Sir, whenever I think about watching a movie or a series, I start feeling something unpleasant. It doesn’t feel good. I get a different kind of feeling that is not joyful. Even when I start watching, I feel something inside, like—“What am I doing? Am I betraying Mother?” So, should I not watch movies? Or can I watch them? Is this coming from my mind or from the psychic being?🎞️🎥🍿🎬

These unpleasant and not-good thoughts and feelings come.

These thought suggestions come from a type of adverse forces that want the sadhak to feel guilty and unfit. Do not listen to them. The Mother rarely spoke of dos and don’t. She wants us to grow conscious about why we do what we do. One may watch a movie for sensual stimulation or for a beautiful story. It is the motive and the type of movie which is important. Watching horror or crude and vulgar movies debases the consciousness and hence is harmful. On the other hand there are movies that inspire, reveal beautiful shades of life, courage and faith and endurance or of high possibilities or a kind of ideal or a subtle, profound truth. These are clearly good and even helpful to understand life better.

Affectionately,

Is eating milk and white bread for breakfast with a dash of sugar a bad thing? Modern food guidelines are making too much of white bread and sugar. They have almost declared them as human toxins, to the point of cutting some food sources completely from one’s diet. And I believe in eating everything in moderation. Where is the truth behind such regulations? 🥛🐄🥗🤔
