Recently, an erratic lower vital wave rose below my navel, triggering old desires that mental reasoning and active resistance failed to subdue. On the verge of being overwhelmed, I ceased struggling with personal willpower, focused on my heart center, and offered my entire being to the Motherโs presence. In a split second, the disturbing movements completely dissolvedโcould you please explain the inner mechanism of how this sincere self-offering instantly neutralizes lower nature where mental effort fails?
The magic worked instantly because you did try and then, at a point where the limitations of personal effort appeared, you surrendered to the Mother. This is the key. Not a tamasic surrender nor personal will alone, but to strive rightly and offer to the Mother is the perfect way. The personal will prepares the ground for the Divine Working. The Grace can then fulfill with much ease.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
