AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Reading Sri Aurobindo some times brings me a grim mood cos I begin to feel the immense labour of evolution in my heart,how much did it take for life to even emerge out of inconscient matter and even his historical writings in so far as what it takes to be a free independent nation and the test of world history that we and many other nations had to face. I think Sri Aurobindo in the Ilion depicts a bit of the tragic nature of existence but he also says in an aphorism that poets sometimes make too much of the tragedies of life. How to tackle these mood swings of immense energy and jest and the tragic melancholic contemplation admist this battle of life๐Ÿ˜ฅ?

One has to cultivate faith. It is the surest guide in the darkest days. Faith comes by reminding ourselves that there is indeed a Divine Wisdom, a Divine Grace guiding this world. It knows its ways and the needed steps. To trust the Divine Grace is the secret of all stability. 

Affectionately,

In life, our bond was anchored in deep spiritual sharing, and just before his passing, he had instinctively offered his pranam upon seeing a photograph of Sri Aurobindo.๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

How long was this, that is, when did your grandfather pass away? I was wondering if there was an actual contact with him in the dream. It seems likely. In any case it is a most beautiful dream, possibly a dream vision.

But how long will she be in this Coma stage?ย Her body’s some part is working and some not…Means what we heard: some percent of her brain is working…. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Surely she can pull through the Coma. But it is difficult to predict. Ultimately it depends upon what her soul choses. And the choice of the soul is not based on the attachments in the world. The soul is not attached to anyone in its journey through lives. Its only attachment is to the Divine Truth. Its only concern is about the progress it can make in its life. If there is still the possibility of some progress in this body then it may return. If not then it may make a different choice.
