Dada, I asked you a few days ago that my every friend is being removed from my life, not that we are fighting or something, but they either get married or they shift to other place. You replied that Mother is preparing me for a big change and new friends with same aspiration will come to me. But Dada, when? ๐ฑ๐๏ธ […]
Actually you have yourself answered it. There is something in you that seeks the Divine but there are parts of nature that refuse. The ‘loneliness’
After coming to the center, Mother is fulfilling all of my aspirations like to be a part of the sadhaks, getting chance to clean the place near Samadhi, plucking flower for Mother etc. But my dipper and at present most aspired thing is to Live In her Presence. ๐๐ป๐ผ […]
I am glad you have the opportunity to serve Her in the center. It is indeed a privilege and a Grace to be able to
As I look within me, there is one part which is luminous, wants the Divine and at the same time there is this another dark part which is creating so much trouble. Sometimes thoughts linger on desires and ambition and I consciously pull them back; sometimes past wrong tendencies come up. ๐ชท๐๐ป […]
This division is in everybody. It is by sadhana that one becomes one-pointed. It takes long time. Faith, sincerity, aspiration and surrender hastens the process.

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have opened a very wide spiritual path on which each one advances based on one’s own temperament. If you feel
Hello Alokda, in one of your talks you said that anyone can attain mukthi by giving up evolution karma if you want to. Can you explain what does it means to attain mukthi in such a way? What does evolution karma mean and attaining higher consciousness through that way? ๐ฑ๐๏ธ
The law of karma is essentially a law of evolution of the Soul as seed into its full divine possibility, the tree. The soul is
It is observed that in many houses, the presence of hostile forces can be seen and felt. They seem to spoil the mindset of people by making small issues appear like a mountain and by infusing hatred and disharmony among family members. ๐ก๐๏ธ […]
These quarrels, anger, hate are not the direct handiwork of the hostile forces but rather of the lower vital forces in which most human beings
What is the meaning of Maya according to Sri Aurobindo? Shankara clarifies it as unreal. ๐โจ […]
All begins with our conception of the Divine or the origin and the purpose of creation. According to the experience of Vedic Rishis, the Divine
Reflecting on your previous answer, I feel that conceptual meaning may be only a partial mental translation of the truth carried by the mantra, since the ordinary mind cannot fully grasp the totality of the revealed consciousness. Is this understanding correct? ๐โจ
Yes quite so. Conceptual meaning is or can be a starting point. But one has to go beyond percept and concept by going beyond to
I get the feeling that my younger brother and his partner aren’t happy about the idea of โโme going to another country. Whenever I bring it up, their responses don’t seem very enthusiastic; plus, since itโs a business run by my brother and his friend, it sounds like staying there would essentially be like working a regular job. ๐งญ๐ก๏ธ[…]
It is important to be independent, financially and otherwise. Lower movements are everywhere. There is no place upon earth where one can completely escape them.
โI am writing to seek your guidance on certain spiritual principles regarding the practice of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra (“Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare”).๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ชท […]

Alok da, I was going through this work by the philosopher Descartes called Rules for the Direction of the Mind. So much of this work is about how to better purify the various human faculties of sense perception, memory, judgment, imagination, etc., so that one can observe minute facts of nature with precision and without prejudiced universal presuppositions and arrive at a true universal knowledge, which is arrived at only after mastery of minute particulars. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฌ๐๐[…]
Certainly the Hindus knew the various means of purifying the mind and intelligence and, during the heydays of ancient India, the Vedic period and even
Sir, is whatever happens with us is always for our best? ๐๐ป๐ผ
The Mother has given a very beautiful and complete answer to this.
‘Is it really the best that always happens?… It is clear that all
I frequently experience sudden, intense visual or mental sensations triggered by everyday moments like listening to music or watching sports. These fleeting perceptions last less than a second before vanishing, leaving me unable to analyze or recall what I saw. ๐ฅ๐ป๐ฆ[…]
The second is a complimentary response of your soul. Your psychic being is trying to emerge out of the shell of the present ego personality.
Seeking mental clarity to illuminate the mind rather than fixate on rigid concepts, I ask this from the premise of The Life Divine: How far does the eternally unveiled Divine and His Shakti directly intervene within this veiled evolutionary world? ๐ฑโจ[…]
Spiritual experience affirms that creation exists at at least two levels. In the evolutionary world like ours it can be seen as two stages of
If so, genuine bhakti may truly begin only when the Psychic Being comes forward. ๐๐ป๐ชท
True Bhakti starts as the psychic being begins to awaken and take lead of life. But its full emergence and coming forward completely takes time.
I have held these experiences close out of fear they might be mere mental illusions, but they have now become constant: spontaneously seeing the Mother’s feet or form before me, her symbol glowing during prayer, and a deep orange sun against the sky.๐ชทโจ๐๐ป[…]
These are all genuine experiences that indicate a deep inner link with the Divine Mother, especially Her Knowledge or Maheshwari aspect. …
This new-age concept of detachment – how valid is it? Does it work? Sincerity of effort is more important, right, than jumping from one thing to the other. As you said, nothing is perfect. Had to be made so. Then why so much stress on it?ย ๐ง๐๏ธ […]
A certain degree of inner detachment gives us a vantage point in terms of taking decisions. It also blunts the reactions of pleasure and pain
My dealing assistantโs brother-in-law has been very ill for 3 weeks. He is suffering from kidney cancer and a blockage in the arteries. He is nearly 45 years old and has 2 daughters (ages 16 and 14). ๐๐ป๐๏ธ[…]
