AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am officially separated from my partner, but a part of me is struggling to let them go. Some of it stems from jealousy, the thought that they might find someone better. While I genuinely want them to be happy, there’s still a part of me holding on. How can I make peace with the idea that they may eventually find someone else and love that person 😪?

Let them find whoever they are destined to find but an abiding happiness through objects of desire is as rare, if not impossible in the present state of human consciousness as finding true love. Millions have tried it and failed. Millions will perhaps continue to try it and fail yet again. Man and the world are too limited and imperfect on all counts while the soul of man an eternal seeker of Perfection to be ever satisfied and rest content with transient perishable goods. Temporarily yes, but only so long as the soul is asleep but that is even worse since it means being content with our fallen state and animal nature. 

So, understanding this fundamental truth about life, take all this as a Grace, an opportunity to discover life fresh and the meaning of your existence, the goal and purpose of your life. What has happened, has happened. Now that you are free as many of the energies involved in the relationship are released, turn them in pursuit of higher, truer, more meaningful, diviner things rather than leaving yourself vulnerable and at the mercy of someone else. Move ahead towards the future rather than holding on to the past.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is no need to delve into knowledge of geo-politics? It is one profession among many. No one is expected to learn about every profession, isn’t it?

That is why Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak of a higher and lower Perfection. The higher Perfection refers to the soul’s Perfection, the spiritual growth from a state of Ignorance to a state of Truth and Vastness.

Dear Sir, why is that the ego anti-divine? Why does it is not naturally surrenders to the divine? Why is there division and a distance from the divine? Why does it have to die ultimately for the complete spiritualization? 🪞🌱🙏🏼

Ego is neither Divine nor anti-Divine. It is a part of human nature whose purpose is to create the sense of individuality. Individuality is a necessary element in human evolution. Its purpose is to create the sense of freewill, within certain limits of course. Freewill in this context simply means that the individual must chose from a number of forces impacting upon the person. The choices may be aligned to our deeper truth, swabhava and swadharma, …
