AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

When you get a chance, can you please elaborate😳 on the below lines further. Thank you Alok da, “….The power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a tempter on the path of the work, and there is always a risk of falling into its trap, for it gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in our first eagerness to do the work well, we let ourselves be carried away to make use of this power. But very soon it deflects all our action from the right course and introduces a seed of illusion and death into what we do.”

The Vital enjoys action for the sake of action. Its impetus is desire of one kind of the other. Though it starts with much apparent enthusiasm and sometimes fanfare. But the virus of desire and ambition soon creeps and usurps the action and diverts the action to personal purposes or brings a terrible mixture. Hence the advice of the Mother to distrust it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have used these terms extensively in relation to the Evolution of Beings. What is the difference in their fundamental meaning? Does Involution happen first and then Evolution? Or do both processes occur simultaneously? 😊🙏🏻🪷🌄🪐

Involution is the result of the Divine Consciousness limiting itself through selective concentration and thereby entering into a state of ignorance and eventually Inconscience. Since the Divine is infinite the Inconscience too is infinite. 

Evolution is what begins after the process of Involution. It is the progressive release of the Divine Consciousness..
