AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The other day I was discussing with someone about Radical Islam and he pointed out that they purposely increase their population and taking over the world and we too should be doing this. Well I argued that even if they do that soon they will be destroyed by their own population as soon they will realise no point producing rats as I believe 1 lion🦁 is enough to set all this straight  But then he argued that look they are increasing the population taking over places, taking over governments by voting the wrong person, so then I did not know what to say? Please throw light on this subject.

If we look at nature, the apex creatures strangely do not multiply so much as the lower creatures. To those down below, Nature gives numbers. To those up above in the evolutionary chain Nature gives capacities. Lions, eagles, the king cobra, whales and dolphins, elephants and cows and horses, guerrilla and chimpanzee are always lesser in numbers than deer and goat, the sparrow and the carp and minnow or worms and mosquitoes and the common monkey. It is as if Nature either gives power to evolve or to multiply, either reproduction or new creation. That is why Yogis speak of Brahmacharya so that the energies of reproduction can turn upwards and transmute into the evolution of the spiritual being. 

In case however the lower creature that is more in number becomes an apex predator, a menace to others, like the dynasour, then Nature finds ways and means to eliminate it. This is because Nature is conscious Force and a misuse of her energies invariably boomerangs after a point. So let the excessive population of the Islamic world multiply. Nature will weaken the race in character and wisdom and strength leading it to destroy itself.  On the other hand let us not imitate these past ideologies that are foredoomed to fail and fall. When and how is the only question, possibly fighting within themselves.  Let us instead surge towards the future, evolve spiritually as our rishis did and grow in capacity, power, Wisdom and strength. One Arjuna is better than the entire Kuru army, one Bheema heavier than the hundred Kauravas. That has always been the case. Of course we should be vigilant but from a position of strength and strength is not in numbers as much in quality and capacity. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Are the processes of Purification and Transformation the same thing? I have a little confusion. In the process of Purification, we face some adverse forces that are mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in the chapter ‘The difficulties of Transformation’. Are they the same? 🔥🌄[…]

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

Can we understand Sri Aurobindo and His yoga with the physical mind, as you say physical mind never grasps the Truth in its highest sense. So if we feel good by reading Sri Aurobindo or The Mother, even that is from the physical plane, wanting a good, perfect physical life. 😅❤️‍🔥🦋 […]

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
