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.”

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

Hip-hop is a form of singing. The lyrics are the content one fills in the form. Just as one may serve poison in a golden glass or nectar in a cup of mud, so too the two must be seen distinct from each other. Of course it is wonderful to serve nectar in an appropriate bowl of gold. But it is not always the case. 

As a form, Hip-hop brings a unique dimension by trying to break free from all forms and bringing a new possibility in the world of music more consistent with the pace and the consciousness of the new age that is…
