AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am unable to find any other refuge .. but can I depend entirely on the Divine, handing Him all my problems and worries .. holding on to Him and Him Alone .. taking refuge in Him Alone? and then taking all events in my life as His prasad, as gifts🎁 of His Grace .. ?

It doesn’t mean that one does not put the efforts needed to face the situation and come out of the inner and outer difficulties.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
