I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects. I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. πππ»πΈπ[…]

In a Dream, I saw 4β5 camels standing in a row in front of me and some more camels were coming from the desert.

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack. Poets like Keats have a lyrical sweetness and beauty but lack vital power and raw force, which a poet like Browning has. πβοΈπππ»πͺ·[…]

Dada, Sri Aurobindo, or The Mother once stated somewhere that it was their very own consciousness that was present in Michelangelo.
