AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says the mind’s knowing is not knowing. How to make the unturned and ordinary materialistic nature- especially the vital- understand the significance of higher and deeper things that the mind knows? 🧠🕯️🌸🙏🏻

For the mind to truly turn towards the higher realms of knowledge, it must first learn to step back and disengage from its imprisonment to a life driven by senses, impulse and desires. It must learn to be a witness and not leap at appearances. This is the first necessary training.

The next one must learn to moderate the desires. One brings the desire mind under the control of the will and practices moderation and balance.

A very good practice is to Remember and Offer all one does to the Divine Mother. This weakens the knots of desires and makes it easier to overcome and eventually free ourselves from them.

Along with this practice turning the mind inwards and upwards by training it to an inner concentration, in the heart or the head, on the Divine Presence there. One can take the help of an image and a mantra for this. 

Try it sincerely and see the results.

Affectionately, 

Alok da

In collective life we have to learn to share. It is a very good training for the ego. True, some will use less, some will use more but then that is how life is, not mathematics but a yagya. 

Ideally of course someone richer should spontaneously give more regardless of consumption. But then students are all to be treated at par since each is preparing for the exams. Hence the arrangement of equal money regardless of consumption is fine…

She foresaw the future in a way when the gap between the sacred and the profane will be anyways blurred as we see today. One way, as we see in today’s rebel children looking at the inverted image of equality, is to treat everything as profane, without the sense of the sacred. This is the way of the Asura in man, an equality that ends up causing much harm by reducing everything to the mundane level. 

The other way, and I believe that to be much better, or the true and right way, is to treat everything as sacred since the Divine dwells within everything. The sky we look up to, the sun we pray to and the earth we trample upon are all sacred. The Mother is pointing out…

I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and curiosities that have been on my mind. I have a few questions on sadhana that I would value your perspective on when time permits: first, the deeper spiritual reasoning behind focusing solely on one’s Guru rather than opening to other influences. 🧭🕉️⚖️🙏🏻[…]

These are very good observations and the questions that arise naturally to any seeker. 

Fidelity to the Path is indeed expected of every disciple in all the paths that I know of. Of course, some turn it into a rigid sectarian approach that starts looking down upon other paths and seekers. Sectarianism is of course something rigid and narrow and often, just a step away from fanaticism that is indeed counterproductive….
