I’m telling the truth when I say I just know for a fact that, despite my limits and flaws, I know I want The Divine enough to do whatever I need to do. When I was sharing that I have doubts, I was observing the hesitation in parts of me in order to acknowledge and overcome it instead of hiding it; I was not choosing or identifying with those doubts. 😊🙏🏻🌸❤️🔥[…]
I know that and there is no question of doubting any of it. I know your love for Them is genuine and so is your

I was just listening to your talk on ‘overmind and supermind’. I have listened to a few of your other talks referring to the same subject, which makes me ask a few questions about this. Didn’t the Overmind consciousness manifest on Earth while Lord Krishna himself was on Earth? 🌍🦚🪷🤔

I visited somebody’s house (some rich businessman) and he had, I believe, 11, 12, or 13 entrances into his house (I forgot the exact number). And each of those entrances was guarded by a small fluffy dog of the same breed (very beautiful). 💭🐍🐕🦺🏡🌾[…]

What was Mother’s view of classical music? I mean, were there composers that she believed could really be uplifting spiritually? I am interested, as it was around the turn of the 20th century, in her young age and youth, that a coarser movement in music came to evolve. 🎶🎼😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Sir Pranam. Now since some days I am going through Sri Aurobindo’s Record of Yoga, Part 1. I am just reading it with only a little understanding.
