AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Please clear one of my doubts as it is not getting clear by the above reply i.e. is everyone has to pass through these stages of Pashu, Pisacha, Pramatha, Rakshasa, Asura, Deva, Siddha one by one or there also may be a case where one leaps directly from Pashu or Pisacha to Deva and Siddha without undergoing the middle stages of Pramatha, Rakshasa or Asura? What is the meaning of Pramatha? What is the difference between Pisacha, Rakshasa and Asura🤨?

Pramathas are beings who live by the senses. You will find plenty all around. Pisachas are those who live in the lower vital worlds and draw upon the energies, resources and forces of others, stealing and robbing them. Rakshasas are those who are destructive, violent, crude and abusive. Asuras are intellectuals who misuse their knowledge for furthering their empire and ambition. Everyone has to pass through these stages though one can go through them rapidly or slowly. 

Also,it may happen that a person takes many births but does not make much effort to rise above whereas someone with lesser no. of rebirths with his conscious efforts makes great progress and take a leap in his ladder of evolution so it may happen that a person with less no. of rebirths is more evolved than the one with more no. of rebirths? Please correct me if i am wrong.

Not necessarily. The lesser births and leaps are the narrow intense journey, faster but not richer. The other journey is slower but wider and eventually more complete. To each his own. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

All I see in these questions, asked by everyone, including both the right wing and the left wing is that they are driven by ego, self-righteousness, and opinions. I don’t know where this sense of certainty comes from. I want to ask you the same thing, sir. I see all of you in the same boat: holding strong opinions and connecting every random issue to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. I never imagined I would see conversations like this within this community.

I can see that despite the overgeneralised remarks there is in you the urge to do good. Hence I am bypassing all your judgments that are bit too hasty and too generalised, and enclosing instead a writing from the Mother in the hope that you will possibly see some new hope in them.

In the last chapter of Mind of Cells and Agenda it is written how the Mother had given instructions that her body will get transformed and to wait and not disturb it when physically it may seem she has left it. Then why did people not follow her instructions? Nolini da, Amrit da and others must be intuitively linked with the Mother so why did they not intervene?

I have actually given a couple of talks on this question that people raise based on Satprem’s personal comments in the Agenda which are often taken as gospel truth. No doubt Satprem has done an admirable job in printing the Agenda but we should not forget that The Mother herself did not want the entire Agenda to be published! In fact She mentions at a few places that we better not publish it. But Satprem went ahead and published it! That gives us a little hint about his rebel personality that saw everything from purely personal point of view and …
