AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I was listening to one of the talk where you mentioned about a book written by Anirvan which is on Gita. Can you please give the name of that book๐Ÿ“–?

Anirvan translated The Life Divine in Bengali. You are probably referring to Anil Baran who has written the Bhagavad Gita with English translation and appropriate passages from Sri Aurobindo’s writings. It is available through SABDA.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth โ€” as in Savitri, where the soul โ€œdrinks experience like a strengthening wine.โ€ Is this broadly correct? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ‚

Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and is offering the real cure. It is like a physician who empathises even when he gives a…
