AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What I understand here is, in old Yoga also there was  Psychisization and Spiritualization although they were using this for Liberation only🤨?

Not psychicisation and spiritualisation but psychic and spiritual realisations except for some incidental changes in nature. If one reads carefully the literature and life of these Yogis carefully one can see that their experiences did not change their nature very much though it brought in some beautiful attitudes and qualities. 

My question is how Process & Consequence of Psychisization or Spirutualization in our yoga is different that from the old yogas?

I think I have explained this very recently and the letter must be there on the askalokda website.

 Very briefly, the main process of psychicisation is to first realise the psychic being through faith, devotion, surrender, interiorisation and concentration in the heart centre on the Mother’s Presence and, giving of oneself to the Divine Mother. Next one allows the psychic being to increasingly govern our thoughts, feelings, will and speech and actions. This orients our nature towards the Divine and gives rise to deep sympathy and compassion towards humanity, gratitude towards the Divine and a constant goodwill and love for all creatures.

Spiritualisation begins by realising the One Divine Self in everyone and everything by an upward concentration on the Divine Mother, a progressive quietening of the mind, elimination of the ego and desire Self. Spiritualization means the mind opens to the intuition from above changing it into a mind of Light, the heart changes into a reservoir or fountain of spiritual love and sweetness and joy, there is a constant inner peace and the will acts under the impulsion of the Divine Will. One rises beyond dualities of good and bad, norms and forms, and lives and acts in a wideness and freedom under the higher inspiration.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
