AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel anxious all the time, though. And I also feel like if Mother has asked me to do something and I have not done it for whatever reason, (I feel she is talking to me all the time), I have made a grave mistake and that it will hamper my progress. Is that true? 😥🌸🌱

The Mother does not hold conversations. These things like ‘Conversations with God’ are a play of the mind and one should always be careful not to project our limited ideas, beliefs, etc., on the Divine, who is far above these things. But since we need the human touch, He takes a human body and gives what He has to give by way of writings, letters, conversations, guidance, above all by His own example. One should read Their works to prepare the heart and mind to receive the true Guidance which liberates us from all these thoughts of mistakes and guilt, etc. Just putting one of Her passages to reveal something of how the Divine works. You may read the full text from ‘The Supreme Discovery’ in Collected Works of The Mother, Vol 2 (Words of Long Ago)

‘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.

How beautiful is this humble role of servant, the role of all who have been revealers and heralds of the God who is within all, of the Divine Love that animates all things….’

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwm/02/the-supreme-discovery#p23)

Guilt, etc., are no part of Yoga. These things belong to the old world governed by falsehood that twists everything. What one needs is not guilt but learning and growing constantly towards the Divine disclosure in oneself and in all. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

On 9th Dec 1972, the Mother said : “ Do not ask me any questions about the mind; I am no longer interested in it. I am concentrated on union with the overmind.” What did she mean by it? Wasn’t she doing yoga of the cells at that time? And why didn’t she want to instruct the disciple about the mind? 🧬✨🙏🏻

It is about establishing the principle of the Overmind fully in the cells as part of the cellular yoga.

As to giving instructions about the Mind, all that She had already done in abundance. To keep asking that would mean bringing Her back to the Mind which would eventually impact the most important work She is here to do.

The fact that your parents went through the challenges successfully should bring faith rather than fear. Fear is an absence of faith. Ask for faith from God. It is faith alone that …
