AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Lately whenever I read from the works of Mother and Sri Aurobindo, I understand that the writings reveals the truth to me. But if somehow, I speak with people who have a different set of ideals and values on the subject, sometimes contradictory, I feel that they might still be seeing only a part of the truth. Because of what I feel, I sometimes say to them to understand Mother and Sri Aurobindo or atleast, wish it within myself. I do not believe that the whole truth has revealed itself to me yet, and I also read the sentences, “When a thing is true, you can be sure that it’s opposite is also true””It (the truth) will manifest itself for those who are sincere and attentive” So, is my feeling and wish (as I mentioned above) coming from my ego? Or is it an egoistic desire? What should I then feel, except to keep walking with the Mother and Sri Aurobindo towards the union🙂?

Yes even the greatest and vastest Truth is limited by the human mind into a one-sided formula.  Hence the opposite is also true. What is needed is to be attentive in an inner quietude without preconceived notions or ideas so that the Truth may manifest itself according to the need of the moment. 

So for each one the Truth manifests according to the stage and development of the individual as well as his true inner need. But human narrowness tries to make a fixed formula and believes it to be universally true and wants it to apply to all. So the important thing is to see what is one’s calling but leaves others free to follow their own.

In human beings this takes the form of a typical ego-based, desire driven likes and dislikes, attractions and repulsions. It is evidently hardly love. At best, it is a disfigurement, a …

Looking at my Bhabhi’s cruel behaviour during my father’s last days, I am unable to understand: What am I supposed to practically learn from her bad behaviour and this entire situation? How do I stop these painful memories from affecting my body and mind? 🥀😢💔

We have to learn only from our behaviours. We are responsible only for what we do and not for what others do. This is the first fundamental lesson of life. 

What your Bhabhi has done goes with her. Each one faces the consequences of their actions. But by constantly…
