AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel blessed people have luxuries and riches in life😡?

Who knows it can be the other way round as more the luxuries one has, the more one tends to become lazy and be enslaved to comforts, then it is very difficult for him to progress. The Mother shares a part of the bible, “yes it true that its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to turn to God.” But yes when the rich man does turn to God it would be very beautiful as this brings greater possibilities with regard to help in the Divine Manifestation. But having riches and luxuries is by itself no sign of being specially blessed by God. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, the Divine consciousness manifests into the world through Involution, and human suffering is often described as a side effect of this evolutionary process. 🤔😣🥀🌄[…]

The first thing to understand is that the Divine who chose to plunge into the ignorance with the full knowledge of the aftermath of suffering and the eventual multiplication of delight, the manifold delight of multiplicity, did it with the full consent of our central being, that aspect of the soul that remains unfallen and hence always in the bliss of the eternal company of the Divine. The soul in us took it as a great adventure in which it plunged along …
