AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

Asked by a 33 year old

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In one of his letters, Sri Aurobindo says that the mistakes of Thought, Speech, or Action should be kept away and considered something superficial that the Power and Light will deal with and remove.

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….
