AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In her prayer of May 17, 1914, Mother writes, “One day thou wilt be my head but for the moment turn thy gaze towards the earth.” When a disciple enquired what the phrase “thou wilt be my head” means, She answered that “The head is the original conceiving Consciousness. “Could you simplify the meaning of all this a little further for me? 📖😊🙏🏻🌼

[Prayers and Meditations May 17, 1914: https://incarnateword.in/cwm/01/may-17-1914]

Head is the hub that conceives whereas heart is the hub that impels towards action. 

What the Mother seems to be experiencing here, in this prayer, is to withdraw from everything, including all action. She wants to be completely one with the pure Consciousness in its origin. But the command for her is not to do that for now. She has been assured that one day it will be so. One day, she will be completely identified with the original Consciousness, but for now, she must continue engaging with the earthly life. In simple terms, it is a call for the complete union through Karma rather than through withdrawal into the highest Gyana. It is the same path that Sri Aurobindo had taken, the complete union through Karma and later the fullness of the Supramental Gnosis.

Subsequently, the identification does take place on September 13, 1914.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Fortunately this question was asked to Sri Aurobindo though in different words. We have a clear, concise and complete answer from him on this issue. The letter is as quoted below.

‘In the Chandi the names of the four Cosmic Powers of the Mother—Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati—are mentioned along with others, but the name Radha is not mentioned. This is a clear proof of the fact that when the Chandi was composed the Radha-Power was not manifested to the vision of the saints and that the Chandi mentions…

Today I had a remarkable dream. I felt that something profoundly spiritual had happened to India. It seemed that Mother India, the Divine Feminine Power, had become firmly established in the nation, and that a deep realization had awakened in the collective consciousness of the country. 🗺️😊🙏🏻🪷🌄[…]

This is not just a dream but a dream vision. It is true to the details. Yes, Mother India is rising to reclaim Her Glory and redeem the world. The other woman is clearly the anti-divine forces whose time has come. They are angry at the rise of India’s glory and know …
