AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

‘Nexus between psychic being 🌟and 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
