AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Since you have recently visited USA, what is the current situation there ? Is there any hope?

There always is hope because God is everywhere. But the road to this self discovery of God and His intent in a nation be a stormy and turbulent or a smoother and happier transition. Right now the America seems to have preferred the stormy and dangerous staircase to the kingdom of God.

The situation is grim because of a two pronged attack or the net of forces from within. America has always looked for the enemy outside but its true enemy is within. Endowed with enormous material means, outer riches and the false sense of invulnerability that material power and comfort zones bring it has forgotten to mend its own faultlines in trying to correct others. Taking advantage of these faultlines we see on the one hand an increasing entrapment of the soul to machinery. An excessive mechanization of life inevitably ends up with a greater servitude of the human life to depend upon gadgets, thereby leading to atrophy of its inner resources. A hyper organised society that seeks perfection by machinery and promises its citizens dreams of extended pleasure is a hell that slowly eats up our mind and body making us hollow within.

On the other hand and perhaps paradoxically as a revolt to this excessive organisation and a capitalist society, there has arisen a revolting Asuric form of socialism that is destructive of all that is high and noble and beautiful. Though it wears acceptable garbs of social justice, its method is to commit worse injustices, it justifies crass inequality in the name of equality and embraces the forces of falsehood as part of its gospel of brotherhood. It is called the Woke ideology, a danger far worse than any so far.

There is no need to delve into knowledge of geo-politics? It is one profession among many. No one is expected to learn about every profession, isn’t it? What one must know is about the nation and the people where one lives, their roots, thought, attitudes, especially something about the culture, the deepest tendencies, the highest …

That is why Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak of a higher and lower Perfection. The higher Perfection refers to the soul’s Perfection, the spiritual growth from a state of Ignorance to a state of Truth and Vastness. The lower Perfection is the Perfection of the instrumental nature, of the mind, heart, life and body, to develop them through …

Dear Sir, why is that the ego anti-divine? Why does it is not naturally surrenders to the divine? Why is there division and a distance from the divine? Why does it have to die ultimately for the complete spiritualization? ๐Ÿชž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Ego is neither Divine nor anti-Divine. It is a part of human nature whose purpose is to create the sense of individuality. Individuality is a necessary element in human evolution. Its purpose is to create the sense of freewill, within certain limits of course. Freewill in this context simply means that the individual must chose from a number of forces impacting upon the person. The choices may be aligned to our deeper truth, swabhava and swadharma, …
