In my Dream, I saw a hanging tree beside the top of a mountain and everyone wanted to make their way to get Moksha. What does it mean, sir?π³β°οΈππ
It is the tree of creation described in the Gita. It is the cosmic tree through which creation descends into Ignorance. The mountain is the

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[…]
The idea of the Supermind has been there since the Vedas. Apart from being a logical necessity, it must have been glimpsed from afar, from
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
My pranam at Thy Lotus Feet of the Divine Mother.Β Β My pranam to you also.Β Dada, in reading through the original texts of Sri Aurobindo, like Life Divine, Synthesis of Yoga, Savitri and others, there are different subjects and thought processes like subconscious, subliminal, planes, etc.Β But how to get access to or connect to the exact explanations by the Mother in her writings?Β Please guide me.Β πππ»β€οΈβπ₯π·πΒ Β
Yes, it is always best to read them directly. No interpretation can ever do justice or be a replacement for the direct reading. The original
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¨
Birth is not the birth of the body alone as the materialist believes. It is the birth of the individual consciousness guided by the soul
My question is, my grandfather has been seeing dead people alive in his dream for the past few days. The background is in the past 1.5 years, there have been 7 deaths among our close relatives and in his friend circle. πͺ¦ππ³ππ»πΌ[…]

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
Dada, I saw a dream that I was pregnant, I wanted a normal delivery, so doctors went away with their machines and I delivered a baby boy in normal process, but in that process a boy helped me and strange thing is that he was crying. π€±πΌπΌπΌβ€οΈβπ₯π·[…]
It seems like some soul that got in active contact with you wanting to be born through you. Could be some link from the past.
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
Challenges are bound to come in life. It is part of the evolutionary programming. The soul helps us to navigate through these challenges with much
Iβm curious to know what place Sri Aurobindo would have given to Personality Classifications like Myers-Briggs, Socionics, etc. I understand that he spoke of psychoanalysis as an incomplete and partially ignorant tool of understanding the mind. ππ§βπ€π[…]
There was a time, long back, when I read many of these things. Found all of them not only grossly inadequate and limited but also
If a person is elevating their consciousness and developing themselves into a new consciousness, what about those who have already attained Liberation (Mukti) and have become one with the Supreme Being? According to Sri Aurobindo’s yoga, what is their status? Will they also take on the new consciousness?β¨π§ποΈπ
Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state
Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.π§οΈπ§ββοΈππ«
This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing
I want to grow on the path of Integral Yoga. I deeply wish to change myself and transform my Consciousness, but I find it difficult to do so. I often decide to wake up early at 5:30 AM, yet my body resists. Even if I manage to get out of bed, I soon find myself going back to sleep.π§β¨πͺ·π§©[…]

Yesterday I had a dream in which I was in a three-wheeler autorickshaw as the only passenger. There was no driver, and the vehicle was uncontrollably moving down a hill on an earthen road. I was barely able to control it. The road had helical curves, and at the endβif I remember correctlyβit either crashed or overturned, and the dream ended.πππ΄π€[…]
Yes it is clearly a dislocation. Possibly the mind was not in control of body and the vital force that fuels it and the consciousness
