I had a dream where I was at my mother’s house and saw two snakes. They were not black; one had brown patterns or markings on its body. I felt quite scared when I saw them. One of the snakes was thick and moving slowly, but it wasn’t attacking or harming anyone. 🐍🌙[…]
The snakes at your mother’s house seem to be the remnants of some past heredity tendencies that are there in the subconscient nature. They are
In a dream, I was standing with my partner and a friend in front of a Hanuman Ji idol. It was a simple clay idol, without any sindur on it. We noticed that one of the fingers next to His thumb was missing. We were discussing how, for Hanuman Ji, it wouldn’t be difficult to get back the missing finger. 🙏🏻✨[…]
Interesting vision of living Hanuman Ji. It was not just an idol but the real presence.
Since it was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I happened to see many unknown live-recorded clips of the attacks and I cannot help but think there is something so eerie and demonic about the colossal scale at which violence is unleashed in modern times.🌍🕊️[…]
Why should you worry or fear? If you believe that you are The Mother’s child, then where is the room for any anxiety or worry?
Have you reached that stage Alok da, where people and situations just don’t bother u now. You’re over and above it all ? Steady… 🧭🕊️
As to people and what they think or say about me never mattered since I am conscious of, even as an adolescence. It was partly
I seem to be naturally attracted to knowledge and spiritual study. Reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, reflecting on their teachings, and contemplating spiritual truths give me a deep sense of meaning and fulfillment. 📚🌱[…]
It is a beautiful sign of being taken up by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The soul and mind has opened. It is just a
Alok Da, this is too radical for me. Please ground this for me. I am not challenging you in any way. I want to see the writings of Mother/Sri Aurobindo where they say that “option 2” or “getting his hands dirty” is how the Divine works. 📖🪷
There are no such exact answers to exact questions like options one or two. In fact I could equally say none of the above or
Despite my spiritual dedication to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I find myself struggling with strong lower impulses, insecurity, and destructive anger that ultimately ruined a meaningful relationship. 🕊️🌱[…]
What you need is to first grow the strong foundations. These foundations are needed in life as well as in yoga. The foundations required is
Divine Mother says, “An aimless life is always a miserable life.” Please guide us: what should be our constant aim? 🧭🪷
It is for each one to find the goal. But in a general sense, as the Mother describes, the quality of our life will depend
When something is happening at a physical level out of the blue, how do I know it is something from within me or absorbed from outside? When I was in Pondicherry, I was in such a blissful state. same happens when I am in Vancouver. But in Toronto, I go out(for a walk or any work) in a beautiful, blissful state and after coming back home, most of the times I don’t feel the same. 🛡️🕊️ […]
The experiences of life, practically all of them are, in their last analysis, subject dependent. The same place, environment, situation can trigger different kinds, often
Please help me to understand the doors through which ego and desire seize us and how to free ourselves from the bondage of ego and desire while staying away from Sri Aurobindo Ashram. How should we aspire to get samadhi darshan as early as possible? 🪷🕊️
The doors are within us. It is upto us to keep them open or closed. In the body these are the senses. In the mind
Sir, we know that Sri Krishna descended into the physical body of Sri Aurobindo. Which Overmental God descended into the body of the Mother? 🙏🏻✨
She already had her identification with the Divine Mother, the Mother of the gods. That had happened already in 1914 as you will see in
For us Westerners, it is sometimes difficult to arrive at a clear understanding of the steps involved in this yoga, because certain terms carry different meanings in a Western context. 🧭🪷[…]
Yes I understand that. There is a difficulty with the Indian mind also because we are accustomed to a certain spiritual outlook that often misses
It’s so sad, Alok da, to fight over money and property and forget the emotional bond. Cheap narrow-mindedness. That’s too my dad’s money. Not brothers or SiLs. So wrong. 💔💰
Yes but the world is full of such things. Even great wars have taken place over women, wealth and power.
Please refer to Prayers and Meditations prayer on August 13, 1914, where the Mother writes, “…accept the offering of my being despite its little worth and its limitations: Come.” My question is: if Mother is the Divine Mother, then why is She calling herself “being of little worth and limitations”? 🙏🏻📖
Here is a letter of Sri Aurobindo himself explaining this in response to a similar question.
‘In some of the Mother’s prayers which are
So how do we deal with situations when things are turning against us – offer it to Divine ? And wait .. .. .. for something bigger to unfold.. Stick to our path and Dharma.. ignore the negative aspects.. ?
One should be pushing one’s efforts only and only towards the goal one has chosen. If the goal is high then nothing else would matter.
What do these terms mean: Atman -self, Soul and Psychic Being? 🪷📖
Atman literally means the Self with a capital S as different from the ego-self which changes as the field of nature changes. The true Self
If the soul becomes the Psychic being after it grows into a divine possibility, does that mean it has reached the highest divine consciousness? 🪷✨ […]
The soul fully blossoming into a psychic being fulfilling its divine possibility is indeed the first peak, the highest point for the individual consciousness to
This is a question from my mother. Her question is: What is the symbol behind a desert? Why don’t rivers go there and why do they go to the sea, where there is already plenty of water? 🏜️🌊 […]
Nature creates things as symbols and representations of deeper truths. Deserts are the symbol of emptiness, just as snowy mountain peaks where nothing grows are
