AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo

If Divine Mother can help us and give us thrice the dose required, then why is there so much suffering on earth? What does She do when hundreds and thousands of children die from hunger and poverty every year? Where is She when thousands of our mothers and sisters are raped and tortured mercilessly? πŸ˜©πŸ’”πŸ«‚πŸ₯€[…]

One can fully understand the space from which this question comes. When we look at this world in all its grim and sordid aspects (and

Can you please explain the difference between Supramental Consciousness and Sat-Chit-Ananda Consciousness? If Sat-Chit-Ananda is the highest plane of consciousness, why, instead of descending that Consciousness, did Sri Aurobindo pull Supramental Consciousness? ❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸͺπŸ€”πŸͺ·

Sacchidananda is indeed the highest plane of consciousness in terms of the hierarchical arrangement. It is also the One Infinite and Eternal that is everywhere

I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects. I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒΈπŸŒ[…]

Your aspiration as well as anguish is quite understandable. Yes, there are so many things in the writings of Sri Aurobindo that would be of

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯

Respected Sir, Reference is CWSA Volume 28 Page 499, subject “Krishna as an Avatar” Answer No.3. Question – If Krishna was an overmind “God”, that means he was not an incarnation, not the Divine, but somebody else who claimed to be the Divine – i.e., he was a god who somehow thought he was God. Not understood, what Sri Aurobindo wants to say about Krishna?πŸͺˆπŸ¦šπŸ’™πŸ›ž

There is a gentle sarcasm in it. The disciple has asked a question

“Why is it said that Krishna is an Overmind God?’

Had Sri Aurobindo seen the future road map of the Supramental Force descending to Earth’s atmosphere, after the 1st meeting with The Mother? Or did it come on the way? If he had already seen that, then why didn’t he explain all these to the Mother? Then Mother would stay there permanently instead of returning & second coming events &…, as I have not read the 1st meeting of Sri Aurobindo with The Mother yet. β˜€οΈπŸͺ·πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈβœ¨πŸŒ

Both Sri Aurobindo and The Mother were independently conscious of the work and the mission of establishing the Divine Consciousness here upon earth. They knew

Could you please suggest me any Book by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother which I can recommend to them or say to all highly educated contemporary young adults having ingrained analytical thinking based on logical reasoning without any spiritual bent of mind?? Meanwhile, I will continue pray to The Mother for all these youngsters and finally trust Divine Grace which alone can infuse aspiration into their hearts. πŸŒ…πŸ–‹οΈπŸ¦πŸŒΈ

There are some good short compilations from the writings that work best. It will depend upon the kind of interest that the children have. A
