AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, what should I do with my current situation? I am in depression and I have almost no money. The future looks very dark. And I have become very insecure and hopeless about what to do in life. From my side, I have tried everything and all the renowned spiritual organisations across India. 😥👨🏼‍⚕️🤷🏼🦋🍃[…]

I also have the picture of Sri Aurobindo and Maa in front of me. I am praying sincerely to them. But I am not getting any solutions. What should I do now? You tell me something. What method of sadhana, prayer, or books should I study, or YouTube videos, to get my confidence back and be of some importance to the world? If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Also, with these medicines, now I am gonna throw these out as they have made me really dull and dependent.

You should meet a good psychiatrist in your city and take advice from him, along with whatever medicines he prescribes. Right now, you are not ready for the spiritual life. It will come later. Yes, you can always pray to God and read books that uplift, including books with a spiritual consciousness, such as the Bhagavad Gita and the writings of the Mother. There is no need to go to spiritual organisations and learn their practices.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da,This might not exactly be a serious spiritual question with depth but forgive me for asking this . One consistent pattern from childhood is that one sees is that in all the images and depictions that one gets acquainted of rishis,yogis is that they really have massive long hair. Shraddhalu ji in today’s times also has that look. But there’s this fear/tension of hair loss among young men today, it’s quite a psychological blow on one’s confidence and what not. And one opposite pattern has been that so many men of the homeless type or labouring class , even with all the malnutrition and what not really also have good hair and I’ve seen men young lads thinking about this being a result of life of low stress and what not. Does yogic concentration/metabolism have any indirect ripple effect on having a healthy hair cos that’s how all these rishis are adorned, I know it might sound silly but am curious

Hairs and Nails represent the inconscient atavistic elements in humans. They have an evolutionary necessity in animals but in human beings they are simply an extension of the animal body type. That is why there is in it a very strong genetic hereditary element. There were a number of very close disciples of Sri Aurobindo namely ..

But doesn’t marriage keep people stable also – or would they drown themselves in alcohol and drugs, as in the West, due to loneliness? Free intimacy is also a hindrance, right? At least it fixes your emotional, physical, and financial needs. To explore higher areas of life… or wouldn’t everyone just live like animals? Osho’s ways were effective in giving an alternative to marriage? 🏡🌿

Marraige is like a double edged sword. If the partner is right it can help create stability. If the partner is not the right one it can lead to chronic unhappiness, conflicts and instability. This is especially true of our times when the real stabilising factor, the family, is broken.

In the First Rik of the Rig Veda, Sri Aurobindo describes the nature of the Supreme as Sat-Chit-Ananda across different states of being. While explaining Nirguna and Saguna Sat, he uses phrases like “they nivṛtta, He nivṛtta” and “they pravṛtta, He nivṛtta”, which I find difficult to grasp. ☀️🕉️[…]

The Lord is both pravritti and nivratti, as the Fire and the Sun are both pravritti and nivratti. As Light they simply stand back and illumine the field but as energy they impel all things into dynamic movement. So too, the Divine as knowledge illumines all things with His Intelligence even without entering into them. But as power, Shakti, He
