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

The minimum requirements for joining active politics should be at least 25 (when you have completed your studies and have a job) or 35 when there is some experience and maturity to understand life, especially the web of politics. Student movements almost always get hijacked by political parties with vested interests and backed by funds and forces whose purpose is very different from what is proclaimed. These forces, – …

Dada, yesterday during the study circle, we were reading about Purusha and Prakriti. In the course of the discussion, I happened to say that Sri Aurobindo is Purusha and the Mother is Prakriti (the executive power of the Purusha). Dada, please tell us your view. 😊🙏🏻🌼🪷

The truth of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is that they are human representation of Ishwara and Shakti. Shakti is also known simetimes known as Paraprakriti or the higher Divine Supernature. 

Prakriti generally refers to the lower formulation of the Higher Divine Nature. Prakriti as it operates here…
