AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I keep posting quotes and words of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother on WhatsApp and other social media platforms because I can’t keep the bliss I get after reading Them. The world needs to know the ecstatic nectar of their words. Last year I attended various camps conducted by Sri Aurobindo Society and Auroville. They just ridicule that I’ve joined “Ashram” and I’m asked to not run away from the house possibly wearing a white saree and shun all my responsibilities here. My neighbour is 60 year old, he scolds me to turning my head to Ashram because according to him I should be doing all this at 60,🌟πŸͺ·πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈβ˜€οΈ

after ‘enjoying’ life, what he means is after thorough indulge and be done with the sansar and then turn to satsang. I used to be a bit bothered initially now I don’t feel anything for comments like this as everybody’s in their own learning pace and I can’t impose. My question to you is people ask me about who is Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, what are they and why do I post them so much? My mind immediately finds a logical and strong yet easy answer to tell them so that I encapsulate everything about Them in that one sentence. So please help me out.Β 

I would simply smile at their folly. If they insist, I would point out the story of Nachiketa in the Katha Upanishad. If they are too dumb to understand that I would say, to each his own enjoyment and his way. But one thing is certain that there is nothing like a post-retirement spirituality plan (PSP for short). It is like seeking a postmortem salvation in the afterlife.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is the one Divine Self that takes many forms, aspects, becomes a multitude of persons and personalities just as each body has countless cells, tissues, organs.
