AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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

Last night, I had another dream in which there was a small snake🐍 outside my old house, and with me was a friend whom I have met very few times and barely know. We tried to kill that snake, but it ran towards the drain of our old house. There, we saw another small snake, and both of them went inside the stone covering the drain. When we removed the stone, we saw a very large snake that extended into the neighbor’s house through that drain. I ran back and told my friend to step back because it was very dangerous. But my friend stayed there to kill it. The snake spoke and said, “How can I leave from here? I’ve been here for so many years.” The snake was very large and lived in the drain near our old house, with its tail inside the neighbor’s house. What does this mean, Alok Da?

The urge for motherhood is natural in women. It is a biological instinct strongly ingrained in us. If one ignores it for sometime it tends to pass away. Another way is to take up…
