AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Should one continue to obtain fresh Blessing Flowers from the Ashram and immerse the old ones, or does the Mother’s power remain eternally present within all the old Blessing Flowers?๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŒ

Please provide your guidance. In a home or place where numerous Blessing Flowers of Sri Ma and Sri Aurobindo are kept, is it still possible for opposing or negative forces to reside there in any form? Does the protective shield of Sri Ma and Sri Aurobindo remain within these Blessing Flowers for an indefinite period, or only for a limited number of years?

Negative or hostile forces can be anywhere. They were there near The Mother to try and hurt Her. They came and fractured Sri Aurobindo’s leg in a moment when he was totally preoccupied with protecting The Mother when She was fully engaged in the occult dimension of the Second World War. They were there all around Sri Krishna chasing him even before his birth. They were there in Ksheersagar and in Kailash, even entered Brahmloka, harrased greatest of Rishis in the Ashrams of old. In fact Sri Aurobindo went on to say that to call and convert the Asuras was part of his work.ย 

There is nothing which lasts forever on the material plane. But we can activate the latent power by our faith and even turn it into an invincible armour by keeping a steady faith in the Divine by whose Grace we received something.ย 

One should surely come to the Ashram, not just to renew the blessings but to recharge the aspiration and increase the opening. 

Finally it is faith that works the miracle. If there is faith then even a blade of grass can become a brahmastra, a bit of mud from the Ashram carry a special power. It is faith that is most important as it can awaken the Divine Power latent in everything. 

Affectionately

Aspiration is something that rises from the heart. It can take the form of seeking for the Divine, a longing that grows and turns it into a single aim, a cry that takes the form of a wordless prayer. It is a fire that burns in the heart, gradually spreading from there to the…
