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 come๐Ÿ˜ฃ?

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

Similarly with the will. It develops if we exercise it. When we do not give up something, be it an effort to understand, or to work with the hands or simply make an effort to be regular and punctual builds the will. One…

Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri Krishna himself advocates. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak mainly of Aspiration, opening to the Divine, inner remembrance and offering leading to surrender. In fact these methods give quicker …

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, โ€œ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.โ€ Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. ๐ŸŒ‘โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility. But to bring it out we are provided within us the challenge, the opposition to the possibility that we must conquer. Take for instance someone meant to realise true love will find in his life surrounded by some of the ..
