AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.ย 

This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.

I made errors in the past (which I think I did because of my ignorance). This led to my character assassination and my outcast from society. People started ill-treating me and humiliating me. All this led also to my psychosis. I had to cut-off almost all connections from people because anyways I was getting negative treatment from them, through all these years. I have been labelled as a womaniser. My crude nature still haunts me. I am attracted to and look at women, but sometimes people notice me looking at women, which leads to further character assassination.๐Ÿ โ›“๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ช

Human beings, almost all inflict suffering upon each other unwittingly because of the ego and the desire-self that drives us. Behind it all there is

I was looking up for the Mother’s knowledge on mistakes and came across this one: “It is quite wrong to go on brooding about the past. The true attitude is to remember that nothing happens but by Godโ€™s will and to submit to that will quietly. If you have made mistakes in the past it is by lack of true surrender and the only way to repair the mistakes is to surrender truly.”ย How can I know if it is a mistake or God’s will? What is the internal compass for reference? How can I know for what I should take ownership vs surrender?๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Mistakes are a language of ignorance that makes the ego-self feel that it is the doer and hence responsible for all that happens. As long

Sri Aurobindo writes in the Essays of Gita: “It is the true goal and the last sense of human living and the highest step in our progressive sacrifice of works. For he remains to the end the master of works and the soul of sacrifice. [p.133]” How does this progressive sacrifice look like in our daily existence? In fact,ย  how does sacrifice manifest in our life? It will be great if you can clarify.๐Ÿ›ž๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿฆš๐Ÿชˆ

The sacrifice starts with the shift of inner motive whence one decides not to live for oneself any more but for the Divine Master and

I wish I had an experience of Astral Travel, it would have increased my faith in the Mother. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo definitely discouraged it because of its dangers. Besides the work is in the body. By getting out of the body one doesnโ€™t get out of the ego. One simply gets into the vital body. There are other simpler and safer ways to get rid of the ego as well as of the body as being the true self. There are many other things besidesโ€ฆ.๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ โžก๏ธ ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒ€

Astral travel may give faith in the idea of other worlds but this too can be known in different ways. But the integral Yoga certainly

I want to ask, that when we go through tough time, we say just be strong in this time it is a test. God is testing you and you will come out better at the other end. But, for me, this test is going on forever. I am trying so hard to be better and do all the right things and be strong but it has been 5 years same lonely, painful and empty phase is going on. I am so tired now that everything feels pointless. How do I keep myself going? Is there any point of keep going? Will this ever get better?๐Ÿง—๐Ÿงฑโ›ˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒช๏ธ

First thing we must know is that God never tests. He is with us through all these tough moments with the full understanding of our

I had a dream yesterday night, it was night and was dark and maybe I was asking something to a man and suddenly his face started changing like an asura or something cruel like animal and he called his friends whose face also got changed. I shouted screamed but they held my hands and wanted to touch me. I shouted Maa, Maa then started saying Savitri lines. Then ‘Prayer upon his lips and the great Name’ saved me. It felt like I was out of the dream after I recited it. ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ญ๐ŸŒœ

It looks like some attack from adverse forces in the vital world, forces of falsehood and fear that you threw away with the help of

Why is it that, the people who are so intellectual, especially with spirituality or have an immense knowledge about internal mechanism of humans tend to shock me when (I don’t know what to call it as soon I’ll address it as ‘lower vital’) when they are still in lower vital that is sexually? They’re so well behaved, well-versed in philosophy and what not! Their answers gives so much clarity to me BUT when I get to know about their behaviour around women, they act as if they’ve forgotten what they learnt/preached!? Do you know what I mean? So, this ‘shock’ I have turns into disgust within seconds of me learning about it of them. It’s so hard for me to separate this side of their (lower vital) image to their other genuine, good, kind side. I’ve seen two such cases, very closely. So you tell me, what should I do with these people Daaadaaaa! You know how much work it is for my small, cute little brain and heart and kidney and lungs of mine?๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

In the natural progression of things, it is the soul and the higher mind that respond first to the call of the Divine. Then it
