AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mind has been in deep distress for the last few days. There were different parts of me trying to justify multiple things. ⚖️🔥🌸🙏🏻 […]

These are very high-level summaries :

Part 1 – Leaving job even for a year would mean I am foregoing the financial responsibilities of the family and maybe other services that can be done through money. Do the Karma Yoga; make it a Tapasya even if you may burn in the process. 

Part 2 – Mother and her work in the entire world do not need someone’s money; if you are not the instrument, she can make anyone her instrument. You should continue on this path; it’s just one year. You will feel her beauty and can make the rest of your life the Karma Bhoomi. She is calling me; that’s why I have this thought within. 

Part 3 – Even if I leave this battle for other time, it’s like procrastinating the decision.

Part 4 – Exhausted of these fighting parts. 

And then sought guidance from Sri Aurobindo and Savitri. 

The page opened to ‘The Descent into Night’.

Is this a glimpse of the world he mentions? 

And then came acceptance; whatever happens will be good. This is yet another play and playground being prepared for yet another play. 

All warred against all but with a common hate

Turned on the mind that sought some higher good;

All that you need to remember always is that you are The Mother’s child. Have faith in Her and She will carry you through everything. Go through the challenges remembering Her and offering all the situations, circumstances and the inner reactions to Her. Let Her take charge of your life and all will be well. Difficult periods are often a preparation for as great a leap towards the future. 

With prayers

Affectionately, 

Alok Da

If the mind attains a Sattwic state, becomes a Sthitaprajna, or embodies the qualities of a Bhakta or Gyani from the Gita, can it be considered a true Divine Mind? What kind of intellect truly manifests and expresses the Divine consciousness? I would be grateful for your clarification on this distinction. 🧠🕉️✨🙏🏻

The mind of the gyani, of the stithpragya, is the mind unaffected by the world around. It is a mind that is inwardly concentrated upon, absorbed in God even though it is outwardly engaged with the various kinds of works. The intelligence of such a person becomes vast and free but it is not yet the Divine Intelligence that sees and acts upon the world and its manifold activities freely and divinely. The increasing taking up of buddhi, the intelligence ..

When I got to know about Mother and Sri Aurobindo through one of my teachers, I was attracted towards Krishna because I felt that he will accept me as I am. I read the writings of Mother. But never felt a pull towards Mother or Sri Aurobindo. But 1-2 years ago, my heart has a longing and I felt the word “Maa”. So now I go to Maa. Sir, could you shed light on this state? 🌸💙🕊️🙏🏻

Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are one but the approach is different for each one. Sri Krishna is the Divine as friend who counsels us but leaves us free to act or not act and as a result go through the consequences. He gives us freedom to be while drawing us quietly towards Him waiting for the moment when you are unable to resist …
