We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
Why is our vision blocked and blurred? Is it by birth? And what are ways to step out of it? How can one aspire to constant true eyes? That wouldn’t fade. 🫣🪷❤️🔥[…]
Our vision is blocked due to the veil of ignorance. Hence we see wrongly, think wrongly, misunderstand things and, as a consequence suffer needlessly.
Alok da, I certainly do not at all have an inclination towards the leftist like ways of protests, anarchy and then using the language of revolutions and what not but I also feel in a warped and distorted sense, all of Sri Aurobindo’s writings in Bande Mataram can be appropriated by them because Sri Aurobindo here talks of the ways of iron chains of beuracracy and their suppression of movements. ⛓️💥🌄🫡🪷[…]
That is quite a correct observation. What people forget is that the Sri Aurobindo of Bande Mataram days is the pre-yogic Sri Aurobindo. He himself
How to quieten the Heart and Mind? 💗🙂🙏🏻🪷
One simple but very effective method that the Mother has recommended is to call Peace, Peace, Peace as often as you can. It also helps
When working in a collective space on Integral Education, what should be one’s attitude towards work? If a few people are aligned to work with an attitude to be more open and receptive to the Mother’s force while others are not ready to do so or to follow any daily practice to be connected internally to the Mother – how can harmony get established? 🙄🙏🏻🪷🍂[…]
The thumb rule of working in any collective space is to stay focused upon one’s own inner connection with The Mother, deepening it more and
I genuinely love a guy (or at least I feel that way), but we are not in a relationship because we know that we are not perfect for each other. We live in different places, so we don’t meet. There were times when we had an argument and we stopped talking for months, but we ended up together. 👨🏼💗👩🏼🦋[…]
There is evidently a vital attraction which is very different from love. It usually wears off with time unless there is a strong deep affinity
The Mother speaks about the Yoga of Works and says that it is the highest path in Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga. In that case, would it be appropriate for me to become actively involved with my nearest branch of the Sri Aurobindo Society? 🛕😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
It would greatly help your inner progress if you take up work, any work and for whatever time, in the Sri Aurobindo Center.
There
1. Every theory, ideology, or statement seems to contain some fragment of truth; falsehood appears not as absolute non-truth, but as distorted or partial truth. 🍂🙂🙏🏻🪷[…]
Your logic is quite correct except that the words evolution and manifestation need not be used interchangably. A static perfection is possible by a manifestation
You mentioned recently that when Sri Aurobindo left India, an English doctor signed him off. Can you confirm that his pseudonym was Jyotindra Nath? I thought he used his real name with the doctor? 🤔🧑🏼⚕️🌼❤️🔥
Sri Aurobindo traveled from the then British India (Kolkata port) to the then French India, Pondicherry under the name of Jyotindranath. Whether it can be
But Sri Krishna went to the greatest extent, not simply stopping with Atma Sakshatkaram. Further, it’s a long way to go to discover the Source. But hardly do people explain; they stop with the Soul. 🦚😊🙏🏻🪷
Discovering the Source itself is also not enough. Further still is expressing and manifesting the Divine Source in life and action. The Mother gives us
You answered a question regarding Mr. Sonam Wangchuk regarding the protest. Politics indeed has no place in Spirituality. But you also said that there was anarchy and hooliganism by the protesters. Is there a better way to hold an authoritarian government accountable? 🤔👥🪧👩🏼🎓💔👨🏼🎓[…]
I appreciate your honest response. As you might have noticed I have not commented anything on Mr Sonam Wangchuk whom I do not know personally.
Hello Alok da, what are your views on the young students of India demanding accountability from the ruling government and being brutally oppressed and crushed by the police of this country? What are your thoughts on the incompetent, corrupt and ego-filled politicians of modern India who are not at all caring for the people of this country? 😣🪧👥🪧🍂
As a starter it is harmful to involve students in politics. It is as good as destroying their future. But almost all the political parties
Dada, yesterday during the study circle, we were reading about Purusha and Prakriti. In the course of the discussion, I happened to say that Sri Aurobindo is Purusha and the Mother is Prakriti (the executive power of the Purusha). Dada, please tell us your view. 😊🙏🏻🌼🪷
The truth of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is that they are human representation of Ishwara and Shakti. Shakti is also known simetimes known as
Wanted to understand what the last line would mean: “there is a determinism, but externally.” If you could shed some light on this. Sharing the lines below: 📖😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
It means that freedom and fate walk together always. There is on the one side the determinisms or the chain of cause and effect that
Sir, the popular bhakti song ‘Shokoli tomari iccha….tomar kormo tumi koro ma, loke bole kori ami’, which you often mention, was sung by Pannalal Bhattacharya. He was a legendary Shyama Sangeet singer. Dwijendralal Roy was mainly associated with patriotic songs. One of his famous songs is ‘ Dhono dhanye puspe bhora’. 🎼😊🙏🏻🌼🎶
Yes as a child I was quite fond of Pannalal ji. Actually I was referring to the writer, not the singer. May be you could
Whenever something good happens to me, I remember the Mother and thank Her. On the contrary, whenever something bad happens, I try to rationalize it by thinking that Mother saved me from something worse. Is this the attitude we should keep? ❤️🔥😊🙏🏻🪷
It is not just a rationalising of things but the actual truth of the Divine Grace that often mitigates our karmas. But the ideal attitude
Dada, the pain doesn’t stem from the fact that we aren’t together right now, or from wondering when we will be, or from a desire to satisfy my personal cravings through her company—though those thoughts might exist, they aren’t the source of my anguish. 🥲🌼🦋[…]
I understand your pain. But by now you should also understand that this idea of being together, walking upon the path together are all your
What is True Destiny? ❤️🔥🙂🌼
True destiny is the destiny of your soul. It implies that there are several destinies that are active in a person’s life which relate to
I have heard that Mr. Sonam Wangchuk and his wife are devotees of Sri Aurobindo. While his demands may be genuine, the forces with whom he has aligned himself seem to me hostile to India. What are your views on this? 🪧👥🪧🍂
It is very easy to use the word devotee. One doesn’t become a devotee by proclaiming to be one. Even Ravana proclaimed himself to be
