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

The Life Divine, Chapter IV: The Divine and the Undivine, Page 396, last line: “the concealed Divinity, that has lit the flame of aspiration, pictures the image of the ideal, keeps alive our discontent and pushes us to throw off the disguise and to reveal or, in the Vedic phrase, to form and disclose the Godhead in the manifest spirit, mind, life and body of this terrestrial creature.” – what is the Vedic phrase, its essence? 😊🙏🏻🌻

In our human consciousness there is the image of an ideal truth of being, a divine nature, an incipient godhead: in relation to that higher truth our present state of imperfection can be relatively described as an undivine life and the conditions of the world from which we start as undivine conditions; the imperfections are the indication

Why is it that many parents, especially those in their 50s, often glorify their past struggles, like working long hours to earn an extra $200, and keep reminding their children of the sacrifices they made to raise them? Why can’t they allow their children to recognize it naturally, instead of constantly seeking acknowledgment or credit and glorifying their struggles? 🙄🌻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻

Bringing up a child can be a very challenging task and sometimes it does require quite a bit of sacrifice. But the child has not seen or known this as all this often happens backstage behind the scenes…
