AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Thou seemest to bewilder my intelligence with a confused and mingled speech; tell me then decisively that one thing by which I may attain to my soul’s weal.||2|| Really I want to know which one book, reading by which will give me the essence and understanding of all scriptural knowledge fully?Because every scripture attracts me. (Bhagavsdsm, Ramayanam, Bhavadgita, Upanishads) 📖

Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri contains everything. 

If, for some reason, you find it difficult, then simply read Letters on Yoga Volume 1 and 2

Or else stay with and stick to the Gita, especially the one that includes Sri Aurobindo’s commentary. 

If this is too big, then read the Isha Upanishad along with Sri Aurobindo’s Isavasyam Upanishad. 

If you prefer story format, then read the Srimadbhagwatam along with the Mahabharata.

My time is running out. I have less energy and less time. Want to get the maximum benefits in minimum reading.

If you feel this way, then instead of reading, just take the Divine Name, whatever appeals to you most, or do the mantra Japa, such as the mantra, ‘OM Namo Bhagawate.’

(follow-up question:)

Every scriptural Mahatmiyam says that’s The Best. Also, everything is sweet. Regarding Sri Aurobindo’s books, they are guidance of far-off Yoga. I am not eligible. It’s too high. So, here in my ordinary human life, by reading what, can I get fulfillment before leaving the world?

Take God’s Name. It is the shortest and sweetest way towards every possible fulfilment. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok Da, I have got attached to someone after a physical intimacy (kind of night stands – about 4-5) but he is not. how to handle it. Actually I thought I am in love with him…so I allowed all that to happen…else i happened to be someone who wouldn’t let anyone touch me. What should I do? I am afraid of conveying my feelings to him as I know he is not going to reciprocate. I am just always craving his proximity, which i know is my problem.. How can I be at peace?? I want to detach myself from those feelings i have towards him?

What has happened has happened. It serves no purpose looking back and feeling bad. Life gives several learning lessons. This is one of them and a very precious one. One needs to understand that the way a woman feels and experiences life is very different from the …

My niece is in Class-9th. She is facing some problems in her class. Students ignore her in the class. She is good at studies. They say she has an attitude. She says that she feels alone in the class, especially during recess. 🏫🤝🌼[…]

Children who are either above or below the average face this isolation in the class. It is more so if the child is inwardly more developed as your niece is. Instead of trying to change to find friends she should learn to accept herself as she is and wait till she discovers someone who shares her tastes and temperament. She will find a few …
