AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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.

I have a very weird relationship with my parents when it comes to their relationships with their parents.

They do not fit in my circle of people and i have communicated to my parents clearly that i will only have a cordial relationship with them, in terms of only greeting when we meet. I prefer to keep my wife and kid away from the grand parents influence, however my father’s expectation on this is more and we have a tiff every time an incident happens. I have come to terms with this situation, however how do I communicate this to my parents clearly and again😠?

Communication is mainly meant to build bridges by expressing what is going on within oneself. The purpose is to help build a bond of deeper understanding.  But if this is not possible or intended then it is…
