AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of the answer you advised us to approach one of the main four gods. What about the goddess?What if the main four aspects of the divine is represented as follow:-1) Sat / Brahma 2) Chit-Tapas / Shiva- Shakti 3) Anand / Vishnu. The above looks more appropriate to me based on the Chapter 12 – Vishnu, the All-Pervading Godhead of Part 2 of The Secret of the Veda๐Ÿค”.

If this appeals to you, it is fine. Sri Krishna would not object to it. However here is what Sri Aurobindo himself has written. 

‘The One is Four for ever in his supramental quaternary of Being, Consciousness, Force and Ananda.

Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, these are the eternal Four, the quadruple Infinite.

Brahma is the Eternal’s Personality of Existence; from him all is created, by his presence, by his power, by his impulse.

Vishnu is the Eternal’s Personality of Consciousness; in him all is supported, in his wideness, in his stability, in his substance.

Shiva is the Eternal’s Personality of Force; through him all is created, through his passion, through his rhythm, through his concentration.

Krishna is the Eternal’s Personality of Ananda; because [of] him all creation is possible, because of his play, because of his delight, because of his sweetness.

Brahma is Immortality, Vishnu is Eternity, Shiva is Infinity; Krishna is the Supreme’s eternal, infinite, immortal self-possession, self-issuing, self-manifestation, self-finding.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da
