How to recognise psychic and vital? I am a devotee of Sri Aurobindo and Divine Mother. They have saved my life from many set backs. A few days back, My interaction with my younger son has turned bitter. According to me I asked him a general question, he got irritated and stopped communicating with me. I am a single parent, brought up two children., they are grown ups, in their 50s. I am concerned, so asked my son, over which he is terribly upset. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒🛡️🌱🧸

I stay alone, sons are living separately. I am worried and all the time my mind is thinking on this. Daily I am praying to Divine Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Please guide me.

The psychic is always surrendered to the Divine Mother with faith and complete confidence in Her Grace. It is always at peace like Prahlad, always full of joy. It is never afraid of anything including death. The vital is restless, full of wants and anxieties, hopes and expectations, fears and desires.

I am not sure why your son got annoyed. But generally one doesn’t give advices to grown ups, especially children after they are 21, unless they ask for it. If your younger son is 50, you must be entering the age when our mind should be directed fully towards God rather than the family. You should be available for them if needed and they should be available for you if you need, especially during illness etc. For the rest leave it to the Divine Mother and Her Grace to work out things according to the higher Plan.

How can i purify my relationship with the Mother? Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time if i make a promise to myself that i will not ask unnecessary things and face difficulties myself seems not the right thing to do. I feel my relationship with Mother is the most valued thing in my life so how do i make it pure.

Surely we can ask the Divine Mother for what we need. Only our relationship should not be confined to that. One should learn to give, to give out of joy, something of oneself, work, actions, money, something for Her Purpose in …

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. 🌿🕊️[…]

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
