AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In the lines –‘Almost that day the epiphany was disclosed Of which our thoughts and hopes are signal flares;’, What exactly is this epiphany🙂?

The revelation of the New Manifestation that is hinted in our thoughts and hopes of a beautiful diviner life.

The omniscient Goddess leaned across the breadths 

That wrap the fated journeyings of the stars

And saw the spaces ready for her feet.

I am thinking this Goddess is Savitri herself. Or is it more a reference to Divine Mother who will incarnate as Savitri? Also, it is said here that the spaces were ‘ready for her feet’ but we soon find that ‘Only a little the god-light can stay’ and that ‘The excess of beauty natural to god-kind

Could not uphold its claim on time-born eyes;’. How was that it all looked ready for the goddess but turned out that she was not received well and had to go back?

It is the Divine Mother preparing for her advent. The spaces are the layers of consciousness ready to hold her power. 

The power comes but is unable to stay for long. The readiness is the receiving part. The inability to stay is the incapacity of material life and matter based existence to hold the Divine Power for long (having received it). Man is too small and weak and unable to contain the Light for long. He receives, but after a while all turns back into the routine mechanical existence. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alokda, I have been reflecting on the following passage from The Synthesis of Yoga: “But neither is that order or the execution of the universal will altogether effected by mechanical Law, but by powers and forces of which for human life at least human will, aspiration and faith are not among the least important.” (page-566-567) 📖😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

This is absolutely correct understanding. Very simply put  the Divine Will is not a mechanical determinism but a living conscious process. It will fulfil itself is the first most important fact. But this fulfilment is not through an arbitrary disregarding of all other …
