Sir, Sri Aurobindo talks about the descent of peace, light, force while doing above-head concentration. he also speaks about higher planes of consciousness, e.g., higher mind, intuitive mind, etc., and the ascent of consciousness into these planes. What is the correlation between these two explanations? 😊🙏🏻🌀🌸
Ascent means that the consciousness begins to operate in a new mode. It is somewhat like a child going from school into graduation wherein he
I visited somebody’s house (some rich businessman) and he had, I believe, 11, 12, or 13 entrances into his house (I forgot the exact number). And each of those entrances was guarded by a small fluffy dog of the same breed (very beautiful). 💭🐍🐕🦺🏡🌾[…]
From your description it seems to be some place in the vital world, some benevolent being of the mid-worlds that holds wealth. The dogs are
There is mention of Agni in the Veda is that same Psychic Being in Integral Yoga. 🔥😊🙏🏻🌸
Agni in the Vedas is the leader of the human march. It represents the Divine Will and Wisdom that has built the worlds and hence
We know the date of the descent of the Overmind and Supermind on the physical body of Sri Aurobindo. Sir, when Overmind and Supermind descend on the physical matter of the Mother? 😊🙏🏻🪷🌄
In fact it is The Mother who brought down the descent of the Overmind as well as the Supermind, on the …
Alokda, how should I understand Sat and Asat? Where should I refer to in Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s work? Please guide me. 😊🙏🏻🌼❤️🔥
You will find this in The Life Divine especially in the Chapter on the One Existent. It is used in two ways with a difference
Achilles saved the Greeks but couldn’t save himself, whereas Odysseus had all of his companions killed and himself saved. Why is that and what contrast in their qualities is Homer trying to convey? 🤔⛵🪷
Achilles didn’t exactly save the Greeks. He is no doubt the hero of the Trojan War as portrayed in the Iliad. Though the greatest of
In the context of Sri Aurobindo’s and the Mother’s teachings, I have three questions regarding the future manifestation of Sri Krishna’s divine abode on earth. 🌏🦚😊🙏🏻🪷[…]
1. When the plane of Bliss, Anandamaya loka manifests here, as eventually it must some day, then it will not be exactly as there. If
What was Mother’s view of classical music? I mean, were there composers that she believed could really be uplifting spiritually? I am interested, as it was around the turn of the 20th century, in her young age and youth, that a coarser movement in music came to evolve. 🎶🎼😊🙏🏻🪷[…]
If we go through the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother we shall see that they had a great regard for classical music. The
I am writing a 1000-word essay, and the topic that has come to mind is ‘Ekam Sad Viprā Bahudhā Vadanti’. Will you suggest some sources, writings, etc. This is my first attempt at writing something. 📝😊🙏🏻🌼
I can’t say because I never believed in academic approach. I wrote extensively but never consulted books. Wrote through inspiration and reflection. This original thinking
Sir Pranam. Now since some days I am going through Sri Aurobindo’s Record of Yoga, Part 1. I am just reading it with only a little understanding. But I am coming accross a word “KAMANANDA” frequently in the book. A simple example: “Recurrence of intense kamananda throughout the day”, Page 671. Please enlighten me about the use of this word in such a manner. 😐🙏🏻🪷🦋[…]
Records of Yoga were actually never meant to be read by anyone. They are Sri Aurobindo’s personal notes and neither the Mother nor Sri Aurobindo
How to become Street Smart? 👥😎🦋🌻
Why should one want to become street smart? Perhaps there is some feeling of inferiority which comes from comparison with others. The best way to
My Guru’s wife (Guruma) is still in this world. In the practice of Siddha Yoga worship, Gurudev has always been foremost, and during his lifetime, he never openly spoke about Guruma. I don’t know why, but I’ve always felt a deep love for Radha Ma, and I would get emotional and cry. I kept having visions of Guruma as well. 😊🙏🏻🌸[…]
The true basis of relationship between the Guru and the disciplle is the seeking for Truth or Wisdom and Light. This seeking formulates itself in
Listening to your talks, I wonder if humanity’s current psychological turmoil stems from the pressure of the Supramental descent forcing hostile vital forces to cling more desperately to earth—much like Arjuna’s Visada Yoga at the start of his transformation. 🤔🌍🫨🌾[…]
If one were to summarise it in one sentence then one can say, in the deepest mystic sense, that the world has forgotten the Divine
Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful. Will the mantra respect that person’s free will and grant them such wisdom and happiness within the material world? 📜😊🙏🏻🌼🌍[…]
It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There
Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻👩🏻👧🏻👦🏻🛕🌸
As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things
I just saw that Hitler arrested some people and did something very wrong with him. I went there to rescue them, and Hitler’s people arrested me and my people too. I was assured from within in the dream that I’ll be freed from here. 💭😥💔🥀
It means you should be careful about people, even with good intention such as helping them. There are influences people cast using truth to vindicate
I slept listening to the “Divine sacrifice” About Sri Aurobindo’s physical withdrawal. With full devotion in my heart. The dream I saw was completely opposite. I was full of fear, and it was not a mere dream; I could feel the whole thing. The fear was very concrete and I was calling ‘Maa Bhagvati’, ‘Maa Bhagvati’ to tackle the situation. It was very real. 💭😐🙏🏻❤️🔥🦋
Yes sometimes when a part of our being opens fully, another part, that is like a shadow dormant in the subconscient rises to resist vehemently,
If that is the case, what is Mukthi? When they say that great saints like Sankara Charity and Sree Ragavendran attained Mukthi. Is it a wrong interpretation? Please explain. I am still confused about sins. 🙄🙏🏻🌼🍂[…]
Doing good is one thing, Mukti is another. Doing good or more specifically engaging in Sattwik acts helps prepare us for Mukti unless we get
