AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Its a philosophical question but I often why did the creator create this world? Why did the creator become inconscient, became nature and now following the path of evolving towards itself? Is it for release of Ananda? As a life experience, we feel joyous when we progress. Similarly when the inconscient is growing towards becoming fully conscious, Ananda is released. Is that so?

These are different ways of saying the same thing.  By entering a state of complete oblivion and then releasing it gradually through a complex evolutionary process, step by step, means the emergence of extreme diversity thereby giving birth to different varieties of Ananda. So the Ananda of Oneness becomes a manifold Ananda. Apart from this the joy of taking the extreme challenge, attaining victory against near impossible conditions, the joy of walking on the edges of creation,  the Joy of fighting against every odd, the Joy of rising after every fall and returning after every failure, the Joy of daring the daring the impossible,  the Joy of a wounded narrow escape, the Joy of heeding to the Divine Call amidst the thousand voices and noises of the world,  the Joy of sacrifice and renouncing all for walking alone in pursuit of the Alone, the Joy of aspiration and the joy of union, all these and many more forms of creative Ananda are the gains of this lapse into the Inconscience through which the One Infinite multiplies endlessly in a rapture’s endless sum or to put it in the words of Savitri,  ‘the joy of a myriad myriads who are one.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
