AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

While I understand that Helen had to leave her daughter for a greater work (though on the surface it seems selfish), I want to know what kind of compensation such souls, who have suffered directly for the Divine, get. Do they get some special Grace and do they get to be near the Divine as Avatars?⛵👑🦢🔥🏰

Yes, certainly. As the Mother put it, ‘there is a divine recompense for every struggle and suffering.’ Generally this recompense is in the form of an evolutionary leap. Savitri calls is as ‘digging a tunnel through emergency.’ Here are few lines from Savitri that reveal this subtle but profound truth.

‘He saw in Night the Eternal’s shadowy veil,

Knew death for a cellar of the house of life,
In destruction felt creation’s hasty pace,
Knew loss as the price of a celestial gain
And hell as a short cut to heaven’s gates.’

Of course in this particular instance we are not told as to what was her past and the future. We see only a little fragment and since the unfolding is hidden from us, our heart naturally reacts with pity and pain. But there is always a divine recompense and in fact, it is the soul that choses this passage, this difficult destiny that the surface mind abhors, to take a leap. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. I would like to understand whether this means that the souls presently residing in Sri Krishna’s eternal abode would be able to come to the divine world that will manifest on Earth in the future. 🦚🌍

The beings in higher worlds as for example Goloka are not necessarily souls. The soul is a portion of the Divine that enters the earth and goes through the evolutionary process and return to the Divine, either to rest permanently in Him annulling itself completely or else to be part of the higher worlds as for example Devrishi …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
