AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

When I look at Sri Aurobindo, my mind gets concentrated on his left eye and then that eye of his seems as if it is looking at me like Mahakaal (the destroyer) and I like his looking at me like that and sometimes it happens that during the day while serving, that eye suddenly starts appearing on my third eye and when I bow to him, then that eye starts appearing, that means it happens many times during the day that his eye appears on my third eye. Is this because of looking at his picture too much or is it a true experience?👁️‍🗨️🔱🕉️🔥

Experiences, however subjective they may be always carry a truth within them. It is just that the interference of the ego and desires builds a crust around their core and then the rational mind further interferes by interpreting them in its limited ways.

Yes there is certainly this difference between Sri Aurobindo’s left and the right eye. The left destroys or rather removes all that needs to go out of our nature while the right gives what is needed and should replace it. Together they pour the Divine Compassion upon humanity and earth to clear and open the Path. So your experience is quite right and indicates that right now Sri Aurobindo is clearing certain things from the past that stand in the way. 

AFfectionately,

Dear Alok Ji, can you please tell me how I can get rid of my anger at Sri Aurobindo and also how to regain trust in him? 🙏🏻💗

Trust is a very precious, priceless gift. Even among human beings it is special. But when it is towards the Divine then it should be doubly carefully guarded.  

Again anger is an extremely harmful emotion towards anyone. It hurts and harms both, the one who harbours it and the one towards whom it is directed. But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
