AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir in one conversation you said that Sri Aurobindo Ashram is for higher evolution, What is that higher evolution referring to? Also what techniques or books or methods you use to heal yourself of ailments, depression and diseases? What should one inculcate or fix in daily routine as to live in tune with the universe?🧘🌳πŸͺ·β˜€οΈ

By higher evolution is meant to make the Divine the centre of one’s life instead of the ego, to base one’s life and activities around the Divine instead of personal gratification, to be moved by the Divine in all one does instead of be desires and, eventually through it all to undergo an inner and outer transformation. 

I do not think or worry about myself. To live for the Mother and Her Work, to serve Her, however imperfectly is a I try to do. 

One should try to be in tune with the Divine Will within oneself rather than the universe.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Acha toh yeh kaise practice kiya jaaye

First one should read and then see if one has the call for this Yoga. The practice is primarily inner and psychological but it should be done only if one feels the clear aspiration for this Yoga. Until then one should read and prepare oneself.

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure. I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?πŸ§’πŸ“šβœ¨πŸŒ±

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Probably 4-5 years ago, I had read a book named ‘Immortal Talks’ by an author named Shunya. Last time I checked, the author hadn’t revealed their identity. So the book is about Hanuman and how He imparts the ultimate knowledge to this particular tribe of people every 40 years and the story revolves around it. You can call its genre fiction. As I read that, I felt such a deep connection with Hanuman. πŸ“–πŸΉπŸ›•πŸŒ„πŸŒ»[…]
