AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I think that Fire burns/purifies. How does it makes all alive. What for this “all” represents?

By removing the dross and the dullness it makes everything shine in its original purity thereby making everything come alive.

In other words before the purifying fire of aspiration is lit man is a half dead creature who leads his life mechanically and unconsciously driven by forces of desire and ignorance, as their slave. He is not aware of his own deeper possibility and highest potential and is simply a slave of lower nature.

The fire of aspiration burns away these heavy coats and thick dense coverings setting the soul free from the prison of ignorance. Thence it begins to fly and spreads its wings and knows its true home. This is called as coming alive.

It is true of everything. The ‘all’ here means all aspects of the working of our complex many sided nature. Passing through the fire of purification each of these movements now moving in a small circle of ignorance and mechanical round of habitual patterns assumes its original godlike motion.

Affectionately

I watched ‘The Odyssey’ today, and I must say it was an Absolute Masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some scenes moved me deeply—especially when Argos, the faithful dog, recognized Odysseus, and when Telemachus realized that the beggar standing before him was actually his father. Those moments felt profoundly symbolic and touched something beyond the story itself. 🎬😯⛵🗾[…]

The Odyssey and The Iliad are truly masterpieces of Homer. I have not watched the film but have read an English translation of the original book. Odysseus comes across as the key instrument like Arjuna in the Mahabharata. He is the favourite of goddess Athena or Maheshwari. Penelope is, if seen with the eye of an Indian, is a Sati, …

A few days ago, I had a dream where rain was pouring in through the window of my room, directly onto my bed. I got scared and stood before a picture of my Guru. Silently, I said to myself, “As long as Guruji is with me, no one can harm me.” 📖🙄🙏🏻🌼[…]

Rain coming through the window is Grace but for some reason you are unable to accept it and hence go towards your Guru. The Guru points out to you to turn towards Savitri which embodies the Divine Mother’s Love and to …
