AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The more I see the world, there is an anguish that grows in me at times. I am taught to pray to the divine in those situations. I was asking the mother to help me be conscious of my life purpose, after which, I feel more and more identified with Earth as a being, and so recently, there is an inner need in me to pray for the manifestation of divine will on Earth. I even feel like praying and offering certain natures of certain people I know to the mother for the best for them to happen. Is this okay? To pray to the mother for others, to pray or aspire for increasing the intensity of Earth’s aspiration? Somewhere mother has said that it is better if the person needing change prays on their own instead of someone else praying for them or am I misunderstanding something here? Thank you๐Ÿ™‚

To pray for all, even for the wicked and the wretch, is indeed the highest of prayers. Such universal prayers are described in the Bhagawat and the Upanishads. The Mother’s Prayers and the boons that Savitri seeks for Earth and men as revealed by Sri Aurobindo are a living testimony of such prayers and their great value for the Divine.  It shows a wideness of inner consciousness and an aspiration for the Divine Manifestation upon earth which is directly in line with the Mother’s Yoga. It is indeed a beautiful Grace to have such a rarest of rare aspiration. 
Affectionately,

Alok Da

I understand the difficulty. The Vedas speak of basically two operating systems to which we are subject. The first is when we are being schooled in Ignorance, Avidya. Then we operate through the ego which is actually like a shell within which our true soul is developing from its seed state to a realised divinity. During this phase we are given a…

Mother had a vision of Nagas guarding wealth. Who are these people? Where do they live? Mother asked him, “Will you allow me to enter?” He was guarding so much wealth. She described him as tall and stunning, but he said, “If I allow you, they will kill me. You have to first control the sex instinct among human beings. What is this?” ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ[…]

This question is connected to my own sincerity. I find myself in situations where I have to compromise my sincerity and integrity and speak lies for the sake of maintaining my relationships with my friends. I canโ€™t break the relations. But it becomes very hard and extremely difficult for me to be in a situation that needs sincerity and integrity both for me and my friends. ๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿ˜ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿซ‚[…]

Sincerity is a most rare and difficult quality to acquire. Besides it is in relation to the Divine that we must grow sincere. What you mean probably is honesty with regard to friends. If …
