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

When Sri Krishna played Raas Leela with Gopis who were married and had left their husbands and children, He was hardly 10 years old. How could they be roused by Krishna’s beauty with romantic feelings towards a child who is like their son, if not like a younger brother? 🪈🙏🏻 […]

The Bhagawat Purana is written by a Rishi no less than the calibre of Vyasa. The entire Purana is profound in its depth, spiritual and occult understanding. To take it literally is to rob it of its real sense. The gopa and gopis are the divine souls who came down with Sri Krishna to open the path of bhakti, of utter abandonment and surrender to the Divine for man to follow…

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
