AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir this Chaturvarna secured us an order, but got distorted incourse of time. But now all freedom is also distorted, then what should be the foundation of order??

Anything that is imposed from outside without a commensurate inner change tends to degenerate sooner or later. It is what happened to the fourfold order and it is what we see happening to the idea of freedom. True liberty comes by a mastery over nature. Without this mastery we are pushed by nature in a thousand ways. Even the choices we make are driven by forces of all kinds that enter through doors of unconsciousness, often in a garb of high virtues. Thus liberty is distorted to mean licentiousness.

The true solution can only come through a permanent change of consciousness so that we spontaneously live by the Divine Truth within. Momentary glimpses of higher states of consciousness are not enough. The change should be radical and permanent that would make it impossible for man to deviate or distort the spontaneous manifestation of the Truth in us.

Affectionately

Whatever be the merits of sitting cross-legged from the physical point of view, its spiritual benefits are doubtful. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother never advised it. Meditation is primarily an inner process and the best posture is …

The curse of the gods and the realised seers are often a blessing in the obverse. The many Masters are the kings who will rule upon earth. Not bearing her own offspring means that to experience motherhood she will have to ..
