AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why don’t we humans unite as one country instead of doing war๐Ÿ˜ฃ?

Very good question. The only problem is that people will still fight in that ‘one country’ with different groups wanting to impose their own language, religion, ideology, way of life upon the rest or else to separate! So for the dream of One Country or a World without boundaries mankind must first evolve beyond all these things that divide us. At the same time ensure that diversity of cultures, language etc is not threatened. This is only possible through a spiritual evolution by which we discover that the Divine dwells in every creature and we can approach Him or the Truth in so many ways. Only a very wide and all embracing idea can unite human beings without disturbing the diversity. That is possible only in the thought and way of life of Sanatana Dharma. Therefore India has the key to solving the problem of human unity. If it can apply it rightly here, then one day all the countries will unite harmoniously. But right now world is not ready for the Idea of One Country as whichever group takes the lead of governance will try to impose its way upon others and that will be a disaster for others.

Affectionately,

When I came to this place, the people here are like, “Why are you worshipping them like God?!” Will you jump from the building if Sri Aurobindo tells you to? You yourself aren’t an evolved being; how will you represent their teachings? ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ[…]

Faith is the starting point of any journey. When one says that one must question everything doesn’t it imply faith in one’s ability to find the answer to everything? Doesn’t it also imply faith in the ability of the human mind to find the answer through the use of the sceptical intellect? Faith is the starting point of every journey. Its end is knowledge. …

Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth โ€” as in Savitri, where the soul โ€œdrinks experience like a strengthening wine.โ€ Is this broadly correct? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ‚

Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and is offering the real cure. It is like a physician who empathises even when he gives a…
