Recently, I have been losing a lot of friends. Not that I have many friends. But my core friends are discontinuing their friendship with me.ย Some of my friends fell into drugs, alcohol, smoking. They invited me, but I refused, so they started distancing themselves. ๐ค๐๏ธ[โฆ]
First of all my appreciation that you are able to see through these people who, under different names, are trying to destabilise the country, hurt
Reflecting on The Mother’s words, “The divine force is with you โ feel its presence more and more and be careful never to betray it,” what does it mean to betray this Force, and how does that betrayal happen? Could you explain how one can stay vigilant and avoid betraying its presence in daily life? ๐ฅ๐๐ป
Here is the full statement of The Mother written to one of the Capatains in the Ashram Physical Education Department in response to his prayer.
1) Whenever I try to meditate, after some time I see a brief flash of a cobra’s hood for a fraction of a second. It isn’t very sharpโjust a 3D gray patch with faintly outlined features. I don’t feel scared or uneasy. Why do I keep seeing this? ๐๐ฆ[โฆ]
Cobra represents the urge to evolve or the beginning of the evolutionary process. It is obviously a good sign. Snakes in general represent fear, fears
An astrologer recommended that I perform specific rituals to appease the planets and remove delays in marriage, but this transactional approach feels fundamentally misaligned with true surrender to the Divine Mother. ๐ช๐๐ป[…]
Absolutely true. I look upon it as trying to bribe the gods which is so absurd. A true god is much more happy when we
After watching your session on surrender, I realized I feel more like an ordinary seeker than a true yogi. For months, I have faced constant setbacksโfailed job interviews, a delayed appraisal, stalled book plans, and growing financial strain. In my desperation, I even turned to astrologers. ๐๐ป๐ฑ[…]
A yogi is someone who aspires for the Divine in some aspect or the other. Prayers etc are means. One may or may not use
Pranam Alokda, after years of searching for a suitable life partner for our daughter, she has recently connected with someone with whom she shares mutual respect and understanding. However, we recently learned that he has a medical condition (Protein C deficiency). ๐๐๐ป[…]
Of course it is a very personal decision. But if I were in your place I would go by what The Lord has hinted in
Reflecting on our discussion about the Motherโs phrase “do something useful,” I had an insight while sitting in the Ashram. Perhaps being truly “useful” is not about conventional worldly productivity, but about serving as a quiet instrument that points others toward the Divine. ๐ฟ๐คฒ[…]
Absolutely true. There is nothing better than being an instrument of the Divine Mother, a living example of whatever we can conceive of the Divine.
While absorbing lifeโs experiences unconsciously through nature’s evolutionary stages culminates in human birth, does the actual spiritual awakening occur purely through Grace and the innate nature of the soul? Also, thank you for your insight on the Man of SorrowsโI will reflect on it further, as I am still working to fully grasp the concept. ๐ฑโจ
Human birth is not the ultimate. It is the peak of creation in ignorance. In human beings the Ignorance becomes a consciously seeking Ignorance. It
Dada, due to some exchange of harsh words in a patha chakra a few months back, who is twenty-five years younger than me, I could not sustain the shock, and, it is still continuing within me. I could not say a word to him due to his status.๐๐ป๐ฟ[…]
What better remedy for a devotee than the name of the Divine Mother and faith in Her Grace. How does the remark and criticism of
In the long poem ‘Krishna’, Sri Aurobindo writes the following sentence: Two in One, Two who know difference rich in sense, Two to clasp, One to be, this His strange mystery. Here, ‘Two’ means who, really? ๐๏ธโจ
As we see in the poem itself, Sri Aurobindo describes these two aspects of Sri Krishna. One is the Universal or Cosmic Divine hidden in
I feel completely lost on my path and overwhelmed by academic and inner struggles that may force me to leave my PhD. Unable to burden my parents, I carry this pain alone, yet whenever I look at the Motherโs photograph, an intense guilt arises that my mistakes are too many and that it is too late to fix anything. ๐๐ป๐[…]
One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her
Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI. People across the globe are sharing their existential condition of living in perpetual anxiety, anticipating the inevitable doom and whatnot. ๐ค๐๏ธ[…]
One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates
Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. ๐ช๐๐ป[…]
Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of
I would firstly express my deepest gratitude towards you for having conducted such an enriching and insightful Study Camp in Gurgaon. Your deep and insightful explanations made difficult topics like Divine Leela and the new Creation so simple to understand for beginners like me. ๐๐๏ธ […]

I have been in my job a long time; it suits my temperament, offers a good work-life balance, and I try to do it in the spirit of the Motherโs yoga, focusing on inner growth and sincere offering rather than external rewards. ๐ผ๐ฑ[…]
This is just the perfect approach and the right attitude you have taken from the perspective of yoga. It will give you time, space and
How can I be kind, loving, and non-violent towards someone whom I feel hurt by? Especially in close relationships, it becomes difficult for me to remain non-reactive. I really do want to be loving despite what the other person has done, but I end up angry and resentful, which only makes my situation worse. My ‘want’ or ‘will’, no matter how strong it is, to still be loving and compassionate doesn’t help me. ๐ค๐
Being kind, loving and compassionate may or may not help the other person but it will certainly help you. Our body and mind respond to
How to remove this mental pride? ๐ฑ๐๐ป
The mind itself can get rid of it once it understands its limits and limitations. In fact reading Sri Aurobindo itself helps us to grow
Mother answers to one of the disciples: Yes, it is morally true, and one day it will also be physically true. Can we say the same about the triumph of Savitri over Death? That the bringing back to life of Satyavan was a spiritual truth, and it is a matter of time that it will become physical truth as well? ๐ โจ
Yes, absolutely. These stories indicate the opening of a door of possibility for earthly life. In fact, traditionally, after this vrat, the story of Savitri
