AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is it wrong for me to feel bad when I listen to movie songs often? I mean in hindsight my mind says you’re letting your vital take over blah blah blah but it’s just me enjoying the song and dancing to it. My music’s genre is crazy. I adore and soak in the Bhakthi songs, ragas, flute music and I know how to dance and enjoy the movie songs too. So what’s your view on this? 🎶🎵🎧📻

It is natural at a certain stage for those endowed with bhakti to cry at certain songs that suggest beautiful love. It means that love moves you deeply. The soul is very near the emotional centre and hence emptional responses get triggered by inner pressure and outer stimulus making it overwhelming, to put it bit technically.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Osho’s ways were effective in giving an alternative to marriage? 🏡🌿

Marraige is like a double edged sword. If the partner is right it can help create stability. If the partner is not the right one it can lead to chronic unhappiness, conflicts and instability. This is especially true of our times when the real stabilising factor, the family, is broken.

In the First Rik of the Rig Veda, Sri Aurobindo describes the nature of the Supreme as Sat-Chit-Ananda across different states of being. While explaining Nirguna and Saguna Sat, he uses phrases like “they nivṛtta, He nivṛtta” and “they pravṛtta, He nivṛtta”, which I find difficult to grasp. ☀️🕉️[…]

The Lord is both pravritti and nivratti, as the Fire and the Sun are both pravritti and nivratti. As Light they simply stand back and illumine the field but as energy they impel all things into dynamic movement. So too, the Divine as knowledge illumines all things with His Intelligence even without entering into them. But as power, Shakti, He
