AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am suffering from neuropathy and it is very trying and I need to know why and how I can get better and be completely free from it? Have tried many therapies including Acupuncture and now reflexology! It is better but there is constriction in the feet and pins and needles in the feet and sometimes hands also. Please please help me๐Ÿ™ ย  ย  ย 

Nerves require peace and rest to heal. You should call peace constantly in the system. Use a mantra that gives you the sense of peace like some Shanti mantras. Try to divert your mind towards something that can engage you in a happy way. Acupressure and gentle massage is likely to help more than acupuncture.  It is also important to sleep well and get your B12 levels checked up. There are some simple allopathic medicines as well which are very helpful. But that can be prescribed only after someone sees you. 

Most importantly do not lose courage. Pray, pray, pray with faith and the help will come.ย 

Affectionately,

The remembrance and the offering does become mechanical from time to …

Following the recent collapse of my marriage, home, and livelihood, I feel this dismantling may be Divine Grace clearing away old attachments to make space for what my soul truly seeks. Through all this loss, an inner pull toward simplicity, service, and a life centered on Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA has only deepened. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

It often happens that just before we make an exceptional progress or soon thereafter, a sudden unexpected difficulty props us. It is like a test to see if we are ready to go further. These tests are not arranged by The Mother but by the cosmic forces, spiritual as well as hostile, to see if we are really ready for the next stage. There is an interesting writing of The Mother revealing us the way…

Dear Sir, why is Goddess Durga called Mahishasura Mardini, signifying the crushing or subduing of the demon (mardan), rather than using a term for direct killing (vadh), and what is the spiritual significance of choosing absolute subjugation over simple destruction? We see a similar scene in Shiva’s subjugation of Apasmara and the containment of Raktabeeja. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

It is a very interesting and true observation that many are not aware of. This question was asked to The Mother and here is what She replied.

‘This afternoon I forgot one thing. The day before yesterday I spontaneously prayed to You to destroy all that is hostile in me, as Durga kills the Asuras….
