The food for the psychic being is the same whether in or outside Pondicherry. It is the Divine Name; whatever name of God with which our heart feels connected works like the superfood for the soul in us. Next are the Scriptures which, in the Integral Yoga, are the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, especially Savitri and Prayers and Meditations. Then there comes Meditation and concentration upon the Divine and his attributes and aspects. Finally, and the most powerful, are bhakti, or love for the Divine and works as service for the Divine. It is with regard to work and service for the Mother that the Ashram here does offer an initial advantage. But until then one can turn one’s everyday work into the Divine Service by remembering and offering all we doย to the Divine Mother.ย
The sign of the growing psychic being will be a growth in aspiration, faith, surrender and love for the Mother along with wideness, gratitude, compassion and cheerfulness.
Affectionately,
Alok da
