Hello Dada.. I am in lot of emotional distress and just nothing feels right. I donโt know how to put it in word at some point I feel terrible about myself and at the same time not able to hold it anymore. Things have paradoxically changed. To be honest I have a complete different perception now which is difficult to explain to anyone also sometimes I feel is it a lot of my Ego speaking and thats why the conflicts?๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช
It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on
Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?๐ชท๐๐๐ฎ
She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also
I have been living away from home for almost 9 years for my studies, and currently study in a foreign country. I usually donโt get much lonely and even if I, I get comfortable on remembering the Mother. But for sometime, I am getting too emotional on festivals such as today, which usually results in a fever and impacts my work. How should I deal with it?๐ก๐๐ฅบ๐งธโ
It is most likely the result of home-sickness arising out of loneliness. Certain circumstances and situations are typically associated in the mind with home or
I have recently started my residency in MS opthalmology. My schedule runs from 7am to 11pm with two 36 hours shifts each week. Throughout the day I am constantly surrounded by seniors and immersed in work and we are not allowed to leave the wards during working hours. I get no time for meditation or reading books of Maa and Sri Aurobindo or even some time to sit in silence. How to do this Sadhana through work when hospital feels like a jail and certain seniors like jailors?๐ง๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฟ๐
I completely understand having gone through it in my own way. What you should do is to first change the motive of your studies. Take
So a harvard graduate etc means nothing?ย ๐๐ซ๐๐
Everything has some meaning and value. Being a graduate from Harvard can get you a good, well salaried job, facilitate research in certain fields and
Recently I read one of your replies to a Daily question regarding Saguna and Nirguna Brahman (Personal and Impersonal Divine):๐โพ๏ธ๐๐
The gods are aspects of the One Divine; they are not the Saguna Brahman. The Saguna Brahman is the Divine Source of all the qualities
But at the same time I find one who is not engaged in pursuit of name, fame or wealth in society often ends up indulging in smoking up and drugging in the name of spirituality.ย One can very conveniently say Iโm not looking for external validations (or the stars here ) fool themselves by saying they are looking for the sun. Talk yoga. But then seek these frivolities. How to know if one is seeking truth and wisdom, love and harmony, peace and illumination?ย ๐ง๐ชท๐
It is a question of inner sincerity. But that is not the point. The truth of things does not depend upon who or how many
Is it wrong to accept this change? The ease with which it has occurred, that I didn’t even notice it happening.ย ๐๐ง๏ธ๐
Gods do not act according to human ideas of moral right or wrong. They donโt suffer form jealousies, fears of rejection by devotees, anger etc.
Gopis loved Krishna but all of them except Radha experienced all the typical elements of lower nature such as jealousy, longing to tie him near them, possessiveness and all the rest. It is the typical human love transfered towards the Divine. That is why perhaps the personality of Radha has been brought in. Of course Radha does exist but in the Bhagawat she does not find a direct mention. Radha’s love is entire self-giving. Is it little wonder that Sri Krishna reveals the one and only Gita only to Arjuna, calls him His eternal Companion as Nara- Narayana.ย ๐ฆ๐ช๐ธ๐น
Bhakti is simply a general term indicating one who takes joy in God. Relations are the shades it takes.
As to Adwait, Sri Krishna clarifies
What is brahman? What is nirguna brahman? How this sristi originated according to Veda?โพ๏ธ๐๐๐
Brahman is the name given to the fundamental Reality behind and beyond everything. It is the Origin and Source of Creation, its stable unchanging basis.
Dear Alok da, I am in a very big dilemma for so long…it seems never ending. On one hand I feel that listening different masters and little bit of knowing all paths has benifit me and broadened my perspective in so many ways but on the other hand it makes me confused and I want to do a little bit of all sadhnas. Although I know my conviction of bhaktimarga being Supreme will not go but I can’t help myself spreading me too thin…pls helpโ๏ธ๐๐ชท๐
The description of your journey clearly indicates that Sri Krishna is turning you from a narrow bhakti towards gyana. Once the basis of gyana is
Over a long period of time, quite passively, slowly, a faith has developed, possibly still in its early stages of formation.ย If the Lord and the Mother say something which, if I grasp correctly, becomes my final word with least doubts. They are The Absolute Truth to me.ย I luckily had no religious background from childhood and was least interested in religion and โreligiousโ God.ย What should be my FOCUS in this life on?ย ๐ฏ๐๐๐งย ย
One of the most beautiful answer that the Mother gave to this question about ‘Who am I’ is very simply, ‘the Divine in many disguises.
I know my question may sound a little funny, but it is a very serious matter for me. God has designed the human body so perfectly โ every organ performs its function with remarkable efficiency. Yet when it comes to the heart, I often feel confused. Why is the heart โprogrammedโ in such a way that when someone enters it, it can take years to forget them, bringing so much pain and emotional turmoil?๐ถ๐ง๐ช๐
Yes, the very same memories that help connect the dots of life become a source of pain when the heart-strings are snapped suddenly. The root
Alok da, I want to come to Pondicherry, please help me. I want to work in the ashram. I want to do the work of The Mother. I only have some savings and I have a daughter. I want to give myself completely to The Mother.๐ชท๐๐ ๐ฒ
Doing The Motherโs work is possible in several ways including while staying in the place where you presently live. One doesnโt need to come to
Today I received your 8 books on savitri so mera question tha how should I go about reading savitri. Should I read the main book savitri and then read your book? What is the correct method for maximum transformation??๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ โก๏ธ ๐ฟ
The entire Savitri is embedded within the Readings. Read a few passages everyday. Read slowly and meditate upon them entering deeper into the spirit of
What about the people who drug smoke and smoke up?ย And the so called spiritual hippies and junkies..Are they serious about the path..ย ๐ธ๏ธ๐๐ท๐ฌ
I don’t understand the meaning or the sense of your question about hippies and junkies. Who can say by outward things as to who is
From a materialistic worldly perspective, I don’t have anything substantial with me. All I have is the daily grind of earning a livingโnothing more. I don’t know why I couldn’t progress further in life. Even though I have a family with a daughter, I haven’t been able to build a house or secure a well-paying job. As long as I live, I have to keep doing some work or the other. There’s no guarantee of age or health for me. I have no complaints about this life, but somewhere, the need for money keeps arising.๐๏ธ๐ฐโ๐ฆ
Fate is always a mixed baggage for everyone. The silver lining is that despite the rigors and the challenges, despite the stresses and the sufferings
Along with that I have also judged people specially boys who do intoxicants. Like they are not serious about their life and the health impact it has on them. Like itโs an addiction and not a sign of strong character. A weakness. What are your thoughts on that.ย And what about higher drugโs like lsd etc..ย ๐ธ๏ธ๐๐ท๐ฌ
Addictions of all kinds do indicate a weakness of will. And the more we indulge in it the weaker we become.
