AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?

Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind.  In any case since all the gods are Her powers and aspects, it is She who grants the prayer and acts from behind even when we pray to the gods. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The intelligence of such a person becomes vast and free but it is not yet the Divine Intelligence that sees and acts upon the world and its manifold activities freely and divinely. The increasing taking up of buddhi, the intelligence ..

When I got to know about Mother and Sri Aurobindo through one of my teachers, I was attracted towards Krishna because I felt that he will accept me as I am. I read the writings of Mother. But never felt a pull towards Mother or Sri Aurobindo. But 1-2 years ago, my heart has a longing and I felt the word “Maa”. So now I go to Maa. Sir, could you shed light on this state? 🌸💙🕊️🙏🏻

Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are one but the approach is different for each one. Sri Krishna is the Divine as friend who counsels us but leaves us free to act or not act and as a result go through the consequences. He gives us freedom to be while drawing us quietly towards Him waiting for the moment when you are unable to resist …
