AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

For the past two months, an intense emotional attachment and desire have thrown my vital into turmoil, making me restless, angry, and disruptive at home. Even with the conscious awareness that this craving feeds the lower vital, the pull to love and be loved creates a severe inner conflict with my spiritual aspiration. I am caught between the lofty calling of Savitri and ordinary human needs. How do I resolve this duality, master this vital push, and rightly handle this relationship in the Mother’s Light?

It is good that you didn’t go as the door once opened tends to draw in the forces that push us more and more until either we get destabilised or else the vital gets exhausted and turns away towards other faces and forms. There is the danger of us becoming a toy of these forces then whose consequences can sometimes be quite disastrous. 

However the solution will not come by getting into inner conflicts with the vital. A vital that is aroused can become nasty like a wild tigress. Instead give it a direction and purpose by staying busy and doing exercises. Remind yourself that as he is not keen to take the relationship to its logical conclusion, it has no future. If still you must meet ask him to come. It won’t be wise for you to go to him in another city. 

This is not so much a dual personality. To feel love for someone and want to be loved are human and natural. But even there it is good to let reason keep a watch and control over the vital until the right person comes into your life shares your aspiration and supports it.

Affectionately

In day-to-day life, what would it mean and how should one practice this? 🔥🌱

The vital generally acts under the impulsion of desire and its children ambition, fear, and the rest. The first step in its refinement is to practice equanimity and nishkama karma, that is to say, action done with an eye on perfection rather than personal gains. Next it should be turned into an offering to the Divine within, an act of worship of the Divine. Here is a beautiful hint by The Mother…
