AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It is wonderful to know that the sacred soil carries the divine vibrations of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. It makes complete sense that everything depends on the receptivity of the person who receives it. When this sacred soil is replaced, what is done with the old soil? 🌸🙏🏻 […]

The old soil is generally goes to the gardens. It is also sometimes given away. Is there a specific tradition or procedure followed in the Ashram for this?

Not a tradition, since all work in the Ashram has to be done in the spirit of karmayoga with dedication and devotion. There is no concept of division between sacred and profane, special work and normal ordinary work in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga. In the Ashram, all work is the Mother’s Work and has to be done with the same meticulous care, devotion, dedication and in the spirit of service to the Divine. Of course, there are specific people for each type of work. So here too, there are specific persons who take care of the Samadhi. 

Affectionately, 

Alok Da

Each soul brings its own destiny. Two persons living in the same house need not have the same degree of inner evolution. They may be not only in different …

I want to do that and become financially independent, but whenever I mention going to another place for a job, my parents deny and they say, “This is your age for marriage and what will society think if you go out?” 🌱🧭 […]

I completely agree with you and fully understand your need to travel alone, find your own partner and make your choices. It is the right thing to do and is the dharma of the Age. How else will one grow and discover oneself. 

But this will be very difficult as long as you are financially dependent in some way or the other on the family. The most important thing you need therefore is to have is financial independence. As long as you depend upon…
