AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo writes in his book Essays Divine and Human: “Matter, Life, Mind, Supermind or Gnosis, and beyond these the quadruple power of a supreme Being-Consciousness-Force-Bliss—these are the grades of the evolutionary ascent from inconscience to the Superconscience.” (pg.249) He also writes that “The evolution of the earth nature is not finished because it has manifested only three powers out of the seven-fold scale of consciousness that is involved in manifested Nature. It has brought out from its apparent inconscience only the three powers of Mind and Life and Matter.” (pg.244) Can we infer from this that after Supermind, the luminous planes of Sat, Chit and Ananda will be evolving here on earth🧐? Of course, the question is mainly to know if I have correctly comprehended Sri Aurobindo’s vision of evolution and its fulfilment here on earth

Absolutely so. After the Supramental Manifestation and the Supramental body there will be the Manifestation of Bliss and the bliss body. Sri Krishna worked for that eventual fulfilment but the base of Truth Consciousness has to be first firmly established upon earth. 

The difference however will be that right now this evolutionary emergence is a painful process involving much struggle due to the hard grip of ignorance.  With the Supramental Manifestation the further emergence will be a conscious happy process undertaken in freedom and delight. Whether and what way the further Manifestation beyond the Bliss Self will take place is difficult to say since creation has begun with delight. With the full recovery of the delight of existence there would likely be an unending play of existence and consciousness in countless bodies of bliss, the Maharasa envisaged by the Hindu mystics. 

Affectionately,

I have a question: is it bad if one of my goals is to earn money? I want to do so because I don’t have to rely on anybody else, and I can do things I would want to do and do my Bhakti and Yoga, and no one could stop me just because I don’t have enough money to take care of myself and my family. I would not want a lot of money, just enough to live comfortably and also help others with that. 💰😊🙏🏻🌼

There is nothing wrong in earning money. On the contrary it is much better to earn money through one’s own efforts than rely on someone else for it. But money cannot be a goal. It is simply a means to buy certain outer comforts. It can also be used to make the outer life more beautiful and even to help the Divine Work. The lowest …

I was in the middle of a dream where I heard a voice saying, “Wrap the blanket properly up to the soles of your feet.” Hearing that voice, I suddenly woke up. Right in front of my bed, a photo of Mata ji was placed. As soon as I woke up, I felt as if a crying sound was coming from the photo and the entire photo was shaking. Why did this happen? 🖼️😶‍🌫️🌸🦋[…]

These images generally arise from the subconscient. There might be some forces at play trying to create mischief. It is difficult to say where these forces came from or what opened the doors. The Mother certainly does not cry. The seeing of tears and the sound …

First I had a type of belief system like nothing wrong can happen to me because Maa is with me, now it’s like anything can happen to me, but I believe Maa is with me and about fear I have fear like fear for maintaining position in class, fear like what others will think about me in each steps, fear like fear to indulge in a conflict or the recent issues, fear like what if I died living an ordinary life. ☺️🌼🚶🏼‍♂️🦋[…]

I don’t know why you switched from nothing can happen to everything can happen. Surely the Divine Grace protects else this world would have been destroyed 10 times over by human beings. Of course the Divine Grace does not boast about how much and how many times it has saved and helped every creature regardless of …
