AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How was the universe 🌏 created?

The universe is created by the extension of the Divine Consciousness in terms of Time and Space. It is somewhat like a poet or writer expressing himself through pen and paper. But the creation is going on as a continuous process so we can’t say ‘was’ created but ‘is being’ created. 

So God as the Author or Poet decided to write His story so He brought out of Himself all the Knowledge and Power to write. This Knowledge and power of God (Omniscience and Omnipotence) is the Divine Mother. Then together they started writing this grand story with Space as the page and Time as the pen and ink. The numerous forms are the letters. The object of this story is to multiply delight. If we read this story with the mind we are unable to understand its meaning because the mind does not know the language of God. But if we read it with the soul then all is legible and beautifully clear. Right now the Chapter that is being written is the most important one. It is titled, ‘From Man to Superman.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da

But to do any of these things the first …

Alok Da, I wrote a reflection on a childhood memory of a ferocious storm where, amidst the thunder and scolding, catching a single raindrop opened me to a sudden, ecstatic realization: “The Lord is falling as rain.” Even without dramatic spiritual experiences in my daily sadhana, I find myself growing steadily calmer and far more at peace. 🌧️✨🙏[…]

There are two ways of finding the Divine. One is to cut oneself off from all the various activities of the world in one’s seeking for the Divine. This is the narrow and shorter but one kind of extreme path. The other path is to find the Divine everywhere and in everything. It is a wider, more difficult but also more complete path. In this …
