Hello sir. Since childhood, I have remained deprived of true love and real concern for me, even from my parents and siblings. Now, my married life has turned into a horrible situation. How to overcome such bitter experiences of life and become a true servant of the mother and Sri Aurobindo? 💗🌸🙏🏼
Take all this as a Grace. If you see closely the situations are actually serving the purpose of taking you closer and closer to your
Namaste Sir. In one quote, the Mother has said: “Give up trying, give up the will to progress, give up the aspirations for realisation, give up everything and say to the lord in all sincerity, let thy will be done.” If we give up everything, what will make us to work and search for the divine? 🙏🏼🕊️✨
It is the penultimate stage of sadhana somewhat like Sri Krishna’s final injunction to Arjuna, sarvadharmanparityajya, to give up all Dharmas and take refuge in
As you mentioned that instead of taking scriptures literally, one should understand their true essence, I have one final question in this regard: What is the true spiritual essence or underlying message behind the verse (12.13.13) that speaks of donating the Srimad Bhagavatam on a golden throne on Bhadrapada Purnima? 📖🪷🔍 […]

I am considering a transfer because life here has felt mechanical and stuck. I do not feel much joy or ease. I do not want to blame the place, but I wonder whether its atmosphere or energy can affect us, or whether this is mainly my perception. 💼🧭🌱[…]

Some people were accompanying Mother, and I felt an urge to touch Her feet; however, as there were others around, I wondered if it would be possible. Then I asked Mother if I could come over; She beckoned me, and when I touched Her feet, I felt a deep emotion in my heart.🌙🌸🙏🏼 […]
It seems very unlikely to be The Mother. The inner feeling is most important in these matters.

While playing alone on the school rooftop where the building met a large banyan tree, I noticed two young boys—one an older child and the other a nursery toddler—hanging precariously below. 🌙🌳🤲[…]

Q1. Following a routine stresses me out because I can’t find joy in it, even when I fully concentrate on the work. Please guide me on how to handle this and offer a simple, logical, and practical approach to any problems related to my thoughts. 🎓🧭🌱

When I read the works of Sri Aurobindo, I very often come across the words Self and self. Though I have a vague understanding. Could you please explain to me what they exactly mean in the spiritual context? 📖🧘♂️✨

I regularly watch your talks and deeply value your guidance. In one video, you mentioned that since the Divine resides within each of us, it is foolish to remain distressed or suffer over our troubles once we realize this truth. 🙏🏼🕊️✨[…]
God residing within us means that the very Source of creation, the Almighty, All-knowing, All-loving Creator is with us. Would you then have any fear
Is thought really opposed to action? How to achieve spontaneity in action cos I am struggling with this problem of being decisive and sticking to a plan and rather burden myself with so many permutations and combinations of various scenarios that are gonna play out if I follow a course of action and, in the end, come to doubt the very plan itself. 🧠⚡🧭[…]

I had a vivid dream after a long time, but I only remember parts of it. After reading Tales from Shakespeare, I had a layered dream: losing track of time at a cinema, then being taught acting by two friends while spontaneously translating Homer’s Odyssey, alongside vivid imagery of a bizarre zig-zag skyscraper and strange facial distortions that woke me once I questioned them. 🌙📖🎭[…]
The dream was, in all likelihood triggered by the reading of Shakespeare’s book giving you a glimpse into his mind which is the many tiered

Sir, I am currently around 48 years old, and recently I have been suffering from tooth and knee pain. If I consult a doctor for my teeth, they would extract the tooth and fit an artificial one. 🦷🦵🙏🏼[..]
