AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I wanted to ask you: Sometimes I look at my life and think, why am I so Blessed? What is the Reason? Especially when I hear some tragedies happening in other people’s lives, like medical problems or sudden deaths, or economic problems. ๐Ÿฅบ[…]

I feel why am I so luckyโ€ฆ And it is not that I don’t believe in The Mother’s Grace. I do, but I don’t think I have complete Faith, like I see in others around me.

Grace is always unconditional, or rather, it has its own logic stretching across lives. The human mind cannot fathom its mystery and its workings. Often, a state of Grace has been prepared in this life or another, which opens the doors to the downpour. But few can receive it rightly. What is however needed is to respond to the Grace with gratitude and, using the opportunities that life has given to us due to the Grace, dedicate ourselves into the Divine Service. Otherwise, we lose the moment and waste the opportunity that life gives us. That is all we need to do and remember.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is like getting delayed by the scenery on the way. Stay focused on giving oneself more and more to the Divine, growing in faith, sincerity, love and surrender,…

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read.ย 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
