AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am interested in trying to practice physical exercise as a means of making the body more conscious. How to do say, say in swimming🏊‍♂️, so that instead of doing it routinely one does it in a conscious way?

Observe a few moments of inner silence before starting the exercise. 

Offer the exercise to the Mother with prayer to make the body more supple and conscious. You may use the following prayer given by the Mother. 

‘November 22, 1967

The prayer of the cells in the body

(The prayer of the body’s cells)

Now that by the effect of the Grace we are slowly emerging out of inconscience and waking up to a conscious life, an ardent prayer rises in us for more light, more consciousness:

“O Supreme Lord of the Universe,
We implore Thee, give us
the strength and the beauty,
the harmonious perfection
needed to be Thy divine instruments upon earth. ‘

Remember Her inwardly in the heart as often as possible while doing the exercise consciously.

After completing the exercise, once again observe a few moments of concentration and offering to the Mother. 

Best to keep a fixed time and do regularly whatever you do. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

First about the facts. Mr Sonam Wangchuk is not inspired by Sri Aurobindo. There is nothing even remotely common between him and Sri Aurobindo whose name he has used as if he is going through a similar process. It …

“There is no criterion, but one can easily distinguish if one is in the inward condition, not sleep, in which most visions take place, by the nature of the impression made. A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
