AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Some people believe that what Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have said is nothing unique — they feel that all spiritual paths are essentially the same and only the words are different. They casually say, ‘Whether you hold the ear from this side or that, it’s the same thing.’ They form such opinions after merely reading a few pages of Sri Aurobindo’s writings and then give their verdict. What would you say to such people🫤?

Ask them only one question. Where do they find anything other than individual Nirvana as a goal? 

Besides, leave alone Sri Aurobindo, even within the traditional paths of yoga where the final goal is an individual mukti of some kind or the other there are disagreements on certain crucial aspects of Reality leading to the different schools of Hindu philosophy. Surely there will be common elements in almost every path but there are other elements that are unique and different in different paths. Even the goal of Mukti is conceived differently, say, in the path of bhakti, karma and gyana. This indeed is the beauty of Sanatana Dharma. To say that everybody is saying the same thing is akin to a blindness that says that Sun and Moon are the same as both are sources of light for the earth or that apples and oranges are the same because both are fruits. It is only the small and narrow or the lazy mind that is happy with a superficial reading that would say that all is the same. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack. Poets like Keats have a lyrical sweetness and beauty but lack vital power and raw force, which a poet like Browning has. 📜✒️😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Today evening while meditating on mother’s organ music on fairy dance, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision it is a number 349 what does it’s means sir.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
