Do breathing techniques like Wim Hof or box breathing help quiet the mind and purify the inner being? Or is simple conscious breathing with “Maa” enough to become inward and connect with the psychic being? 🌬️🙏🏻
Breathing exercises of any kind, including the simplest of them, that is deep conscious breathing calms the mind. Purification is a different thing. While a
Please explain the symbolic representation of different parts of the Shivling and what their significance is. How did people start worshipping this form of Shiva? 🕉️✨
The first story of Shivlingam is mentioned in the Shiv Purana where the formless Truth manifests Itself as a column of Light whose far ends
How to raise nature? How to turn it away from its natural attractions in the outside world? With what knowledge should it be turned away from its instincts? When rejection doesn’t help. 🙏🏻🌼
It is never easy to master one’s nature. Only through persistence can one overcome.
After listening to your lectures, I got to know that The Divine is always with us. But why couldn’t I feel the presence in my heart? At that time, I felt very lonely, expecting someone to listen to me. How can I live with the confidence that Sri Maa Sri Aurobindo are always keeping watch over me? 💗🌷
The Divine is in the heart can be felt very intuitively. When we address ourselves as I where do our hands naturally go? To the
Why are the lower parts of the Shivlingam called Vishnubhaga and Brahmabhaga? 🕉️🙏🏻
The lowest part, the base symbolically represents the creator who provides the stable basis upon which creation emerges. The middle part is the preserving consciousness
During a contemplation, I wrote the following in my diary. I would be grateful for your illuminating comments: “Do not take the ‘mood/state’ of the outer ‘facade’ as the present spiritual condition; it is a false construct. The real ‘entity’ is behind the ‘facade’ and is untouched.” I wrote this from what I felt at the time. Could this “entity” be the inner being? 🕊️
Yes. It came from your inner being under the pressure of your soul.
While worrying about my outer life, inner life and sadhana, I became paranoid about relapsing into old lower habits. Alongside this was a sadness of unknown origin, concentrated around the heart centre. ✨🌷 […]
It was clearly a message from your soul asking the surface personality to endure the passage since such is the law of the way. Victory
I agree to a large extent – arranged marriage for Sue sounds like this: no freedom… but in my heart there is the desire for true love – I mean, I don’t want to sound exaggerated, but like even Sri Aurobindo needed the Mother for his work. 🤝🌷 […]
No doubt about it. If one finds the complimentary being or the shakti of the person, life becomes not only happy but smoother. It is
Sir, in my relationship with the Mother, I would want it to be as pure as possible, without any demands or wishes for the satisfaction of desire, but in the worldly life I would like to succeed and be a great man. This is what I meant by my wish of not giving up desires.🌷✨[…]
I find it very beautiful to offer everything to the mother and I am content to receive her love, but in worldly life I wish
A part of me has been struggling with sexual impulses and masturbation for many years. Another part of me has been enjoying sexual impulses. I am a bit confused about the idea of accelerated evolution and the idea of patience when dealing with deep-rooted animality. 🙏🏻🌱 […]
This is how it gradually exits in most people. The higher centres respond and open, the psychic being steps out into the front. But the
Alok da, this might not exactly be a serious spiritual question with depth, but forgive me for asking this. One consistent pattern from childhood is that one sees is that in all the images and depictions that one gets acquainted of rishis, yogis that they really have massive long hair. 🧔🏻♀️🪷[…]
Hairs and Nails represent the inconscient atavistic elements in humans. They have an evolutionary necessity in animals but in human beings they are simply an
But doesn’t marriage keep people stable also – or would they drown themselves in alcohol and drugs, as in the West, due to loneliness? Free intimacy is also a hindrance, right? At least it fixes your emotional, physical, and financial needs. To explore higher areas of life… or wouldn’t everyone just live like animals? Osho’s ways were effective in giving an alternative to marriage? 🏡🌿
Marraige is like a double edged sword. If the partner is right it can help create stability. If the partner is not the right one
In the First Rik of the Rig Veda, Sri Aurobindo describes the nature of the Supreme as Sat-Chit-Ananda across different states of being. While explaining Nirguna and Saguna Sat, he uses phrases like “they nivṛtta, He nivṛtta” and “they pravṛtta, He nivṛtta”, which I find difficult to grasp. ☀️🕉️[…]
The Lord is both pravritti and nivratti, as the Fire and the Sun are both pravritti and nivratti. As Light they simply stand back and
Are Self-respect and Ego the same? 🪞🙏🏻
Self respect is one of the forms of the ego. It could be a sattwic or a rajo-sattwic ego but an ego reaction nonetheless. The
Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to Mother for helping me to overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. 🤝🌷
A marraige that does not fulfil certain basic conditions is not a marraige at all but a forced togetherness for both. Love and mutual respect
What is the spiritual significance behind the tradition of welcoming the Srimad Bhagavatam home specifically on Bhadrapada Purnima? 📖🙏🏻[…]
In ancient times, especially in India, the very concept of Time fascinated the advanced thinkers and sages. They tried to see the link between the
I am facing intense turmoil in my marriage due to my spouse’s chronic anger, alcohol struggles, and verbal and physical abuse, which have severely strained our home and my inner peace. Despite my sincere efforts to hold the family together for our children, the hostility and control have only escalated, leaving me anxious and exhausted. 🙏🏻🌷 […]
The only proper feasible option before you is to progressively detach yourself inwardly from your husband while outwardly doing your duties with the changed spirit
Is being detached the highest form of spirituality? If so, how would it essentially feel? When it feels like nothing will affect me because I don’t get closer to anything, it feels like I’m not alive. Not feeling anything is like being dead.🌤️🙏🏻[…]
Detachment is certainly not the highest spiritual virtue of spiritual life. It is one of the practices and not even the highest or the best.
