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

Yes, of course, reading and writing prepare the ground, they are not a replacement or substitute for direct experience which comes through the meeting of Aspiration and the Grace.ย

Jai Maa. Today I was reading the Two Natures chapter from Essays on the Gita and there Sri Aurobindo explains that the desire in consonance with dharma does not lead to any bondage, while there he also mentions that desire born of Rajogun leads to bondage and misery. ๐Ÿ“–โœ’๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒป[…]

He has already answered this as you have correctly indicated, through the svabhava. Svabhava is the Divine Impulsion in creation that generates karma. It is the swabhava of the…
