AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“When least defaced, then is it most divine” can you please explain these lines from Savitri🤔.

There is but One Power that operates in everything and everywhere. But its gets limited and distorted in its expression as it flows into the outer world like the river Ganga dropping pure from the skies and crystallising as snow on the Himalayan peak. It drips in its purity at the origin but slowly gets mixed up with various earthly elements and gets polluted. 

In human beings this Power flows through the channel of thought as human beings operate from the mind. The mind, in receiving and transmitting, distorts the Power due to its fixed habit, conditioning, preferences, limitations etc. But when the mind becomes quiet, the ego does not interfere by its own ideas and opinions, the desire self does not distort due to preferences and wanting certain results, then the truth received through intuition is least defaced and hence keeps its original divine purity to that extent. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
