I have been taking antipsychotics for the last 15.5 years (olanzapine 15 mg every night). The issue is – I feel a bad mood and irritation for 4-6 hours after getting up from sleep every day. Is it happening because of my psychosis condition, dear Alok da? ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฆโจ
Yes, it is due to an instability in nature. Psychosis itself is the result of this instability that arises because the consciousness has got centered

Reading all the writings, all the answers to my seekings, there remains a gap, a feeling of being unanswered.ย My inner call says that I can’t know anything fully while staying in the same dimension; there is a higher level or dimension than my present one, or maybe many of them, and only when I reach there, my quest will end. ๐ค๐ท๐โจ
Yes, of course, reading and writing prepare the ground, they are not a replacement or substitute for direct experience which comes through the meeting of

Jai Maa. Today I was reading the Two Natures chapter from Essays on the Gita and there Sri Aurobindo explains that the desire in consonance with dharma does not lead to any bondage, while there he also mentions that desire born of Rajogun leads to bondage and misery. ๐โ๏ธ๐๐๐ป๐ป[…]
He has already answered this as you have correctly indicated, through the svabhava. Svabhava is the Divine Impulsion in creation that generates karma. It is

Sir, I am in my early 40s now. I have been the Divine Motherโs devotee since I was a girl of 9-10 years old. Now I feel how lucky I am to get Her image & to walk inside the Ashram, she still walks or drinks the water that she is still drinking/touching despite the pain I’m stuck with for a long time, sir. ๐ฅฒ๐ป๐โจ[…]

Right now, the world seems to be engaged in a terrible and depressing Yajna, with modernism and materialistic science as its priest, trying to conquer the world and death through Artificial Intelligence and genetically modifying babies and many more ignorant means and measures. ๐๐ฅ๐ฑ๐ฆโ๐ฅ[…]
Yes, your intuitive insight is quite correct about much of the present humanity. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo herself cautioned about this in several places.

Dear Alok da, in the following passage, “The boon that we have asked from the Supreme is the greatest that the Earth can ask from the Highest, the change that is most difficult to realise, the most exacting in its conditions.ย …” ๐๐ชท๐ปโจ[…]
Matter is the jada tattva of which all earthly life is based upon. Its nature is obscurity, inertia, darkness. It carries its own truth within

Alok da, how do I deal with this sense of fusion, that I feel within my being, as if I’m a bit torn apart, because I feel like I want to take part in all that is part of the bourgeois ideal, like a bit of marital sweetness, a bit of cultural activities, good money, societal prestige, etc. … ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ซ๐๐[…]

When I was dropping her off at school, she asked me: Mummy, hum knife se body ko katte hain to Aatma kyu nahi martiโฆ I replied: Kyuki Gita me likha hain ki Aatma ajar hain, amar hain. Then she asked me: Aesa kya hain jo wo nahi mar sakti. She is not satisfied with my answer da. ๐ง๐ผ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ง๐ป๐ชท๐ป

My brother recently had a daughter. This made me read and explore more about that subject. I understand that the soul chooses to take human birth to progress further, but does it also choose the family or parents through whom to come into this human vital world? ๐ง๐ผ๐ชท๐ปโจ
Choosing the parents happens when the psychic being is developed and able to chose the conditions of earthly life into details. Until then it is

Sri Aurobindo writes inย “The web of yoga”, “We can pass into the Paratpara Brahman, but we can’t know the Paratpara Brahman.” Does it mean attaining Nirvanam, The Total Merger,ย that nothing individual is left? So knowing is not possible in Nirvanam.ย Am I right in my understanding?ย ๐ซ๐๐ชทโจ
Yes because knowing implies a competition between the knower and the known. We can therefore become Brahman not know IT as know an object. We

After much thought, I have decided I’m not suited to a 9-5 cubicle job, and I will not go for it. I’ll pursue a master’s degree in English and pursue a teaching career.ย Even if I getย 30Kย a month, I’ll be happy, rather than doing something that doesn’t hold my interest, even for 2 lakhs.ย ๐จ๐ผโ๐ผ๐ข๐ป๐จ๐ผโ๐ซ๐ต
It is a very good thought and I am sure She will arrange all that you need. Pursue your deepest inner truth and have faith

Then, before the Psychic Being was discovered, what are the thing that pulls us towards the Divine Mother? Is it the intense vibration of our sleeping Psychic Being, which is now preparing to emerge? Or it may also be some play of vital beings that want to put us in the great illusion? ๐๐๐ป๐ชท๐
It is the psychic being that pulls us towards the Divine, generally using the mind or the heart as its instrument. But if the vital
