Last night I had a dream in which I was enjoying myself with my friends; the girl I loved was also part of the gathering. But now the group which I saw there is mostly scattered and we don’t have the same intensity of friendship between us. Is this just a subconscient thing coming up? Or is there any significance behind this? ๐๐ญ๐ค๐๐ป […]
Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively
I share an apartment in Bhubaneswar with roommates while preparing for competitive exams, splitting grocery costs equally each month. However, because I skip midday meals and do not eat non-vegetarian food, I consistently pay for expenses I never consume, leaving me feeling conflicted. ๐ โ๏ธ๐ค๐๐ป[…]
In collective life we have to learn to share. It is a very good training for the ego. True, some will use less, some will
This is one of the responses of the Mother who teaches us how to see the sacred and the profane from a larger point of view: ๐ชท๐โจ๐๐ป […]
She foresaw the future in a way when the gap between the sacred and the profane will be anyways blurred as we see today. One
I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and curiosities that have been on my mind. I have a few questions on sadhana that I would value your perspective on when time permits: first, the deeper spiritual reasoning behind focusing solely on one’s Guru rather than opening to other influences. ๐งญ๐๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐ป[…]
These are very good observations and the questions that arise naturally to any seeker.
Fidelity to the Path is indeed expected of every disciple
Mother says the mind’s knowing is not knowing. How to make the unturned and ordinary materialistic nature- especially the vital- understand the significance of higher and deeper things that the mind knows? ๐ง ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ธ๐๐ป
For the mind to truly turn towards the higher realms of knowledge it must first learn to step back and disengage from its imprisonment to
Is there anything else that I should be aware of? I mean, to help with the progress of the spiritual path? Also, does the highest destiny vary with every person’s capacity? ๐๐ค๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๐ป
Faith in one’s seeking and the spiritual destiny, sincerity in aspiration and surrender in one’s actions is the best way to draw the highest destiny

The Aphorism you mention ‘Suffer yourself to be tempted within so that you may exhaust in the struggle your downward propensities’ is part ofa series
I was hiking with companions across a sunlit, arid landscape until a dead end forced us onto an enclosed path. Pausing at brief stops along the way, I eventually stepped out onto a high balcony overlooking a night valley, where the road dissolved into open space. ๐ฅพ๐๐๐๐ป[…]
The dream is a reflection of the inner state and the choices before your soul as you draw closer to the birthday. One is the
Alok da, how much is the body linked to the development of the Will? Do those people in professions which involve a thorough exertion of their hands and limbs in tune with the head (like craftsmen, painters, musicians, dancers, military men, chefs, and even agricultural labourers) have a scope for much development of the Will over those who don’t and are much more in the head(like software engineers, bankers, and students who spend hours in front of dense books reading)? ๐ง๐ปโ๐๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ปโ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ชท[…]
Those who work with hands or eye or mouth (speech) or brain develop more consciousness in those organs. It is not just the external instruments
Please tell me that how many types of meditation are there told by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo? Is namajapa a part of meditation? Which meditation is advisable for a mentally ill person? ๐ง๐ฟ๐๏ธ๐๐ป
Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri
In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, โ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.โ Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. ๐โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐๐ป
It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility.
With the 150th birth anniversary of Sri MA approaching, we are planning an initiativeโincluding a journey from Paris to Pondicherryโto bring the vision of Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA before Europe and beyond. We would be deeply grateful for your guidance on how to present their thought in ways that truly resonate with the European mind. ๐๐๐ธ๐๐ป[…]
While your initiatives are deeply appreciable, I am not sure if the time to do so is right and more so, if Europe is ready
Dear Sir, how can silent inner pleading affect seemingly unconscious, assembled machines? Observing my new motorcycle, I intuitively sensed a living “spirit of the form”โmuch like the traditional worship of toolsโmaking me wonder if software, numbers, and subtle energies also hold a responsive consciousness.๐๏ธ๐โจ๐๐ป[…]
This has been my experience too, especially with things that I regularly use such as the Scooter, watches etc. Material objects too carry consciousness within
Dear Sir, with humility and sincerity, I wish to place a few developing inner observations before you for your illuminating guidance. I find spontaneous physical intuitions of gratitude and Sri MA’s grace taking hold directly in the body before meals, while before sleep, a deep inner surge naturally crystallizes into “Sri MA”โwhich has become my living mantra, concentrated with all my aspiration and surrender. ๐ธ๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐๐ป[…]
All these experiences clearly point out that your psychic being has already emerged into the play. All these are conscious experiences of the psychic being.
Reflecting on your guidance, I wonder if the sudden dismantling of my former life is Divine Grace clearing space for what my soul truly longs for. Amidst these sweeping losses, an inner pull toward a life centered on Sri Aurobindo, Sri MA, simplicity, and dedicated spiritual practice has only deepened. ๐ก๐ธ๐ค๏ธ๐๐ป[…]
Such radical shifts in life are a kind of rebirth, a spiritual rebirth that changes all the past co-ordinates shifting us out of every comfort
I looked up into the sky to see a luminous, oval-shaped halo glowing above, before witnessing Krishna and Shiva descend in intense white and yellow light near an old forest temple. When someone insisted I should marry a messenger associated with the vision, I firmly refused, choosing instead to receive a subtle healing touch on my fingertips.๐ช๐ฑโจ๐๐ป[…]
Krishna and Shiva are two aspects of One Divine Truth. One opens the path through the world, other by renouncing the world.
