There are a number of talks on the subject that you will find on Auromaa. But as far as I am concerned, I never used any process since I never felt an inner need for having any experience nor wanted moksha or anything else. My problem was the condition of the world and humanity, which seemed quite pitiable. My aspiration was to know the real cause and if I could be of help in relieving human suffering in any way. I could not find satisfactory answers in any of the scriptures. In the process, I became an agnostic. Then Sri Aurobindo came, a Grace indeed, and one experience after another followed. But if you ask me if I practised something, then well, the only few things I did were that from time to time I would be automatically seized by an intense aspiration to see, hear, touch, taste, smell God, to know Him in totality. Along with this, I would feel an intense fire in the heart, day and night, for nearly 6 months, with an intense feeling to find my Guru and God within. Equanimity and Peace were the two qualities I actively asked for, and practiced inner witnessing. Then, without knowing or wanting anything, I was pushed into Her Service, which came as the biggest boon in terms of progress. Soon, love for Her took hold of my being and faith became strong. Of course, I loved reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and read all their works and of many others before touching 40. All else followed without any effort. So frankly, I never followed any systematic process. All developed spontaneously, simply as an act of the Divine Mother’s Grace, which is what I feel,Β counts more than anything else. Her love and service, Her Name, remembering and offering our life and works and opening to Her with complete faith, taking Her Name inwardly, offering all actions to Her, and a dynamic will for total unreserved surrender are the mainstay of this yoga, according to my experience and understanding.Β π»
