AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I want to know the meaning of a dream that I saw . In that dream I was climbing a mountain but there was a huge pit which was like a dark abyss. I had to cross that large pit and then climb the stairs to move forward. After seeing that huge pit i got scared to cross that so i chose another route that had easy stairs to climb the mountain⛰️. Mother and Sri Aurobindo writes a lot of thing about this abyss . Kindly explain some of their writing on this subject.

The pit is the abyss of doubts and fears that makes us feel that the difficulty in reaching the Divine is insurmountable. But the Mother shows us the easier way to climb the mountains using the stair of faith, aspiration, devotion and surrender. 

I am sure I have replied the meaning. Perhaps the email has gone into spam. As to the abyss, it is best not to be interested in it in anyway. It is all that denies and opposes the Divine. Read about the Divine and leave it to the Mother to take care of the Abyss. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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.

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…
