AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In your responses, you emphasize inner life, inner growth, and the inner self. What exactly do you mean by these terms? And how should we do that🤔?

There is an outer personality consisting of our habitual reactions, habitual thoughts and feelings and impulses based on the immediate sensory input. This surface personality with which we are strongly identified as our self is largely based on the sensory inputs, identification with the body and the sense mind. 

But there is behind the surface personality, an inner being not identified with the body but by a set of thoughts, ideas, feelings, hopes, aspirations which exists independent of our outer physical reality our outer reactions and responses, our outer situations and circumstances. This inner being is open to insights, creativity, inspiration as well as high climbing aspiration and sacrifices that may even endanger the physical body and outer personality. And finally deep within the inner being is the secret soul, the seeker after Truth and Beauty and Good and Freedom and Immortality, in one word, the Divine. 

To discover the inner being, to live in it, we should learn to step back from the immediate surface reactions and rushing and leaping at every sensory input. Then, especially in moments of inner quietude we should reflect upon the purpose of our existence, the aims and goals, the hidden motives and ideas that move us, the love that moves our heart and within it all, our true aspiration. Thus slowly we discover our inner being. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes. Not only in poetry as you have rightly pointed out, but in everything, in the least atom and grain of sand one can see the working of the four aspects and the Knowledge and Power of the Divine Mother hidden behind it. ..

Today evening while meditating on mother’s organ music on fairy dance, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision it is a number 349 what does it’s means sir.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
