AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says, “there’s only one Will that governs the world and that is the Lord’s alone.” Does it mean then that the subconscient and the inconscient exists also by the Divine’s will? 🙄All the evil in the world “as we see it and experience” is also Divine’s Will?

Yes. It is how the Inconscient came into existence, by the plunge of the Superconscient into its very opposite. It was done because thus alone the deepest and highest divine possibilities could emerge in creation through all the seemingly impossible challenges imposed by evil and suffering which is itself the result of this plunge

Of course when we say that all the evil we see is the result of the Divine Will we often blot out all the steps and the purpose and hence it seems quite grotesque.

To put it in perspective, parents conceive a child who will surpass them and express all that they could not. The child’s coming is a cause of celebration. But to fulfill his purpose and realise his highest possibility he must go to school, take the challenge of life and wrestle with all the forces that lure and strike with fear.

So all this is part of a larger single plan and neither could be spared as part of the process.

Affectionetly,

Alok Da

Sri Aurobindo had also recognised it long back. It was because of this identification that She could bring down the gods in the Ashram atmosphere and in the consciousness of the disciples. It was due to her tapasya that Sri krishna accepted to bind himself with Sri Aurobindo’s being.

Yes I understand that. There is a difficulty with the Indian mind also because we are accustomed to a certain spiritual outlook that often misses many intermediary links that connect the spiritual and the material. 

These links serve as various roads and bridges or else as roadblocks, obstacles to our spiritual journey. In simple words our nature, meaning thereby our thoughts, feelings, impulses, motives, passions, desires, the entire range…
