AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes I feel a peace in my lower abdominal part, but it is not everlasting for a long time. Due to this reason, the central pressure of my heart also does not stay permanently, which gives peace, wideness, bhakti and the feeling of fearlessness. Why is this happening? ❤️‍🔥😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Is there any process of this yoga? But now, when difficulties arise, I smile in every situation. Every time I recite “All this belongs to the Mother”, in this recitation I feel a strong obstacle arising, but don’t affect the peace in the heart. Many types of difficulties come, but something in my sense feels that if the difficulties come, then they must be offered to the mother so that they will be solved. Is my experience right? How to totally get rid of these difficulties?

Difficulties are part of the journey and the work of the Yoga of transformation.  It is a long process and one has to go through it. Otherwise, one can stay content with the psychic experiences as in the old traditional yogas. There is no why to it. It is nature and either we accept it as it is or try to change it. Changing it puts pressure over it and hence it reacts. The change comes slowly through the action of the Mother’s Force in the different parts. One has to go through the process with faith and endurance.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Growing up, I always felt that sex was something that should happen after marriage. But honestly, it was never really about traditional or moral beliefs for me. It was more because I have been doing sadhana of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, and somewhere within me, I always wondered—why should an emotion like lust or sexual desire come into this? 💞🪷 […]

These are three different things that must be seen each in its own right.

Firstly, sex and yoga: as far as most yogas are concerned, including Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga sex is seen as an obstacle. This is not so much because of moral reasons but simply because spiritual life means turning the consciousness and vital energy higher upwards and deeper. Sex, on the other hand pulls it outwards and downwards. This is so because of the pull towards the body. Bodily and vital pleasures are at crossroads with the higher aspiration and spiritual Ananda….

I read the following advice from the Mother to an artist learning to paint: Would you like me to draw birds or animals sometimes? If you like—but drawings from nature are best for learning. I have done this picture without anybody’s help. How is it? Will I be able to learn? ✍️🎨✨ […]

Poetry requires an inner hearing, the faculty of  inspiration so to say, just as painting requires an inner vision, a faculty that reveals what is hidden in the form. The technique is a framework which can be developed by practice. The inspiration comes through an inner…

I believe that reading The Secret of the Vedas by Sri Aurobindo gives us the real insight into the meaning of the Vedas and nothing more is needed for spiritual practitioners or for those who are looking to gain genuine spiritual insights. 📚🕉️[…]

The Secret of the Vedas was my first book too along with The Synthesis of Yoga. While it is no doubt a precious treasure (I had felt floating on cloud nine while reading it), it is certainly not enough for the Integral Yoga. Besides, apart from the conceptual understanding, the actual details of the practice for today’s practitioners is …
