My friend called me and told me that he had a dream in which I was reading Savitri and explaining to him how Savitri accepts and embraces human struggles. Then he told me that he felt a strange sense of dรฉjร vu, as if he had already told me about this before. Is there any meaning to this dream? ๐๐ญ

Connecting the dots began when Their words gave meaning and touch to my life. When adverse forces rushed in and urged me to escape the cosmos, Sri Arvind and Sri MA anchored me with the truth that Her work is to be done right here on Earth. I learned that true understanding does not lie in the mindโs synthesis, but in quietude and inner union. First Union with the Divine, then Work. ๐ธ๐๐ป

Can the ego be converted? If so, how? Psychic individuality is the need. Even if the ego is converted, will it allow the Psychic to come forward and take over ? I was told i am ruled by my ego.

Conversion of the ego means that instead of turning towards the satisfaction of desires and being at the mercy of every stroke of nature it

I read in Letters On Yoga Vol. 1 that Sri Aurobindo revised his view on Krishna’s Leela in Vrindavan, as he himself confessed and said his earlier take on it being purely metaphorical had gone a change throughout the years. ๐ฆ๐๐๐ป […]

Growing up, I always felt that sex was something that should happen after marriage. But honestly, it was never really about traditional or moral beliefs for me. It was more because I have been doing sadhana of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, and somewhere within me, I always wonderedโwhy should an emotion like lust or sexual desire come into this? ๐๐ชท […]
These are three different things that must be seen each in its own right.

The quest of the modern science is to discover the divine through the matter, the external. The discoveries are made in parts. The establishment of each scientific principle is part discovery (of the law of Nature, the divine law), but once established, the fruit of the discovery is available to all humanity. ๐ฌ๐ชท […]

My question is: Namaste Alok Da. I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website. Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India? ๐๐
