AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I deeply aspire to open psychically to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, yet I hesitate to meet you, feeling unworthy and unprepared for this sadhana. Hearing that one must learn human love before loving the Divine makes me fearful, as I feel deficient in both relationships and spiritual depth. 💛🙏🏻[…]

How can someone like me, who only has aspiration and a desire to laugh through their follies, grow capable of true Divine love and transformation?

The Divine Mother does not want us to be someone or something to meet Her. It is enough if one has the aspiration, or else very simply love or faith. Having difficulties does not disqualify us. In fact, where else and to whom else would one turn or go to when one is besieged by troubles and difficulties but the Divine Mother. Here is another passage describing this.

‘What value have our impulses and our desires, our anguish and our violence, our sufferings and our struggles, all these inner vicissitudes unduly dramatised by our unruly imagination—what value do they have before this great, this sublime and divine love bending over us from the innermost depths of our being, bearing with our weaknesses, rectifying our errors, healing our wounds, bathing our whole being with its regenerating streams?

For the inner Godhead never imposes herself, she neither demands nor threatens; she offers and gives herself, conceals and forgets herself in the heart of all beings and things; she never accuses, she neither judges nor curses nor condemns, but works unceasingly to perfect without constraint, to mend without reproach, to encourage without impatience, to enrich each one with all the wealth he can receive; she is the mother whose love bears fruit and nourishes, guards and protects, counsels and consoles; because she understands everything, she can endure everything, excuse and pardon everything, hope and prepare for everything; bearing everything within herself, she owns nothing that does not belong to all, and because she reigns over all, she is the servant of all; that is why all, great and small, who want to be kings with her and gods in her, become, like her, not despots but servitors among their brethren.’

Affectionately,

How can one enlighten, strengthen and purify the vital? It is also mentioned that the choice of sensations and their control should be made with a very scientific austerity and solely for the growth and perfection of the vital. In day-to-day life, what would it mean and how should one practice this? 🔥🌱

The vital generally acts under the impulsion of desire and its children ambition, fear, and the rest. The first step in its refinement is to practice equanimity and nishkama karma, that is to say, action done with an eye on perfection rather than personal gains. Next it should be turned into an offering to the Divine within, an act of worship of the Divine. Here is a beautiful hint by The Mother…

Often, I feel deeply detached from conventional human relationships and ordinary life, feeling instead a strong inner pull toward the Divine, the Mother, and Sri Aurobindo. While I carry a deep aspiration for Integral Yoga and Their works, a part of me feels unanchored, struggling to understand my identity and everyday responsibilities.🌸🙏🏻[…]

It is because you are right now caught between two worlds. Keep opening to the Mother, pray to Her, remember Her and dedicate all you do to Her. Wherever you may be connect yourself inwardly to Her and let Her lead and carry and govern your life.
