AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How do we identify the Pure Delight, the Delight that Sri Aurobindo calls ANANDA? If we are diving into a Delight, how do we identify whether it is Pure or artificial? 😊🙏🏻🌻✨

This division is in everybody. It is by sadhana that one becomes one-pointed. It takes long time. Faith, sincerity, aspiration and surrender hastens the process. Depression, guilt, doubts, frustration make the process more complicated and longer….
