AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel there is no need of science then in life and yoga? 🫤

Science has its own place, so does reason and logic has its place. Equally Art and Beauty and Love has its place. Faith and Aspiration and seeking for God has its own place. All are needed for the fullness of life but they work best when they operate in the field given to each. One may be an brilliant scientist yet completely lack the sense of beauty and even love. That is what is called as a robot. Man is not meant to be a robot. One cannot run to the Chat gpt to solve misunderstanding between husband and wife. Science is a study of measurable processes. Even walking and eating has a Science behind it. But when we eat there intervene other non-measurable factors, for example the love with which the food has been prepared, the occult atmosphere behind it. For example when we take prasad, it is a question of faith and not simply hygiene. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

My brother recently had a daughter. This made me read and explore more about that subject. I understand that the soul chooses to take human birth to progress further, but does it also choose the family or parents through whom to come into this human vital world? 👧🏼🪷🌻✨

Choosing the parents happens when the psychic being is developed and able to chose the conditions of earthly life into details. Until then it is only a general choice about the conditions and not particular details. Until a certain degree of development is completed the psychic being only goes by a …

Sri Aurobindo writes in “The web of yoga”, “We can pass into the Paratpara Brahman, but we can’t know the Paratpara Brahman.” Does it mean attaining Nirvanam, The Total Merger, that nothing individual is left? So knowing is not possible in Nirvanam. Am I right in my understanding? 💫💖🪷✨

Yes because knowing implies a competition between the knower and the known. We can therefore become Brahman not know IT as know an object. We can lose ourselves into …
