AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What does it mean to be sincere in the yoga 🧘‍♂️?

To be sincere means that our actions are in tune with the aim and aspiration that we have placed before us.

To be sincere means not to allow thoughts, feelings, impulses to contradict our inmost truth.

To be sincere means to live according to the Truth we profess to follow, to obey Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and to govern our life according to the way they have given us.

To be sincere means to be faithful to Sri Aurobindo and the path he has shown and his teachings.

To be sincere means to make a concerted effort to lift all movements to the highest possible and to organise our entire life around the highest Ideal.

It is very difficult to be sincere. It needs years and years of patient practice, a keen discernment of the true and the right as against the false movements, an active vigilance to detect the wrong movements and to reject them.

One should take up the Yoga only if one is sincere about the practice and is willing to grow more and more sincere as one progress.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
