AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Gita mentions that sthitha pragnya as a being without निरहङ्कारः. Sri Aurobindo says that to be truly free of निरहङ्कारः, the nature has to be supramentalised otherwise the ‘I’ sense remains, though in a sublimated and divine way. So what is निरहङ्कारः according to the Gita🤔?

Nirahankar, निरहंकार, normoha,  निर्मोह, ahamshoonya, अहमशून्य, are closely allied states. Nirahankar is the absence of egoism which is very much possible by the practice of equanimity and desirelessness (nishkama karma). Nirmoha is absence of delusion and attachment which is the state of a Jivanmukta. Ahamshoonya or egolessness comes by the realization of the One Self in all. It means one is no more identified with the mind, life and body which then continue to act under past impulsion.  For the Supramental realisation, even the mind, life and body must be freed from the ego completely in the sense that losing their separativeness they must be one with the corresponding cosmic consciousness and open to the Transcendent Beyond. There is no more any personal mind, life and body.  

Affectioneatly,

Alok Da

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…
