AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

‘The progress in sadhana comes from the rectification of the inner and outer attitude, not from the nature of the work one does—any work, even the most humble, can lead to the Divine if it is done with the right attitude.’ -THE MOTHER. So how is the true way of having this truest or right inner attitude and outer attitude and rectification?? Example while being at home with children, cooking, doing chores… please describe!⛰️🌊🎯🧭

The first and most important, in fact, the most powerful, indispensable step is nishkaam karma. It means to do whatever work has fallen to our lot, either by choice or destiny, without worrying or thinking about the result. Yet it must be done well, with care and perfection, as a worship of the Mother in an inner state of Remembrance and Offering. If one can just do this and keep this inner state, nishkama karma as well as smarana arpan, then nothing else is needed for the inner liberation. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

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
