AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

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

I saw your recent video, where you gave the example of Champaklal ji, who walked out on listening to the Bhajans of Gods. I myself enjoy devotional music a lot. Do I need to stop listening to it as a part of Yoga? 🕉️🎶😇🙏🏻🌷

What was being refered to are the stock and standard Bhajans which hardly fall into the true category. But there are beautiful soul-uplifting bhajans with equally beautiful music that flows from the depths which is even helpful at one stage of sadhana, especially in the preliminary stages. An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate.
