AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Did Sri Aurobindo give his own commentaries or notes for at least some topics of Savitri, any others, did he feel, its not necessary? If not, did he feel, its not necessary, that  the reader should try to get it on their own like you? 📜📚✍️🔉

I understand, you got it on your own by His Grace, without taking outside help other than The Divine Mother. 

Or did he feel  one can follow  his 

” Savitri “if they are sincere.? 

What do you say? 

Because I am happy to get the understanding on my own by Her Grace without depending on outside source. 

That makes my understanding better and clear. 

Even when I don’t get some places, I feel I should wait and in course of time, the ideas will become more clear. 

Am I right in my thoughts? 

Sri Aurobindo did not have the time and he was not in the habit of explaining. He was mainly busy with his main work of Supramental transformation. Savitri was his last and most important gift to mankind but it was over only a couple of weeks before he withdrew. He was as if waiting for its completion. 

There are no fixed rules with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother except aspiration and opening to Her Grace. But even these are supports to their action which itself is independent of the human activity. In any case understanding always comes because of the Grace working in the depths. Human mind, whether one’s own or someone else’s can at best be an ocassion but not the cause. So each is free to follow their way. Whatever way it works for a person is good for that person. But another way may work for someone else. Therefore they have provided for every way and opened different doors for different seekers.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time if i make a promise to myself that i will not ask unnecessary things and face difficulties myself seems not the right thing to do. I feel my relationship with Mother is the most valued thing in my life so how do i make it pure.

Surely we can ask the Divine Mother for what we need. Only our relationship should not be confined to that. One should learn to give, to give out of joy, something of oneself, work, actions, money, something for Her Purpose in …

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. 🌿🕊️[…]

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
