OM NAMO BHAGAVATE. Pranam at Thy Lotus Feet. Dear bhai, Pranam. Prayers and Meditations, 16th June 1914. What is the essence of this day’s prayer? Is it that the Physical, Vital and Mind, all are mingled with the Psychic, the Central Fire? Nucleus? Please guide… ❤️🔥🔥🌻✨
Like a sun Thy splendour descends upon the earth and Thy rays will illumine the world. All those elements which are pure enough, plastic enough,
The Life Divine, Chapter IV: The Divine and the Undivine, Page 396, last line: “the concealed Divinity, that has lit the flame of aspiration, pictures the image of the ideal, keeps alive our discontent and pushes us to throw off the disguise and to reveal or, in the Vedic phrase, to form and disclose the Godhead in the manifest spirit, mind, life and body of this terrestrial creature.” – what is the Vedic phrase, its essence? 😊🙏🏻🌻
In our human consciousness there is the image of an ideal truth of being, a divine nature, an incipient godhead: in relation to that higher
Why is it that many parents, especially those in their 50s, often glorify their past struggles, like working long hours to earn an extra $200, and keep reminding their children of the sacrifices they made to raise them? Why can’t they allow their children to recognize it naturally, instead of constantly seeking acknowledgment or credit and glorifying their struggles? 🙄🌻👨🏻👩🏻👧🏻👦🏻
Bringing up a child can be a very challenging task and sometimes it does require quite a bit of sacrifice. But the child has not
I tried chicken a month ago, and I regularly eat eggs, as it’s helping me gain weight, as I’m very skinny. I never tried non-veg before this, as I thought it was all cruelty. But suddenly this changed. What’s the truth behind this? Is it wrong or not? Not asking about any moral issue, but the practicality. 🍗🍴💪🏼
Nothing wrong with that. People who take to gym or have a boost of rajas in their system suddenly feel this change and need of
I heard in one of your talks that in 10 years, foreigners will come to work in India, as at present, Indians are going abroad (like to the USA). Will this happen so fast, only in 10 years, dear Alok da? 😊🙏🏻❤️🔥
Why not? The world is going through a tremendous churning that is going to upset many things, especially in the period between 2014 to 2028
How should I understand the below quote from Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Essays on the Gita’? Kindly explain: 😊🌻💫[…]
It means that though Eternal he (the Supreme or highest Purusha) can enter the play of Time, though infinite he can yet assume a finite
Why do we have habits? 😊🦋🌻
Every action gives rise to an experience and the experience gets embedded in us as memory. If the experience is pleasant there is a tendency
Alok da, what is the sign that our lower part has surrendered or is surrendering to the Divine? 😃🌼✨
By the growth of peace and consciousness (making us aware of the wrong movements) and strength (to reject the wrong movements) in the lower parts
These days, I see many people who are unhappy and unsatisfied with their jobs, even when the pay is good. They are only continuing to do it because of their financial circumstances. 😣🏢💸[…]
It is a good sign if one is dissatisfied with life as it is today. It is an even better sign if one is seeking
What to do when your near ones have turned hostile? Should you take it as Maa has placed them in your life so you could show them some light, or let them be? Tough call, right? 😫💔❤️🩹[…]
The signs of a person who has turned hostile towards the Divine are anger towards the Divine and those who manifest something or the other
Alok bhai, could you throw some light on the Mantra: ‘Om Tat Sat Jyotir Aravinda’?🕉️😊🙏🏻🪷
Soon after completing his personal sadhana on the 24th November 1926 (Siddhi), Sri Aurobindo wrote these following Mantras in his notebook. …
Alok da, I am a male of 26 years old, and a lot of Information on Semen Retention, says that it is very beneficial for spiritual progress. What are your thoughts on it? And how long is required for us to retain? Has Sri Aurobindo or the Mother ever spoken about it? 🤔⚡🏋🏼♂️
Put very simply, from the energy point of view, the energy that goes into sexual reproduction is the same energy that, if conserved and sublimated,
I was discussing with my uncle that Sri Krishna is a God of Overmind and Sri Aurobindo is of Supermind. It seemed like Sri Krishna deliberately didn’t say anything about the Supermind in Dwaparayuga, just for Sri Aurobindo to say it in Kaliyuga? 🫡🌄💫
Well, yes mankind was not ready for the greater truth. That is why the Avatars follow a line of evolutionary progress rather than exhausting every
Why do I keep seeing Repetitive Numbers? I feel a vibe when I see them, but I could never understand what it is trying to convey, if at all it carries any meaning. And to make the situation more confusing, I don’t see a particular number; they are random but repetitive. E.g. 777, 444, 7070, 13:13, 5.55 🔢😖🔢
It is a certain affinity in the mind, either due to the past or simply as a possibility in the present. Need not feel confused
Dear Alok da, I offer flowers to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother every day. Some days the flowers look still fresh, though not completely fresh, they are still not withered, and I don’t feel like throwing and replacing them because they are a day old. Is it ok to leave them as such, or is it better to replace fresh ones every day with the offering attitude? 💐😊🙏🏻✨
Though there can be no fixed rule at home but replacing is not needed at home if the flowers are fresh. Some of them like
Is it entirely a coincidence that Sri Krishna reveals His Vishwaroop in the Gita, and on that, after millennia, Sri Aurobindo writes such visceral chapters on this Aspect of Sri Krishna’s Vision of the World Spirit as Time, the Destroyer, at a particular historical juncture? 🦚🪶💥[…]
Yes, absolutely true. I have read most of the major commentaries on the Gita but nowhere one finds such a lucid description and the deeper
Today I was thinking about donating money to the beggars, and a thought came to me that if a beggar is in good health, why shouldn’t he work for himself and earn his own money? I also believe that it is the evolutionary struggle that will help them to develop, and if I provide any money, it will create a hindrance to the same. 🤔❤️🔥💰🌻[…]
You are absolutely right, without a doubt. The Gita even goes on to say that something given without due consideration of Time, place and circumstance
One of your answers about Marriage is that it is for going together for Higher Consciousness and for Sadhana. Each one respect each other. After 23 years of marriage, if the husband’s aim is only to lead an ordinary life and, in each step, humiliate and disrespect the wife, then what will the wife do? 😣🧑🏻🤝👩🏻🌼[…]
It is for this reason that the ego has been given to man, to ensure that the self-development of the individual is not stifled or
