AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I notice a troubling tendency in myself. When I speak to others about Sri Maa and Sri Aurobindo, I want to be the one who introduces them and explains everything, and I feel good if they appreciate my understanding. 😨[…]

But if they start taking a deep interest in Themselves, reading Their works, connecting to Them directly, or trying to follow Their path, then I feel an inner resistance and discomfort. A kind of jealousy arises; I don’t want them to follow Sri Maa and Sri Aurobindo. Why do I feel this way, and how can I work through or transform this tendency?

It is because the ego takes over and wants to be the sole mediator between Sri Aurobindo and the person. Try to practice nishkama karma even work for the Divine and keep reminding yourself that we are just a small little instrument, quite imperfect, for Their Work. And if the Divine Mother uses us in certain ways to communicate something of Their teachings, it is Her Grace and not any special merit of mine. Practice inner humility, gratitude and offering your actions to Her to come out of this ego-loop.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack.

Today evening while meditating on mother’s organ music on fairy dance, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision it is a number 349 what does it’s means sir.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
