AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is the ideal time to read Savitri? How should I read it? I wanna know from the pretext and context of what Sri Aurobindo is speaking in every chapter, canto, line. Is there any particular series where you have explained about Savitri chapter wise? What else I need to keep in mind regarding Savitri? ♾️🤍🕊️📜✍️

There is no such rules in Sri Aurobindo’s yoga as they did not want their teachings to turn into mechanical rituals as we see in religions. The fundamental truth of their teaching is that God is always there in every moment, everywhere, in everything. We need not have limited beliefs to enter into relation with Him. As The Mother said, ‘a minimum of rules’.

The only thing one needs to remember is that Savitri is not a book but a living reality, a living truth, a conscious being embodied in the book. Therefore one should always approach it with the sense of the sacred. It is best not to keep any other book on top of it and not to mix it with all kinds of other works by different teachers. 

There are series of talks on Savitri including line by line rendering. There are also writings on Savitri to orient us with a little bit of background and the context. You will find them all on Auromaa.org website. And of course you are welcome to clarify on any specific line or passage anytime. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dreams come from different sources. The subconscient dreams are quite chaotic. Interpreting them requires intuition and experience.

It is always good if one can remember the dreams even if one cannot Interpret them…

I have a question that makes me feel that people compare and based on their comparison, they decide and come to their preferences; they favour them. And when I see this play of ego, of pleasing the other person, and when one understands that one’s higher-up favours him/her, one feels good about that closeness. 💔😔🦋🌾[…]

It is wonderful that you are able to see the falsehood behind this kind of vital love of praise which is indeed a kind of falsehood. Yes it is everywhere and it takes a great degree of sincerity to be able to detect it. But now that by the effect of the Grace you are able to discern it, you must try to live only to please the Divine and that means …
