AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Invitation to Travel. Let’s cast off the moorings of the mind for the open sea.What is the difference between a mental solution and a spiritual solution? A mental solution to a conflict between two or more people will always be shaky and may become the cause of new problems, right? Seeking a mental solution is energy-consuming because we want to understand, and in order to understand, we can lose sleep. We think about it all the time! The difficulties encounter, the challenges are like goads. We go from involution to evolution⛵.

It is not just a question of consuming Time and Energy. It is a question of qualitative difference between the mental consciousness and the spiritual. The mental consciousness is a partial knowledge and hence it is termed as ignorance from the spiritual perspective. It scans the surface, sees one or at most few sides of a problem. Its vision is limited to the immediate narrow spectrum of Time and Space. Even when it tries to project into the future It cannot take into account the unexpected unknown forces that may come into play.

Spiritual intuition, on the other hand acts in a more comprehensive way. It has an access to those elements which the analytical mind dependent heavily upon the present organization of the material senses cannot. The principle behind is that there are higher and greater ranges of consciousness than the mind’s and spiritual life, where it is not restricted to inner peace, also activates these higher possibilities latent in everyone. Of course an inner calm and peace itself allows the mind to see better. But more than that, it opens the mind to a higher intuition and that is the real advantage.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is no such absolute rule. It is a general statement that the Mother made that the children born after 1960 are different. In Her conversation She didn’t mention children of devotees. The phrase ‘especially to devotees’ is in Udar da’s recount. Besides the word devotee is very loosely used. Most ‘devotees’ have a religous belief and a …
