I feel completely lost on my path and overwhelmed by academic and inner struggles that may force me to leave my PhD. Unable to burden my parents, I carry this pain alone, yet whenever I look at the Motherโs photograph, an intense guilt arises that my mistakes are too many and that it is too late to fix anything. ๐๐ป๐[…]
One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her
Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI. People across the globe are sharing their existential condition of living in perpetual anxiety, anticipating the inevitable doom and whatnot. ๐ค๐๏ธ[…]
One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates
Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. ๐ช๐๐ป[…]

How can I be kind, loving, and non-violent towards someone whom I feel hurt by? Especially in close relationships, it becomes difficult for me to remain non-reactive. I really do want to be loving despite what the other person has done, but I end up angry and resentful, which only makes my situation worse. My ‘want’ or ‘will’, no matter how strong it is, to still be loving and compassionate doesn’t help me. ๐ค๐
Being kind, loving and compassionate may or may not help the other person but it will certainly help you. Our body and mind respond to
How to remove this mental pride? ๐ฑ๐๐ป
The mind itself can get rid of it once it understands its limits and limitations. In fact reading Sri Aurobindo itself helps us to grow
Mother answers to one of the disciples: Yes, it is morally true, and one day it will also be physically true. Can we say the same about the triumph of Savitri over Death? That the bringing back to life of Satyavan was a spiritual truth, and it is a matter of time that it will become physical truth as well? ๐ โจ
Yes, absolutely. These stories indicate the opening of a door of possibility for earthly life. In fact, traditionally, after this vrat, the story of Savitri
Earlier, I read spiritual texts out of an obsessive intellectual curiosity without truly grasping their essence, but I now rely on the Motherโs Grace, simply praying for Her to impart whatever I need whenever I feel overwhelmed by Sri Aurobindoโs writings. ๐๐๐ป[…]

Dear Sir, early this morning, while half-asleep, I had a vivid thought or dream about Shesha; I saw the colossal serpent Shesha floating in the dark cosmos. I began reflecting on the symbolism: Vishnu is the sole ultimate reality and we are merely his projections or acts in his divine play; does that make our individual identities completely false? ๐๐[…]

We just had a baby boy. We are thinking of a name for our little one. Now, we want to keep a name that has a vibration that resonates with his soul. Now, I am doing my best to find what resonates. But things like rashi and numerology are being suggested by family.๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ผ[…]
If you wish you may send me the photograph of the child and the rashis suggested. I can suggest few names.
How can we choose a conscious name for our baby? I believe that every name carries its own vibration. During my pregnancy, Truth kept coming to me very strongly. It felt meaningful to me. According to astrology, the suggested starting letters for his name is K, Cha, Bha, Dha. How can we choose a name that resonates with his soul? ๐ถโจ๐๐ผ
The name that resonates with the soul cannot be found by astrological suggestions. Astrology deals with the surface events and outer situations, what is generally
Part of the reason for dissatisfaction is the perpetual busyness of my work. Itโs always excessively busy. You know itโs been 10 years since I received a promotion or some sort of formal recognition at work. During this time, scores of my friends and peers have moved up and are now seasoned principals, while I am stuck in limbo. ๐๏ธ๐ฟ๐๐ผ […]

Why do so many cling to partnerships and parade happy photos abroad, as if solitude would break them? I see college friends who seemed aimless now grounded with a spouse and child, while those who stayed single often ended up carrying the baggage of toxic relationships. Is companionship genuine fulfillment, or just a mutual crutch for stability? ๐๐ฑ๐๐ผ
Happiness? Is it even a goal worth pursuing? Happiness is a given in life, from the pig rolling in mud to the monkey swinging on
Question regarding turning towards God: Respected Alok Da, Pranam. You wrote: Turning towards God means desiring God not for the fulfillment of one’s own wishes, but because of His loving nature. However, prayers are usually offered with the desire to obtain something from God, rather than for God Himself. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๏ธ[…]
To turn towards the Divine means to engage with Him in some way. The most natural way is to hear, read, think and meditate upon
Please help me understand what The Mother means by “we must do something useful for others” in Her response to this question: “What is my place in the universal work? ” (14 May 1912 – CWM – Words of Long Ago – The Incarnate Word).ย ๐ค๐ฑ๐๐ผ[…]

I have been feeling a sense of hopelessness (professionally and personally) these last few days. Most of the time, I am a generally happy person. But this week has been like as if I am being pulled into this darkness. I am trying to shake it off, but itโs pulling me down. ๐ง๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๐ผ […]
