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

There is this Theme of Fate and Destiny that Sri Aurobindo explores throughout his Writings and Poetry, and he has this Aphorism: “God’s laughter is sometimes very coarse and unfit for polite ears; He is not satisfied with being Molière, He must needs also be Aristophanes and Rabelais”. 🗺️🌄🦚😅🙏🏻🌷[…]

Fate is a complex play of forces, both individual and collective. Regional and national or what we may say collective destinies are far more complex than individual. They also follow long curves of Time. Imagine, for example what the Hindus must have gone through the centuries from 1500 till just about a century ago, facing …

Dear Alok da, “When you are conscious of the whole world at the same time, then you can become conscious of the Divine.” Every time I come across this New Year Message of the Mother, I am always puzzled. What does it mean ‘To be Conscious of the Whole World’ and how to become Conscious of the whole World at the same time? 🌍😯🌷🌼

By whole world is not meant all the details of the outer events happening all the time though that too can be known. 

Becoming conscious of the whole world means to enter into the universal consciousness in which it is possible to know all that needs to be known simply by an act of concentration in that direction. This state is called as the….
