AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

From the lines of Savitri🕊️: I will pursue thee across the centuries; Thou shalt be hunted through the world by love, Naked of ignorance’ protecting veil And without covert from my radiant gods. Gods are generally considered a benevolent influence. So what does the line ‘without covert from my radiant gods.’ mean?

There are these two masks that prevent us from realising the unity of the Divine and His direct unfettered action in us. The first is the mask of ignorance and the other is luminous mask woven by the gods. But the Divine is beyond ignorance and knowledge,  avidya and vidya. He uses both for fulfilling His purpose. The Divine Consciousness tears away both the masks and those meant to manifest the Divine Love cannot hide behind either the mask of ignorance nor behind a luminous sattwic nature. To be limited to the godlike nature is to miss the supreme Oneness of the Divine Consciousness that shuns nothing, acts and works within and through everything, and uses everything to fulfill Its grand plan.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Believing or not believing is not an issue. The question is why does a person drink? In the absence of faith one uses reason to navigate his life. That is after all the big difference between an animal driven by…

I don’t feel like do anything. It seems that aspiration and will are being exhausted. Earlier, there was so much devotion, there was aspiration and there was a desire for progress, but now only destruction is visible on all sides. Why are there so many difficulties😥? Mind, vital, physical all are creates obstacles. Neither to study nor to make efforts, no one can do it. Without any reason the mind doubts. As this is his habit. The automatic sees any thing and suddenly judge it. I am not experiencing anything and it feels like I am not progressing. One thing has happened during this, I have realized that the evil that is in everyone’s heart is also in my heart. Why does this happen and what should I do in this situation?

These are phases that come in every seekers life because there are many parts and aspects in us. That is why taking to spiritual life too early especially during adolescence is not very desirable as the challenges are many. It is only when we have gone through the experiences of life keeping the …
