AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says to “rise above falsehood, live in the pure Light of your soul and you will be close, very close to the Lord”. How can one rise above falsehood? What are the practical means of doing that😳?

Falsehood is all that creates division in our consciousness, and the last of these divisions is the division between God and the World. 

The practical way to come out of falsehood, to go deeper into our soul and come closer to the Lord is first to regard ourselves and the world as belonging to the Divine. The next logical step is to discover the Divine Truth in everything, behind everything by an aspiration for the Divine Truth and Light and Peace and Love and Harmony and Joy. It also means to do our work as worship and service of the Divine. 

As to the   choice of action, in a general way we can say that all that leads to or creates doubts, division, confusion, disharmony, restlessness, agitation comes from falsehood whereas all that leads to and builds faith, hope, harmony, peace, unity comes from Truth.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
