AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It has thus happened that whenever I have prayed for proximal presence of someone or something, I have suffered and regretted…as things have taken ugly turns later on..even it’s said, ” Marriage was erected on the tomb of Love๐Ÿ˜ง” so it’s wise to not get married to the one you love..thus this way it’s not wise to marry at all…also I can easily find many unsuccessful marriages around. So now even if I seek the proximity of my beloved (seek to express my love for him through feelings, words and services) in life but I feel afraid to pray for their proximal presence in my life in anticipation of the bond between us getting ruined if that happens.

Marriages do not work out as we expect them to do because of the gap between the ideal and the strength and sacrifice needed to realise it. This is very much missing today in the fast food and utilitarian culture imported largely from the West. But the Divine is always willing to help us realise the Ideal. He is not the spoilsport to our happiness but the helper and guide and it is only rarely that he does not grant a sincere prayer, and only when He sees the harm that may accrue through it. The reason why relationships end up badly is not God but our incapacity to love. A love full of demands, expectations,ย  wishes and desires based on the need for pleasure or happiness is not so much love but emotional and vital hunger. So too a love calculating gain and loss is a business and a marriage based on social benefits is a transaction. These are as good as failures even if it succeeds by outer standards. So grow in love and try to make it beautiful and sincere. That is all that is needed.

You can always ask her specific things. There is always a way to cross check and actually see what has been done and what has not been done. It is not about doubt but simply ensuring that the work assigned to the team is ..

Why did the Mother contradict her earlier statement that Sri Aurobindo, in his previous birth, was Leonardo da Vinci and she was Mona Lisa in the agenda conversation of 10 May 1969? ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŒ„

It was certainly not the immediate previous birth where She mentioned about Leonardo and Mona Lisa. Her immediate birth in all likelihood was Queen Catherine of Russia.ย 

Mona Lisa was a passing remark that She made, not as something confirmed. Da Vinci was an inference that was largely a reasonable speculation. When Sri Aurobindo was asked about it, he neither confirmed nor denied it. He…
