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. 

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.

In Savitri, page 1, line 9 (“A fathomless zero occupied the world”), does the term “world” refer to the Earth as we know it, or to the entire universe? The ideas of the first creation (involution), the second creation (the beginning of evolution), and the third creation (supramental action in evolution)—are these concepts related specifically to the Earth, or do they apply to the entire universe?☀️🪷🌏🌌

The fathomless zero that occupied the world here refers to the earth that is wheeling as if abandoned after one of the pralayas. It is

The need to find fulfilment or satisfaction of one’s desires from one human being only opens the doors to further and further disappointment. However good and even faithful a human being may be, he or she cannot fulfil the deepest need within human beings. It is so because the thirst within us is of the infinite and by its nature, no finite object or person can fulfill it. That is why human love begins to pale after the initial rush and flush is over. 💔❤️‍🩹🥀

Therefore there are two main options before you. Either to accept the outer situations and the realistic human limits and instead of seeking the fulfilment

Alok da in The Mother with Letters on The Mother, under the chapter: Opening and Surrender to the Mother, and the sub paragraph: Real and Complete Surrender: Sri Aurobindo while speaking of progress in Sadhna through sincere, real and complete submission and surrender says, “It cannot be as long as you cherish vital attachment to family, child or anything or anybody else. If you are to do this Yoga, you must have only one desire and aspiration to receive the spiritual Truth and manifest it in all your thoughts, feelings, actions and nature. Isn’t it quite an impossible condition to begin with? 🤲🌸🙇🕊️

Giving up vital attachment is not such a big thing as we believe. All who seek for a higher ideal do that, let alone spiritual

Alok da, earlier it was very easy to see faults in others and feel angry about it and life was simple. Since sometime now, there has been a significant shift in this tendency. For every fault in others, there is a corresponding realisation of similar traits in myself. Also, while I am unable to control a lot of emotions like anger, jealousy, possessiveness and sometimes also hatered, but there is a simultaneous experience. As if there are 2 beings inside, something that quickly points out this mistake to the other part. I try to then surrender these tendencies to Mother and sometimes also write to Her. . Is there anything to be done about this?🎭🌓👥

This is great progress. It means that the inner being is becoming free from the clutch of outer nature and its habitual reactions. Keep turning

Sir as already mentioned I have only the Mother to cry when I have been through suffering. If a person in 50s have approached to marry me and I like some of his qualities and I am disliking others. I have taken wrong decision in the past by applying for Divorce and as I don’t wish to repeat it again by taking wrong decision; however unable to confirm if the Mother wants this man in my life or not, what should I do?💍 … 🤷‍♂️⬅️ 🧍 ➡️

While this is a decision that only you can take, I can only provide some general guidance in this matter.

First and foremost relationships

I again see a dream of Shri Krishna. In which a person gets down from a helicopter, he says something, then he moves ahead, then I see that he turns into Krishna, then I run behind him, maybe he was saying something to him, I don’t remember, then he turns back and looks at me and throws white Makhana and as soon as I pick up those Makhana, they turn into white pearls

Very beautiful vision. Sri Krishna has led you here and given you the seeds of lotus (makhana) giving you the assurance that one day the

I don’t seek to ask questions as asking questions feels kind of limiting something when there is river like flow of knowledge and peace, it’s just that in the span of few months, I lost my mother, and after that my girlfriend who seemed to be so perfect and loving to me, and asked to marry me and tell how perfect we were, and she too got married elsehwhere and now have a son. So the only thing which is making me move is the hope that in the end at least god will be there, when nothing else is left , but I sometimes feel what am I doing wrong that I’m not able to calm myself when I thought I was strong already and is there any steps I can take?🌊 🎒 😫⛏️

If you look at the events closely you will see that there is a Grace working to take you closer to your true destiny, –

Since my childhood through my Father I have been connected to Mother. I come to Pondicherry for Mother’s birthday for darshan day. Like you said I feel as if I am with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother very closely. After reading so many of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s book and putting into practice I still want more. Please elaborate whether we can feel the opening up or how and what is it one does in life to widen the opening?🪷🌌🌧️🌹

Opening comes through thinking of The Mother, remembering Her inwardly, reading Their books, serving Them, concentrating upon the Mother’s Presence in the heart, calling …

I have mental disease, I take one tablet every night. I want to do Mother’s Yoga. Is Buddhi Yoga and mental control possible for patient because my mind cannot cease to think and I fear a lot in every moment. Mother says fear is hostile force.

Is it possible to do Mother’s Yoga for patient like me?🌀🧠🌫️🕸️

Everything is possible once the aspiration has awakened. Even if outer circumstances are averse and the inner nature not ready, yet we must follow the

Police complaint hardly helps in family matters. You have to ensure that the child is never alone in his company and preferably is kept away
