AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel suffocated😖 in crowded places, especially when there’s loud music and constant chatter. I find it hard to speak up in those situations, and organizing or participating in events isn’t really my strength. People often assume I’m dumb because I stay quiet. Is this a bad quality? I prefer spending my time reading books of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, listening to your talks, and talking to people who are connected to Maa. I’m unsure how to handle this because I work in an IT company, and this environment feels out of sync with who I am.

You are like the swan in the company of kingfishers. Don’t try to be like them. Instead walk with your head held high towards high and noble things, keep your feet steady on the ground by doing your work with dedication and practice equanimity in the face of outer disturbances. When surrounded and overwhelmed with contrary forces, then just go on taking the Mother’s Name quietly in your heart and all will be well.

It is a complete freedom from the past, from the world as organised by the gods. This clean slate is needed to make a clear ground for the New Creation.

The release from the conventions is the release from the laws and norms of the old creation. It is akin to the story of Daksha Prajapati whose laws and norms are overturned by Shiva and the sacrifice of Mata Sati….
