AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of your talks you said that after 1961 Mother was out of Her body but She had to undergo pain for some reason. Can you explain me a little clearly as why Mother who was the Divine had to undergo this pain in her body. I mean she could have avoided it if She wanted. But why She didn’t do that🤔?

If She avoided the pain, it would mean She was just like any of us looking after Her personal welfare though with a greater power at hand. On the other hand taking upon Herself the pain of creation with the object of transmuting it is Her very purpose of human birth. In fact the very act of assuming a human body is a pain for any Divine being. 

Pain is due to knots of resistance in the human body to the higher consciousness. So while personally She had mastered all pain way before, She had to now do it for others. Hence She took up the general resistance in human consciousness and forced Her Light and Force into it leading to the pain. If humanity was more receptive and open, less resisting then it could have been avoided. 

Basically being the Mother She took upon Herself the pain of Her children and bore it so that the human body may open more and more to the Divine Light and Force and Love.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
