AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dream: I was with my two uncles, and we went to a college where we were looking for something. There was a teacher who was involved in some wrongdoing with the students, and we went to catch him. 🧑🏼‍🏫🏫😶‍🌫️✨[…]

We searched the entire college trying to find out who that teacher was, as we didn’t know his identity. After searching for a while, we found the teacher, but he also became suspicious that we had found out about his misconduct.

The teacher made my two uncles sit in his office and said he would be right back. I was pacing outside the teacher’s office, and many students were leaving the college. Then the teacher asked me what I had come for, so I said I wanted to get admitted. Then I called my uncles and told them to tell the teacher that. Then I went to the principal’s office and told him about the theft, and it turned out that the principal was also involved in the theft. Then the college director came, and I gave him everything in writing. He found out everything, and then a program was organized for me where I was honored.

It is an interesting dream where you detect the deceits of the old schools of Thought that do not reveal the complete truth. It is like clearing a spiritual test on the path. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

To take it literally is to rob it of its real sense. The gopa and gopis are the divine souls who came down with Sri Krishna to open the path of bhakti, of utter abandonment and surrender to the Divine for man to follow…

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana. 

Its general version applicable for every sadhaka has been described in The Synthesis of Yoga in the book on the yoga of self-perfection…

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
