AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The Divine has created countless galaxies, universes, and billions of stars with planets, yet only Earth🌏 has human life. Everything changes outside Earth’s atmosphere, like the lack of sufficient oxygen. Why does life exist only here, and that too in such an imperfect forms? Is it part of a greater plan, or is it simply a mystery beyond understanding?

Yes, earth is a very special place that has been formed for a specific Divine Purpose. You may call it a laboratory of evolution, the evolution of consciousness as well as forms to embody greater and greater levels of consciousness. Ultimately the divine intention is to build here forms that can embody fully the Formless Divine in all His Perfection. The imperfection we see now is because it is still in the making. At this point the work is in transition from man to a higher divine superhumanity in a material body. The imperfection acts as a catalyst to spur the aspiration within us to strive for perfection.  

Affectionately,

Alok Da

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
