AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My son asked me why God is so cruel? because he made so much suffering. I don’t know what to tell him.

God is not cruel but we misread His intentions and actions just as a child misreads his parents firmness or teachers strictness which is sometimes necessary to keep us on the right track of growth and progress.

Yet He allows us enough freedom of choices and when we misuse it then suffering comes.

At the same time when we go through suffering even due to our wrong actions, it is He who helps us to go through it and, if we have sufficient faith, even supports us and reduces the suffering.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri Krishna himself advocates. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak mainly of Aspiration, opening to the Divine, inner remembrance and offering leading to surrender. In fact these methods give quicker …

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, “ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.” Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. 🌑☀️🔥🙏🏻

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility. But to bring it out we are provided within us the challenge, the opposition to the possibility that we must conquer. Take for instance someone meant to realise true love will find in his life surrounded by some of the ..
