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

You mentioned in one of your speeches that people typically seek a spiritual path when they are dissatisfied with the world or realise its limitations. The first strategy is a little pessimistic because Mother mentions that if the same world begins to meet your wants, you might become enamoured or attracted once more. However, what if we are just in the initial stage, such as being unhappy with the world? Does it still serve as a launching pad for our spiritual development🤨?

Yes certainly whatever makes one turn towards and seek the Divine, even if it be for material goods or well-being is fine. But for this to last turn this vairagya of recoil from world pain due to disappointments, into a sattwic …

How to deal with people with whom you are connected in your daily life, you cannot avoid them but they are completely dilution and self centered and they can go on and on as how good they are, how superior they are than others and blah blah now how to react and they expect you to indulge in a conversation and one has nothing more to add? Sometimes I am shocked as I wonder are they even listening to what they are saying🙄? These type of new people I just don’t indulge more I keep any relations but what to do with the ones whom The Mother has put around you?

I fully understand and have gone through this phase in the beginning of the Yoga. Used to switch off inwardly, directing the consciousness to concentration in the heart centre on Her Presence, speaking very ….

It would help if you could clarity two terms Life and Thought, from the Life Divine. This is from the opening para of the chapter Reality Omnipresent: Since, then, we admit both the claim of the pure Spirit to manifest in us its absolute freedom and the claim of universal Matter to be the mold and condition of our manifestation, we have to find a truth that can entirely reconcile these antagonists and can give to both their due portion in Life and their due justification in Thought, amercing neither of its rights, denying in neither the sovereign truth from which even its errors, even the exclusiveness of its exaggerations draw so constant a strength🤔 (pg. 29)

Life is the means through which matter begins to aspire and seek, however vaguely towards the Spirit. Life is also the energy needed for anything, for the sadhana as well as…
