AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Whenever I get nervous, my hands start trembling. It is actually extremely embarrassing for me as a guy because I may come across as a coward. It also happens when I do intense exercise. Can you explain the reason for this? I started to take Magnesium B6, as it is said to help. πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ˜°[…]

Additionally, pranayama has helped me enormously. I try to do it every time before doing a presentation or some other nerve-racking activity. However, there is not always enough time for it before doing something like a presentation. In such cases, what is the best remedy?

Pranayama, simple nadi shuddhi pranayama, along with asanas and meditation, prepare the ground for the development.Β 

Β There is also a need for a shift in attitudes and, more importantly, thinking of the Divine to whom you should offer all your activities. Physical workouts and exercises also help. Finally, call Peace as often as you can until it gets settled in your whole system. Whenever you get conscious of people and the world around, just turn your attention to The Mother and say to yourself that nothing and nobody else matters and all will be well.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, the Divine consciousness manifests into the world through Involution, and human suffering is often described as a side effect of this evolutionary process. πŸ€”πŸ˜£πŸ₯€πŸŒ„[…]

The first thing to understand is that the Divine who chose to plunge into the ignorance with the full knowledge of the aftermath of suffering and the eventual multiplication of delight, the manifold delight of multiplicity, did it with the full consent of our central being, that aspect of the soul that remains unfallen and hence always in the bliss of the eternal company of the Divine. The soul in us took it as a great adventure in which it plunged along …
