Dear Da, I’m a single child. I always have this question: why don’t I have a sibling with whom I can share things? Also, my parents have a greater realisation of the Divine, so whenever I try something out of spirituality or try to get mixed with society, they get to know things from within and always doubt my intentions and try to keep me under their influence. π’πΈπ¨π»βπ©π»βπ§π»βπ¦π»π[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. πππ»πͺ·β€οΈβπ₯

Can one start withΒ Bhagavan Ramana’s self-enquiry method and try following Sri Ramana for Atma Sakshaykaram? Because I feel BhagavanΒ Ramana’s approach is the direct, shortest, quickest, instant push towards The Self if practised under His enquiry method.Β πππ»π»π[…]

Respected Alok da, I want to ask whether it is possible to escape an accident ( just like APC) with psychic perfection? Here also, is it possible “One man’s perfection can save the world?” I think it will be possible if there is time to observe it… Alok da, please tell me about it.
Yes it is very much possible. One good man open to the Divine in earnest can save an imminent catastrophe. I just gave a talk
1. Normal activities of life that people normally do with interest and joy, like watching TV, going to hotels, visiting places, and meeting people, etc., do not interest me. 2. Quite often, I feel life is boring. Why? ππΌπ¦π

My question is, Gita says: “It is better to do oneβs own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do anotherβs dharma, even though perfectly.” – How does it apply on a daily basis to us internally and our interactions in life? ππππ»πΈ

I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime.
