AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Jai Maa Alok Daa. I wanted your guidance. A few months back, I had a dream where I saw Mother coming towards me with a luminous white light. But the problem is that I got scared and opened my eyes, and I was shaken. Why did this happen? It was a good dream, and I should have been happy to see Maa. What could be the reason for this fear inside me? I want to call Maa to my side again. Please guide me on what I should do.💤😴🌙💭

It is the ego-individuality that shrinks at the contact of the Divine as it is afraid of losing itself. It is not uncommon for the ego-self to react like that. But there is nothing to feel sad about it. Her coming towards you itself is a sign that She is watching over you. It is a promise of the future that will realise itself once you are ready. She is with you, never to leave.

Keep turning towards the Mother with love, devotion and service. Open yourself to Her and let all fears dissolve in Her arms of Love.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
