AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir from the last 4 months I have been taking medicines for severe depression. And now I am fed up. Everytime I am getting suicidal thoughts of killing myself totally and ending everything. I am not able to comprehend as what is right for me. Sir i am fed up with these medicines and I have lost all my self confidence and i really don’t know what life holds for me. I have been practicing Mantra sadhana and meditation and kriyas also praying to the mother but I am not getting any answers. Sir plzz help me come out of this situation,ย  I want to do good work for the world and my parents as they have done so much for me. But now I am down with such severe depression and also whatever I am studying i am not able to retain the concepts. Even the hardest of things I am finding very difficult to do. Even the hardest of things I am finding very difficult to do. Plzz help me come out of it as I don’t want to live like this.๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿชซ

As to the medicines I will not advice you to stop them. You should continue them in consultation with your doctor. 

Now if you really want to come out, if you truly have a sincere will to come out of this state then stop lamenting and thinking about your depression. The more you think about the difficulties, any difficulty,  it will increase further. Instead, focus on what you want to do, what you want to be.

Do not even entertain thoughts of suicide. It will complicate your issues further and put the stamp of depression for lives to come. We must face with faith and courage the problems that come to us in life.

It is important to stay busy and do regular physical exercises. Pray to God to give you courage and faith. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is no need to delve into knowledge of geo-politics? It is one profession among many. No one is expected to learn about every profession, isn’t it? What one must know is about the nation and the people where one lives, their roots, thought, attitudes, especially something about the culture, the deepest tendencies, the highest …

The Mother explained that in old age, though consciousness remains intact, the physical instrument may falter like a piano with missing strings, limiting its outward expression.

That is why Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak of a higher and lower Perfection. The higher Perfection refers to the soul’s Perfection, the spiritual growth from a state of Ignorance to a state of Truth and Vastness. The lower Perfection is the Perfection of the instrumental nature, of the mind, heart, life and body, to develop them through …

Dear Sir, why is that the ego anti-divine? Why does it is not naturally surrenders to the divine? Why is there division and a distance from the divine? Why does it have to die ultimately for the complete spiritualization? ๐Ÿชž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Ego is neither Divine nor anti-Divine. It is a part of human nature whose purpose is to create the sense of individuality. Individuality is a necessary element in human evolution. Its purpose is to create the sense of freewill, within certain limits of course. Freewill in this context simply means that the individual must chose from a number of forces impacting upon the person. The choices may be aligned to our deeper truth, swabhava and swadharma, …
