AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In your talk I came know that the initial translated book Prayers and Meditation by Sri Aurobindo was a very special as The Mother herself distributed the Self signed copies to some disciples and today I realised the immense value so I request you to guide and write to me๐Ÿ™.

So excited I am that the 1940 published book SIGNED BY THE MOTHER to SHANKAR is my possession. It happened so, that rushing thru the old book case at one old residence which was home to Late Shri Krishnanandji some kilometers from my place, which we visit every Gurupurnima, I grabbed this copy of Prayers and Meditations.

It is a beautiful Grace. To receive a book signed by Her, especially Her Prayers and Meditations, is an indication that She has accepted you completely.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? ๐ŸŒŒโš”๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ™[…]

The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings.ย 

Creation began with the first four emanations (Sat-Chit-Tapas-Ananda). These are the four original aspects of the Divine. Each being an aspect of the Divine acted in complete freedom sharing the absoluteness of the Divine. But this very sense of absolute freedom led to their being ‘apparently separated’ from the Divine Origin. There could never be any real separation. But each perceived the sense of absolute power as if independent of the Origin…

After terrible situations and traumas continuously, I have now turned completely against the divine and everything that stands for him. I hate everything about him, He is non-existent to me. He is nothing but an absentee landlord. ๐ŸŒ‘๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ™[…]

I can understand your anger towards the Divine because you have faced certain difficulties and challenging situations and circumstances. I am not sure if the mere act of turning against the Divine will help. If there is, as you believe an omnipotent Manichean God who inflicts sufferings then isn’t it better to simply try to sort out things with your own inner understanding and strength rather than open another front against the Divine. And if, …

I am 41, unmarried, and dealing with schizophrenia, but I struggle deeply with an ongoing habit of watching lesbian pornography for brief moments once or twice a week. Fully aware that this lower impulse contradicts the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I fear falling into an asuric nature like Virochana or Shankhachuda. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™[…]

I understand your difficulty which grips many persons. It takes time but with a persistent will and faith, especially opening yourself to the Mother’s Grace seeking Her help in conquering it, you will surely be able to get rid of it one day. Meanwhile keep your focus mainly on the positive side of the Sadhana such as cultivating Peace and …
