AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Sir, I am currently in a bad situation. It has given me mental stress, anxiety, etc. It is not something major, it is usual household problems and an alcoholic father, though I am facing the problem like head-on, like a warrior. 💔🍷😣❤️‍🔥🌸[…]

Being the child of the Mother, I try to act without losing peace, calmness and equanimity and during my confrontation with the problem, which is more in the psychological domain rather than physical, I do my sincere action and try to offer and surrender to the Divine. Still, I am in the primary stage of Evolution, and the kindle in my heart is also very dim.

Considering the fact that it often comes to my mind to take refuge in alcohol, but I can’t, due to the constant presence of the Mother inside me and outside. I can’t do these vices. Then I turned to prescribed anti-anxiety meds through the doc. My question is that these psychotic meds (mild) have given me some relief, but I am afraid that they could harm my Psychic Emergence or bring disharmony in the being. Please share your illumined thoughts.

Alcohol, of course, is no option for anyone. Medication can be taken if it helps you maintain a calmer state. It will not come in the way to the psychic emergence. Do not worry about that. 

Also, it is important to understand that we cannot fix anyone else’s problem, especially if they are themselves not keen to fix it. Getting too much into trying to solve the issues of others may end up affecting you. Hence, do keep a certain inwardly detached attitude and pray for help in the issues of outer life while keeping the main focus on the inner growth. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alok da. I was reading the ‘Bhawani Mandir’ under Vandemataram, where Sri Aurobindo said, “We will therefore build a temple to the white Bhawani, the mother of strength…” and said that the mandir would be built away from the modern cities, etc. Did he mean to build the physical mandir? And if so, was it built? Or is it more in the subtle space over India? Please could you shed some light? 🛕🗺️😊🙏🏻🌸

Here is what Sri Aurobindo himself said (in third person) when asked about the idea of Bhawani Mandir. …
