In my Dream, a school friendβwhom I consider like a sisterβvideo calls me. At first, I think of ignoring it, but in the end, I pick up the call.

Sri Aurobindo, in his commentary on the Taittiriya Upanishad, identifies the Vijyanamaya sheath as the Supermind. Swami Medhananda from the Vedanta Society of Southern California claims that this Vijyana is the same as the Vijyana described by Sri Ramakrishna. ππ€ππΌ[…]

1) If we construct a model to explain (approximate, if not possible to explain) spiritual philosophy, where a model consists of a set of assumptions that are accepted as true statements, such that it is beyond the scope of the model to test the validity of the truth of those statements using the same model. Then, other statements called hypotheses can be constructed, which can be placed in one of the 4 categories: provable/ disprovable/ unverifiable/ unable to be classified among the other 3 categories so far.Β πβοΈπ₯Έπ·[…]
These constructs, theories are mental ways of trying to understand something that the mind does not know. It does not want to undertake the journey

Yesterday, I was listening to an excerpt of your talk on how the Divine Grace arranges things on a macro level, taking every individual(probably the ones open to the Grace) into consideration. However, could you please explain the effect of Vital or Mental formations on the working of the Grace on those individuals? πππ»π¦π
The mental and vital formations can support or resist the action of the Grace. They do have a role to play. For example if someone
I was listening to your recent conversation on Social Media. While discussing about body positivity, you’ve so aptly brought out the counterfactual of what if the female lead with whom the male protagonist is romanticizing happened to be ‘visually not fair and pretty’- which actually has been what I too used to think. π«β€οΈβ¨π©ββ€οΈβπ¨[…]
Yes love, like most things in our life is fed by certain stereotypes and social constructs. Hence it suffers deformation and distortion like everything else.
Sir, can you please elaborate on this, how the Birthday of the physical body has so much significance for the Soul? ππ³πΌπ¦β¨

Pranam Alokda. Till the time one realises their Psychic Being and start to live a ‘truly spiritual’ life, as the Mother states, and can truly start to live the ideal of a ‘Divine Worker’ as stated in the Essays on the Gita, what’s the best and most practical everyday psychological attitude that can be consistently adopted in aspiration for an ideal state like that of a Divine worker where one directly receives command from the Divine and carries it out in the true spirit of Gita. πππ»π»β€οΈβπ₯π
It is difficult to receive direct command from the Divine until one has made a living contact with the psychic being. What one can however

I don’t know how, but in my mind, I am stuck on the fact that the growth of the Soul will invite newer challenges, and I really don’t have the strength to go through any challenges at the moment. Is seeking happiness the same as wanting the pain to stop? I’m not sure that I can tell the difference. π£π₯β€οΈβπ₯π
