AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The previous structures of my life continue to collapse. Our family business has now closed, my house is for sale and my husband has asked for a separation. And through all the heartbreak, shocks and crises, I feel closer and closer to The Mother and the Divine presence. ❤️‍🩹☺️🙏🏻🪷[…]

Thank you for your talks, they are of such comfort. If you have any guidance for me, I’d be grateful.

I can understand the difficult situation in your life and send my prayers. Yes, sometimes this happens because something better has been planned for us by Fate. We have to wait and discover it and have faith in the Divine Grace that uses everything to draw us closer and closer to the Divine. Meanwhile, sending you words of The Mother that, as always, not only show us the way but also helps us walk through it. 

‘”At the very moment when everything seems to go from bad to worse, it is then that we must make a supreme act of faith and know that the Grace will never fail us.”

The hours before the dawn are always the darkest.

The servitude just before freedom comes is the most painful of all.

But in the heart endowed with faith burns the eternal flame of hope which leaves no room for discouragement.’

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/comments-on-new-year-messages#p9)

May Her Love and Grace be with you through it all.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes, it is my general observation that the present generation, for all its other difficulties, is more open towards the spiritual life. It believes in vertical progress and evolution and a seeking after higher states and greater possibilities is a natural urge in it.

At first glance, French statesman General Charles de Gaulle and Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo seem like an unlikely pair, yet both shared a profound, almost spiritual devotion to their nations’ destinies. 🗺️😊🙏🏻🌼[…]

Thanks for the interesting parallels between the spiritual nationalism of Sri Aurobindo and Charles de Gaul. Sri Aurobindo did regard him as a divine instrument in the Second World War. Of course subsequently Sri Aurobindo went much farther and deeper than the patriotic love and the prophet of  nationalism, and became the lover of …
