AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Thought

Alok da, I have read in multiple places that The Mother asks us to concentrate our forces in the body part where it hurts or where we are going through some kind of pain and figure out why the pain has occurred in the first place. Also, I have read that we can use the strong parts of our being to heal the weak parts. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ […]

Concentrating upon the part is not enough. She advices us to use the agency of thought to open and offer the part that is in

I have been reading Champaklal Speaks, and I recently came across a narration where Champaklal Ji speaks about occult practices. It left me a little shaken (not in a negative way), but maybe because I have never really come across this subject before and don’t have the understanding to place it in the right perspective. ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿ“–[…]

Occult simply refers to a whole hidden dimensions of life, the layers of creation whose forces act from within and around upon us. To put

Brother, Vande Mataram. Brother, two months ago I told you that I was unable to practice Brahmacharya (celibacy), and you advised me not to dwell on it but to keep myself busy. I tried, but since then, even more impure thoughts have been filling my mind; my mobile phone is the main cause of my downfall. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿฆ‹[…]

Instead of promising to the Mother pray to Her to help you come out of this habit. Meanwhile do not brood upon it especially with

Sir, if thoughts are coming from different planes of consciousness and pushing us to act, then how can we think about a specific topic and think along a certain line deliberately? (Like reading a certain subject and deliberating upon it, planning about the future, etc). ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿชถ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ‹

Our consciousness draws the corresponding vibrations from the world around based on its state. Generally it draws these vibrations through affinity and then they get

1) If we construct a model to explain (approximate, if not possible to explain) spiritual philosophy, where a model consists of a set of assumptions that are accepted as true statements, such that it is beyond the scope of the model to test the validity of the truth of those statements using the same model. Then, other statements called hypotheses can be constructed, which can be placed in one of the 4 categories: provable/ disprovable/ unverifiable/ unable to be classified among the other 3 categories so far.ย ๐Ÿ“–โœ’๏ธ๐Ÿฅธ๐ŸŒท[…]

These constructs, theories are mental ways of trying to understand something that the mind does not know. It does not want to undertake the journey

Dada, how to stop thinking? I mean, continuous thoughts are coming and going regarding useless things. Sri Aurobindo has said we have to watch thoughts and not attach any importance to them, but how should we do that? Or how to calm our minds and think about our Master’s only?๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿง 

While stopping of thoughts completely is not an easy thing, it is very much possible to direct the flow consciously towards an object. Thus, you

I just listened your response to the question about ‘Positive Thinking, Negative Thinking and Thinking Divinely’. The examples you gave and what you said about wanting only the Divine Will to prevail, no matter what happens to oneself, I feel that’s what Love means, that’s the Ideal in my Heart, not what I’m doing now. How does one make that choice at each moment or at least at every turn?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ก

It is best not to think too much about oneself in a self-critical judgmental tone. Quietly one should keep progressing upon the path offering our
