AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother has told that the purpose of life is to serve the divine. I currently work at corporate. Even if I do the work I’m meant to do here/results as offering to Mother, I am unable to reconcile this as my service to Mother/Divine. What is the best way for someone who is not directly in ashram to serve the divine ? Is contributing to any project associated with Auroville/Aurosociety be considered a better service to The Mother?🧭🎯🏹🌟

Serving the Divine means three things. First is doing whatever one is doing as a service to the Mother. It means turning work into a worship and a prayer by joining one’s aspiration for perfection in the work, by remembering the Mother and inwardly offering the work to Her, by doing the work not for any inner reward but as a means to prepare and open the instrumental nature to the working of Her Force. All this applies not only to the professional work but to everything that one is doing including bathing, walking, eating and any other activity. 

The other or second aspect of the Mother’s Work is to join, participate and collaborate in any work directly linked to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, either by giving time and energy or money for it.

Finally and most importantly the Mother’s Service is best done by consciously engaging in the Integral Yoga for the transformation of one’s nature. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not Darwinism but copy-catism if one wants to coin a word. The reason however is twofold. Partly it is due to the strong awakening of Rajas in a society that was, for a rather long time oppressed, supressed and made to feel low, in one word tamas. This is a resurgence of excessive rajas which will sooner or later stabilise and, given the …
