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 me🙏.

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.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

However since almost whole of humanity is driven by the ego and desires, trying to make other’s happy deflects us from our true purpose. In fact it deflects other’s too from their true purpose. A higher, though …
