AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo writes in” The Mother”, “But there are many planes of her creation, many steps of the Divine Shakti. At the summit of this manifestation of which we are a part there are worlds of infinite existence, consciousness, force and bliss over which the Mother stands as the unveiled eternal Power. …🔥🌄[…]

“…All beings there live and move in an ineffable completeness and unalterable oneness, because she carries them safe in her arms for ever. Nearer to us are the worlds of a perfect supramental creation in which the Mother is the supramental Mahashakti, a Power of divine omniscient Will and omnipotent Knowledge always apparent in its unfailing works and spontaneously perfect in every process. There all movements are the steps of the Truth; there all beings are souls and powers and bodies of the divine Light; there all experiences are seas and floods and waves of an intense and absolute Ananda”

Are the summit of this Manifestation, and the world of Supramental Creation, – are they different? Are there Divine Beings at the summit of Creation with form and name? Can you mention some Divine Beings who belong to the highest summit of Creation and some who belong to the Supramental World? Can you tell me the Hindu Scriptural names for these planes?

There are, 7 planes of the Divine Manifestation. There are three higher worlds (parardha) which are planes proper to Sacchidananda, namely Satloka (world of infinite Existence), Chidghana loka plus Tapoloka (infinite Consciousness and Force), Anandaloka (infinite Bliss). It is these three that are being referred to as the summit. 

Similarly, there are three lower worlds (aparardha): bhuloka (physical), antariksha or bhuvar or mid worlds (vital), swarloka (mind).

Joining them but belonging to the higher three is the Maharloka or the Supramental. It is nearer to us as it is the link between the highest Mind, the plane of the gods and the Sacchidananda. 

Yes, there are beings, but they don’t have a fixed form and name. Fixity of form and name belongs to the lower worlds. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I need to ask you something regarding teaching. There are some students in my class who don’t listen, who are sort of rebels. So whenever you tell them something, either they won’t listen, or they will start arguing. How to tackle these types of students? 📚🌱[…]

There are three main reasons for this phenomenon in adolescents.

1. Partly it is the nature of the Age we live in, an Age of exceptional freedom and equality. Hence the old norms and patterns are gone and none of the old methods such as fear, punishment etc work. 

2. There is lack of self discipline in the students as well as the teachers. The more a teacher exercises self-mastery the more he or she automatically exercises control over the students. 

3. The subject itself may not be interesting or else presented in an interesting way that connects with the students. One should be creative and try to find better ways of engaging them with interesting examples.

Silence is always better when people try to insult you. Speaking up, retaliating over personal insults drags us down to the level of the person who is insulting. We unwittingly identify with the other person and sully our consciousness. ..

1. As we discussed, I haven’t yet been picked up by the Grace of Mother Mirra in any manner that is transparent to me.
