My life has become tough now. I am distracted from the Spiritual path. I am now more drawn to dopamine and fulfilling my pleasures. It’s been 5-6 months; I am just wasting my time. I am not sincere. Now I don’t have a goal in my life. The goal of aspiring for the divine, to grow, has just vanished away. ๐ฅ๐๐ป[…]

After a lifetime of chasing ambitious goals, I have begun surrendering my ego and ambitions to the Mother, praying earnestly for Her will to guide me. Recently, a sudden calm and stillness have replaced my old rajasic drive, erasing my usual career ambitions. ๐๏ธ๐ฑ[…]

These things such as what job one should be applied for etc are a kind of subliminal intuition that do not necessarily come from the
I recently applied to a school that perfectly matched a strong, long-held intuition about my life’s path, but the opportunity unexpectedly fell through due to an alignment mismatch. This sudden setback has left me feeling lost, tired, and questioning whether my intuition and sense of higher guidance were real or just my imagination.๐งญ๐๐ป[…]

Recently, I have been losing a lot of friends. Not that I have many friends. But my core friends are discontinuing their friendship with me.ย Some of my friends fell into drugs, alcohol, smoking. They invited me, but I refused, so they started distancing themselves. ๐ค๐๏ธ[โฆ]

Reflecting on The Mother’s words, “The divine force is with you โ feel its presence more and more and be careful never to betray it,” what does it mean to betray this Force, and how does that betrayal happen?

1) Whenever I try to meditate, after some time I see a brief flash of a cobra’s hood for a fraction of a second. It isn’t very sharpโjust a 3D gray patch with faintly outlined features. I don’t feel scared or uneasy. Why do I keep seeing this? ๐๐ฆ[โฆ]
Cobra represents the urge to evolve or the beginning of the evolutionary process. It is obviously a good sign. Snakes in general represent fear, fears
An astrologer recommended that I perform specific rituals to appease the planets and remove delays in marriage, but this transactional approach feels fundamentally misaligned with true surrender to the Divine Mother. ๐ช๐๐ป[…]
Absolutely true. I look upon it as trying to bribe the gods which is so absurd. A true god is much more happy when we
After watching your session on surrender, I realized I feel more like an ordinary seeker than a true yogi. For months, I have faced constant setbacksโfailed job interviews, a delayed appraisal, stalled book plans, and growing financial strain. In my desperation, I even turned to astrologers. ๐๐ป๐ฑ[…]

Reflecting on our discussion about the Motherโs phrase “do something useful,” I had an insight while sitting in the Ashram. Perhaps being truly “useful” is not about conventional worldly productivity, but about serving as a quiet instrument that points others toward the Divine. ๐ฟ๐คฒ[…]

While absorbing lifeโs experiences unconsciously through nature’s evolutionary stages culminates in human birth, does the actual spiritual awakening occur purely through Grace and the innate nature of the soul? Also, thank you for your insight on the Man of SorrowsโI will reflect on it further, as I am still working to fully grasp the concept. ๐ฑโจ
Human birth is not the ultimate. It is the peak of creation in ignorance. In human beings the Ignorance becomes a consciously seeking Ignorance. It
