AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel I need the company of like minded people for studying Sri Aurobindo. I really love to read Mother and Sri Aurobindo but sometimes I can’t get myself to do so in an organised manner. A little bit of a nudge from time to time by a few friends would be great. Are the any online study circles that I can join? I don’t know of any in my city. I don’t find many people on Twitter or Discord who are into the integral yoga, hence I get into these other mixed spiritual communities and waste my time discussing many things that are irrelevant from the perspective of the Yoga. [conti]

I want to stop doing this and associate with the correct company and seriously dedicate my time and efforts to prepare my aadhar for the Integral Yoga.

Yes the need is valid and has its justification. There are certain online study circles, also WhatsApp groups. You can join my WhatsApp group if you like. I know there are online groups but not sure how to access them. Where do you live? May be I can suggest something there.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana. 

Its general version applicable for every sadhaka has been described in The Synthesis of Yoga in the book on the yoga of self-perfection…

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
