AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I made errors in the past (which I think I did because of my ignorance). This led to my character assassination and my outcast from society. People started ill-treating me and humiliating me. All this led also to my psychosis. I had to cut-off almost all connections from people because anyways I was getting negative treatment from them, through all these years. I have been labelled as a womaniser. My crude nature still haunts me. I am attracted to and look at women, but sometimes people notice me looking at women, which leads to further character assassination.🏠⛓️🗣️😪

I offer all this, everything, everything without exception, to the Divine! And I pray for the Divine’s Help and Love and Companionship! I pray that the Divine gives me Bhakti and does everything for me and leads me to my Goal!

Human beings, almost all inflict suffering upon each other unwittingly because of the ego and the desire-self that drives us. Behind it all there is the parent cause ignorance. The only remedy is to take refuge in the Lord that quickly cleanses us of everything and carries us to our true destination very soon. Once someone has turned to the Divine then one is no more this or that person as the world knows and understands but simply a devotee, a child, a portion of the Divine Mother. All the insults thrown at him do not then matter anymore. They too become flowers offered at the Lord’s Feet. 

May your beautiful aspiration be fulfilled as it will one day.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The Bhagawat Purana is written by a Rishi no less than the calibre of Vyasa. The entire Purana is profound in its depth, spiritual and occult understanding. To take it literally is to rob it of its real sense. The gopa and gopis are the divine souls who came down with Sri Krishna to open the path of bhakti, of utter abandonment and surrender to the Divine for man to follow…

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…
