AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can one know the state of consciousness of oneself when one has turned to divine for grace when everything else failed before turning to Divine? When Divine is the only hope and one knows divine will not fail us? How to know what stage of consciousness one is in and is the Divine happy with the sadhak?🕉️🪷☀️👁️🌌

If one has truly surrendered to the Divine and has the complete faith that the Divine alone is the hope and that He alone can help and save, then one is in a psychic state of faith and surrender. 

If one is full of doubts and swinging between belief and non-belief,  calculating and in need of proof and evidence then one is very much in the mind.

If one is having a transactional relationship of give and take, pride and hurt then it is a vital relation with the Divine. 

A purely physical mechanical relation is simply one devoid of inner feeling or active thought. 

A complete faith and surrender full of a living and loving trust in the Divine, regardless of circumstances is the true psychic relation with the Divine.

PS: The Divine does not act as a judge or a tribunal of justice awarding success and failure. Those closest to the Divine have always undergone the toughest challenges. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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.

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…
