AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I’ve been pondering on the question why you get attracted to certain people as friends. Somebody quoted mother as saying that it is because people recognise each other in the subtle physical. Can you explain this🤔?

The Mother spoke of affinities. There can be several levels of affinity that is instinctively and intuitively felt. There is psychic affinity that goes through several births between beings who carry a similar spiritual aspiration. This is of course the strongest as also a spiritual affinity that is drawn towards similar conceptions of the Divine. There is mental affinity between the structure and patterns of thoughts and a nervous vital affinity between the subtle physical envelope and the general working of the life energy. Finally there is physical affinity, a spontaneous sense of harmony between the physical substance of two people. All this is felt by an intrinsic subtle physical sense in us. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
