AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

“FAITH IN SPIRITUAL POWER MUST NOT DEPEND ON CIRCUMSTANCES” – MOTHER. – I am not able to understand this Bhai🧿🩵⚡🧘🪷

It means that a faith that the Divine need not act according to our ideas and wishes for us to have faith. Most human beings believe that if they have faith then the outer circumstances and situations of life will change according to our idea of what they should be. But the Divine Power sees things in a different way. It looks at hidden forces at work, the higher possibilities in us and, if needed for our good, may even take us through difficult and challenging circumstances if that be needed for our soul. So if our faith depends upon these outer things then obviously it is more like treating the Divine as an Omnipotent miracle doer who is at our service.

True faith does not depend upon these things or on any outer thing. It trusts that the Divine will always do good even if we do not understand it at the moment. It leaves everything in the hands of the Grace and keeps the faith that whatever happens will be for the good.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]
