AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why does everybody around me e.g. my kids in my school or kids around my society and many other people think they are very smart? And some people think that they are the boss? Where does this mentality come😣?

There are all kinds of children and people in the world. What they are is their business and we should not worry about them especially why they are this way or that way. Most of us pick up things from the home environment. What is however important to know is how to deal with such people. 

We should never let people bully us nor get over impressed and try to imitate and become like others. If people try to bully us we can quietly move away saying that they should mind their own business.  Meanwhile we should keep developing ourselves, our qualities and capacities, our strengths while go on overcoming our weaknesses so that we become what the Divine wants us to be. All the rest will spontaneously fall into its place. 

Lots of Love

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. 

Its general version applicable for every sadhaka has been described in The Synthesis of Yoga in the book on the yoga of self-perfection…

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…
