stem from the fact that we aren’t together right now, or from wondering when we will be, or from a desire to satisfy my personal cravings through her company—though those thoughts might exist, they aren’t the source of my anguish. 🥲🌼🦋[…]

My only real pain comes from this: if our bond is so deep and we are destined to be together forever, why does she turn away from the truth of this love? She has her own personal phone, yet she shows no desire to talk. To be honest, I don’t worry about the logistics of when we’ll unite; I just wish she would say, “I don’t want the worldly life; I want to walk this path with you and serve your mother.” I simply want her to accept this truth and live by it honestly. If there is love on both sides, shouldn’t we at least be aligned with this truth? That is the sole cause of my sorrow; otherwise, mentally, I understand everything.

I understand your pain. But by now you should also understand that this idea of being together, walking upon the path together are all your ideas concealing the vital desires of a happy life of togetherness. They are not her truth, at least not yet. It is primarily a vital love, at least from her side, that remains and lasts only as long as the desires are fed. Otherwise it turns away towards other pastures, sooner or later, violently or quietly. The more you think of her, the more it will pain you. The fact is that while there is truth in your love there is no such truth, perhaps never was (given the few incidents you narrated) from her side. The sooner you understand this, the better it is. 

Offer it all to the Divine Mother. She will pull you out of everything. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

These dreams and visions belong to the intermediate vital worlds. It is a world that imitates Truth and misleads the soul through aggrandizing the ego and stimulating ambitions and desires. It is good that you defeated their designs and remembered The Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

A few months ago, I felt my practice of Integral Yoga had become overly mental and habitual—gathering concepts rather than living the sadhana—so I stepped away and followed a structured traditional discipline involving mantra-japa. 📖🕯️🙏🏼[…]

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]
