AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

‘Nexus between psychic being ๐ŸŒŸand higher consciousness is the principal means of siddhi’ (letters on yoga). Sir, can you explain this statement in simple terms?

The psychic being is the core and centre that we must first discover. Right now the psychic being is held hostage to the lower nature, bound in the prison of ignorance, guarded by the jailer ego and kept in captivity under the spell of desires. 

It must first disengage itself from this lower nexus of forces of ignorance that keep us tied to pleasure and pain. This prevents the true soul, the psychic being in us from developing fully and expressing our truth freely. 

So the soul has to first disengage itself from this lower nexus by the practice of nishkama karma and cultivating equanimity. Simultaneously it has to connect with the higher spiritual and divine forces of peace, harmony, light, beauty, strength, wisdom through meditation, concentration upon the Divine, remembering and offering all to the Divine Mother, through Her Work and service, through growth in love, devotion, faith, sincerity and surrender to Her. As a result slowly the psychic being is liberated from the lower nexus and the life of ignorance and turns fully towards the higher consciousness and gets established in Her. It means being increasingly moved by the Divine Will in complete surrender to Her.

This is the key to the Divine Perfection and all else that follows.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Without detachment we remain attached and moved by all kinds of forces circulating in the field of human ignorance. We mistake every suggestion, every thought, every feeling, every impulse for truth and, in the process, land up in the thick maze of falsehood.ย

I wanted to ask you about the right amount and timing of sleep. Whenever I wake up, I often find myself confused between two thoughts: either I feel that I should sleep a little longer because my sleep is not complete, or, if I do go back to sleep, I later feel that I have wasted my time because of laziness. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐ŸŒ…โฐ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

The average sleep requirements vary between 6 to 9 hours with 7 hours as a good common ground.ย 

The best timings are to sleep an hour or two before midnight and wake up an hour or so before sunrise, say 10 pm to 5 am. It is best to keep a regular timing. It is also helpful not to wake up in the morning and go to sleep again unless one is sleep deprived….

I am grateful for your guidance in this situation. Alok da, I feel that remaining silent, offering the hurt to the Divine, and praying for peace within myself and others would be easier for me.ย ย But I have one doubt: what if the other person interprets my silence as weakness and continues to hurt or insult me? ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Those who indulge in hurting others are already hurtling downwards. They will continue to do what they are habituated to doing. Leave them to their destiny. By getting into a retaliatory fight with them you would only hurt yourself by delaying your journey and gravitating downwards towards them. Take their insults as …
