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
