AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Therefore, I turn to you for guidance regarding even the most trivial matters or decisions, for I currently lack the capacity to discern on my own, possessing as I do no true knowledge. To me, you are the Mother’s Light—a light in which I place my absolute trust. I understand that you never impose your will, but rather illuminate the various dimensions of a situation; yet, I humbly request once more that you tell me explicitly what I ought to do? 🧘🕯️✨💡

I promise to abide by your instruction with complete fidelity. Although total surrender has not yet permeated every part of my being, sooner or later I must cast aside the falsehood and embrace the Truth; why, then, should there be any delay? Even if the pain proves somewhat intense, nothing holds any significance before the Mother—nothing but the Mother herself and Her Will, regardless of the circumstances through which I may have to pass.

When everything is told from outside then it delays the progress eventually. We have to open the doors of knowledge which will open in you. That is why my suggestions are always indirect.

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
