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

Daytime, when I am engaged in some work, I do it with dedication and surrender to the mother. Yet night time I can not resist myself about thinking a lot. How to train mind to remain calm and content? My service-related benefits are due for over 4 years.🌙🧘🕯️🙏🏻[…]

Night is always a difficult time as the forces of darkness are at an ascendence. But with persistence in remembrance of the Divine as well as forming some good habits like reading Savitri or hearing something nice and peaceful one can enter a quiet and relaxed inner state before sleep. Chanting a mantra when these thoughts assail and offering them or simply being an indifferent witness will also be helpful….

Today I had a vivid dream where I was sitting with my late grandfather, offering to read to him from Savitri. In life, our bond was anchored in deep spiritual sharing, and just before his passing, he had instinctively offered his pranam upon seeing a photograph of Sri Aurobindo.🌙📖🕊️🙏🏻[…]

How long was this, that is, when did your grandfather pass away? I was wondering if there was an actual contact with him in the dream. It seems likely. In any case it is a most beautiful dream, possibly a dream vision.

But how long will she be in this Coma stage? Her body’s some part is working and some not…Means what we heard: some percent of her brain is working…. 🕯️🤲🌸🙏🏻

Surely she can pull through the Coma. But it is difficult to predict. Ultimately it depends upon what her soul choses. And the choice of the soul is not based on the attachments in the world. The soul is not attached to anyone in its journey through lives. Its only attachment is to the Divine Truth. Its only concern is about the progress it can make in its life. If there is still the possibility of some progress in this body then it may return. If not then it may make a different choice.
