Due to repeated failure in something related to the body, my mind and vital has taken a pessimistic approach of repeating that something or the other will go wrong. I want to develop a positive attitude in the body, mind and vital. Can you please suggest some affirmations that I can practise writing and repeating every day? 😥🙏🏻🌼🦋
Read books and lives of human beings who refused to give up, who turned every failure into a new learning and step towards eventual success.
My son is depressed because his girlfriend left him. Also, he thinks he is responsible because of certain vital habits he had. He doesn’t believe in God. Please tell me how to guide him. I am also getting depressed because I see him suffering. Please advise. 🙍🏼♂️💔😥🙏🏻🌼
There is no need to bring in god. All that is needed is to talk to him. Let him express his feelings freely to you.
Kindly tell me when to become passive and when not to become passive, because in the beginning, one can’t surrender as one can’t understand the importance of surrender. What is the right attitude and how to possess the right attitude in all circumstances? 🤔🌼🍂
One should be passive only to the Divine Will. If one is sure of the Divine Will in the quietude of one’s inmost heart, then
I came across some keywords that are used multiple times while reading and listening about Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. However, I don’t understand what these mean. 📖🥸🌼[…]
Please explain (with example if feasible) the meaning of Overmind, Supermind and Supramental consciousness and how these are related with the works of Shri Aurobindo
Just want to know whether the intake of non-vegetarian food causes any hindrance to Spiritual Progress? 🍗🍳🍜🌸

I have a question regarding what the Mother said about astrology? And stars? 🌠😊🙏🏻🌸💫[…]
It is our belief in something that puts us under its influence. But even then, there is nothing greater than the Divine Himself. Before the
Alok da I am drowning. I need help. My parents are against me. I can’t live here another day. I’m losing myself and my mind. Only yell and shout at me.
I would rather advice that you sit with your parents, try to understand their viewpoint, and, if there is still some confusion, then listen to
I yearn to break free from the impulses of this vital-level attachment—a struggle I have been engaged in for quite some time. I can clearly observe its surges, its mechanisms, and the way it weaves a web of will to control my mind and inflict pain upon me. 😣🙏🏻🍂🦋[…]
I am sure The Mother will pull you out through everything. Keep your faith and aspiration growing. Offer all this pain and surrender yourself completely
I watched ‘The Odyssey’ today, and I must say it was an Absolute Masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some scenes moved me deeply—especially when Argos, the faithful dog, recognized Odysseus, and when Telemachus realized that the beggar standing before him was actually his father. Those moments felt profoundly symbolic and touched something beyond the story itself. 🎬😯⛵🗾[…]
The Odyssey and The Iliad are truly masterpieces of Homer. I have not watched the film but have read an English translation of the original
A few days ago, I had a dream where rain was pouring in through the window of my room, directly onto my bed. I got scared and stood before a picture of my Guru. Silently, I said to myself, “As long as Guruji is with me, no one can harm me.” 📖🙄🙏🏻🌼[…]
Rain coming through the window is Grace but for some reason you are unable to accept it and hence go towards your Guru. The Guru
This question aims to optimize the time I dedicate exclusively to my internal life, specifically when meditating. I often feel a competition for psychological energy between my chest area and higher mind. 😊🙏🏻🪷❤️🔥[…]
These methods (as well as others) are not necessarily exclusive of each other. While it is good to practice special concentration in the heart or
I’m flustered to ask so many questions, but when I’m in need, do I call for the Mother or the Lord? 🪷🌼😊🙏🏻❤️🔥
They are one and the same. But you have to see with whom do you feel naturally more connected. Though, as Sri Aurobindo himself has
Nowadays, there are many ‘gurus’ and ‘swamis’ who are extremely popular in social media, cutting across almost every spiritual path. They give lectures or talks citing examples from scriptures, teachings of great spiritual leaders of India, etc. 🤔🌎🪷[…]
Yes that is true. However the so-called learned people are among the most difficult to change. They are imprisoned in scriptural knowledge and the prison
Kindly explain Forces, energies, beings, powers – positive, negative, or both – evil ones that cause harm? 🌀🙂🦋🌼
That is a vast subject and cannot be dealt in a letter alone beyond the basics.
You may find details in various talks as
Not just in a relationship, Alok da, friendships too.. any human interaction. If the person is taking you for granted and you feel it’s not healthy, then you have to speak up, right? Express your truth. Not about their flaws. But their behaviour with us. Being clear and frank there helps, right? 👨🏼❤️🩹👩🏼🍂
A lot of human behavior is unintentional. It is simply habit and unconsciousness. So we should be careful when we attribute motives which alone truly
What is the difference between God and Man if stories talk about God’s having anger, jealousy,… power-hungry? 😦🙏🏻🪷🍂

Is it possible to do a sincere Surrender when one is in ignorance? 🫴🏼🌸😐🙏🏻🌼
Surrender, in fact all other aspects of sadhana such as aspiration, meditation, purification, are to be done when one is in ignorance. When one has
What is the reality of Aghoris, Alok da? Is there any truth to it, especially in South India – or are they just pretend wanna be cultish groups maybe. Can exist for real today. Extreme Tantra. I agree spirituality has become a misnomer. 🤔😶🌫️🍂🍂
Aghoris literally means one who is free from all fear. That does not mean extreme measures as some of the ascetic aghoris undertake. Freedom from
