AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Sir, In Sri Aurobindo’s Letters on Yoga, he says, “The faith that goes to the Cosmic Divine is limited in the power of its action by the necessities of the play. To get entirely free from these limitations one must reach the Transcendent Divine.” – Is The Mother the Transcendent Divine and must we put our faith in her, or is there something else Sri Aurobindo is talking about? Please elaborate. 📖😊🙏🏻🌼

[Faith > A Problem of Faith: https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/faith#p27]

The Cosmic Divine is Sri Krishna, the Divine who works in the world through the agency of Time and the gods and operates according to the necessities of the play as it unfolds. Of course Sri Krishna is the Purushottama as well and hence transcends all, but in his actual action He upholds the Cosmic Will as it expresses from the Overmind Consciousness. The Overmind Consciousness is the domain of the Cosmic Divine who holds the Cosmic Truth as received from the Supramental and manifests it through the dual play of Knowledge and Ignorance. 

The Transcendent Divine is the Supermind and beyond. It is manifested in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. It can completely change the movement of Time itself by bringing into play the Knowledge and Power of the Highest. The supramental action introduces a completely new element in the cosmic Consciousness that changes the nature of the play, the balance of powers and acts with an absolute Power that can override the Cosmic determinism and the Law. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I must say this is quite impressive in a general sense, as close to the truth as possible. 

There is only one problem though. The same answer or even a much less mentally satisfying answer, given by a Master, either a living Master or through the living words of the Divine or else received through the inner Guidance or if nothing else by the eyes of faith brings us closer to the Divine which is the real goal of the…

I often experience intense physical purges—such as severe nausea and abdominal heat—after encountering certain people or environments, leading me to wonder if Sri Maa spoke about absorbing others’ karmic energies and how to safely regain vitality. 🛡️🌸[…]

Not sure what you mean by lower energies of people getting absorbed. The human system is not an entirely closed container. The body and mind of each person is constantly engaged in an energy interchange all the time. And since most human beings live in the vital, the transaction also takes place mostly at the vital level. Most …
