AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it was the limitation of my mind and its conception that put things in a certain slot. Sri Aurobindo is beyond man and woman and one would love to give one’s all to Him. Similarly the Mother is indeed the Beloved because with Her and Her alone one can share unabashedly all of oneself in utter nudity as a child. 

But there are in us certain parts, typically engaged in a man-woman relationship which cannot be fully consummated thus. Perhaps these need to go through and grow through the human experience for the total change. At least this is what one finds hinted in some of the later writings of Sri Aurobindo on the Supramental Manifestation and in one of Nolini da’s writings ‘To love man’. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Home maker is fine and good but a woman’s life cannot be confined to the home nor should her role be limited to bringing up children. This is neither in tune with the demands of our Age nor with our own ancient culture where women participated everything including philosophical discourses, Vedic writings to battle and war and Sciences. Our Saraswati and Durga are examples of the feminine power in different spheres. So whether you have …
