AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

You said with the help of the Supermind, only we can clean or transform our falsehood to its source of truth, or some dissolve to their origin ๐Ÿ˜‡[conti]

But we don’t know the mechanism of the Supermind. We only know the mechanism of the physical mind. During jealousy feeling we just divert our mind or remember some words of our Mother, like (not to entertain these activities within you), we succeed in stopping the action of jealousy within our body system. This is the work of the physical mind.ย The question is how the supermind acts to transform our falsehood into its own origin of truth? What is the process?

It is understood that the mind cannot know the working of the Supermind as long as it remains itself. It is so because the Supermind is the higher principle, and the mind itself is derived from it. The mind can understand the Supermind only by being itself transformed into the Divine Mind or else by opening to the Divine Consciousness through the psychic being. It is the same thing that the animal mind can at best guess or imitate the human being, but cannot understand why and how our mind works. 

The only way to understand it is through analogies; for example, we can say that the Supermind dissolves all jealousy, bitterness, hatred, etc. Just as butter melts under the sun, or ice turns into vapour thus changing its quality completely.  However, it is not easy for man to bear the impact of the Supermind and hence the safer way is to open and surrender to the Mother. After all, the Supermind is the Divine Power hidden in creation but acting through the veils of ignorance.  Supramental Manifestation means that this power is out in the open, acting directly and not through the veils of the mind.

Affectionately

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
