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

I remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
