AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I  have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?🪈🐎☸️📜

Coming to Purusha, it is said purusha is the consciousness, how is that relevant, because they be both male and female both have the power of consciousness.

There are many other characteristics of purusha prakriti and their relationship also described, but I am not able to have a integral understanding on this subject, please guide me in my process of knowledge so my yoga is progressed with better clarity.

Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the basic truth that will apply at every level. It is One Consciousness that can take two poises, static and dynamic, passive and active

Affectionately,

Sir, Sri Aurobindo talks about the descent of peace, light, force while doing above-head concentration. he also speaks about higher planes of consciousness, e.g., higher mind, intuitive mind, etc., and the ascent of consciousness into these planes. What is the correlation between these two explanations? 😊🙏🏻🌀🌸

Ascent means that the consciousness begins to operate in a new mode. It is somewhat like a child going from school into graduation wherein he understands the same subject differently. Thus with each ascent there comes a new way of looking at everything, a new and higher mode of operating. …

I visited somebody’s house (some rich businessman) and he had, I believe, 11, 12, or 13 entrances into his house (I forgot the exact number). And each of those entrances was guarded by a small fluffy dog of the same breed (very beautiful). 💭🐍🐕‍🦺🏡🌾[…]

From your description it seems to be some place in the vital world, some benevolent being of the mid-worlds that holds wealth. The dogs are faithful guardians of the treasure while the snakes are adverse vital forces trying …
