AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Β I am able to meditate with immense ease in Puducherry. Be it Ashram, Auroville, Sharanam etc. Why is it hard for me to do the same concentration or meditation at home? Yes I need to create such atmosphere from scratch on a daily basis. I am not able to do it. Lately I feel the dire need to cleanse my aura and that’s possible by only concentrating on Mother and asking Her the guidance for the same. How much of concentration/meditation is needed? How can I inculcate that on a daily basis because you know how Indian households are. Help me out.πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ©΅πŸ•―οΈπŸ•‰οΈ

Yes it is due to the atmosphere which is palpably different in the Ashram, Auroville and places dedicated to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother vis a vis a typical city dedicated to earning monet and enjoying life with it. The collective consciousness is quite low especially in cities. The only option is to create your own atmosphere by an inner Remembrance of the Mother and to build your little space into an Ashram house / room by the books, photographs, incense, music and invocation of the Mother. 

To think of Her is meditation. There is no limit to it but usually the mind cannot sustain it and hence one should offer one’s work and activities to the Mother turning the whole of life into a living meditation. 

Affectionately,
