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. 

(follow-up question:)

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

Yes, I replied to the question. The brief reply would be that it depends from person to person. The Divine touch can and does initiate the process of change always. But in most persons it takes time to bear full fruit depending upon the faith and sincerity of aspiration. However there are rare souls who are ready and have prepared …

Please excuse the length of this email. I have elaborated—perhaps much more than necessary—in the paragraphs below, but it can be reduced to two questions: Though I don’t like the contents of RAP music, I am drawn to the form of it. Should I engage with it to develop the skill? 🗣️🎵🎶🎼[…]

Hip-hop is a form of singing. The lyrics are the content one fills in the form. Just as one may serve poison in a golden glass or nectar in a cup of mud, so too the two must be seen distinct from each other. Of course it is wonderful to serve nectar in an appropriate bowl of gold. But it is not always the case. 

As a form, Hip-hop brings a unique dimension by trying to break free from all forms and bringing a new possibility in the world of music more consistent with the pace and the consciousness of the new age that is…
