AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can one know whether the surrender to divine mother is complete or not ? As our human mind raise questions of everything😏, are we really moving towards on this path Sri Aurobindo & The Mother showed us.

The sign of perfect surrender is a state of inner Peace in all circumstances. There is also freedom from desire and the egoism of Nature. This brings inner felicity which is another sign of surrender.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is best to leave the result in the hands of the Divine. Self promotion is a bad policy in the long run. It feeds vanity and arrogance while dropping the actual ability to work well. Work should not be a performance but the joy of expressing one’s inner truth. It should …

I am a woman entering into my 30s. Since a small kid, I remember growing up among mostly male cousins. So much so that I used to be a tomboy. I grew up among female classmates and have had mostly female friendships. 👩🏼❤️‍🔥🌼[…]

Being a Tomboy or experiencing protective feelings as well as comparisions with other women does not suggest that one is a lesbian or a bisexual. What matters is a clear sexual orientation, of  feeling physical attraction towards the same gender. All the rest is a …
