AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

There are so many increasing incidents of bewildering horrible accidents like containers falling and crushing the people travelling in the car,buildings collapsing(including airports)and nudging people to death, train accidents, road accidents, all of this is creating a certain tense state on how every moment of living is a danger in India, it’s so disheartening to see human lives being lost to the iron walls of matter, I’ve read that Sri Aurobindo made note of increasing technological accidents and catastrophes across the world in his record of yoga,what’s the occult view of such incidents cos people are getting quite scared and disheartened to see such visuals every now and then on social media and news😱.

Accidents and catastrophes are not because of machines but due to unconsciousness. Machines may create greater chances of accidents but their real flip side is an increasing dependence upon machinery and as a result, a diminution of one’s natural capacities. To that extent machinery has dulled our protective reflexes and made us more vulnerable.  But the way forward is to become more conscious, not only mentally but also in the body through a regular physical culture. As to fear, it is the worst mentor and often attracts what is feared. There are indeed some people who do attract accidents. But it is difficult to avoid people or machines. It is best to become more and more conscious and live with faith in the Divine Grace rather than fear.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
