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

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
