AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What to tell when my friends ask what are these about Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s symbols🙂? 

You may tell them that a symbol stands for the truth of the thing that it is a symbol of. Thus for example the flag of India is a symbol of what India stands for, that is to say, green for prosperity, growth, agriculture,  saffron for strength, valour, sacrifice and, white for peace, purity with the dharma chakra or Ashok chakra in the centre representing the wheel of Dharma.  So too the Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s symbols represent their various aspects, powers and the work that they came to do. If they ask more details you may refer them to write here and ask.

Lots of love always

Being a bad friend: I see a certain insensitivity in me to other people. I lack empathy in some situations, and it makes me feel very bad about myself. I have lost friends in the past because of this. While I generally try to help people, there is something in me unsympathetic towards others.

This is not such a big defect and in certain ways it is not necessarily a defect. It is possibly because you make your own choices and have your own mind, a kind of individuality that can sometimes become a barrier in opening to …

I often experience a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) when I’m not active on social media platforms like Instagram or when I think about deleting my accounts. It’s about missing out on what’s happening in other people’s lives, falling behind on the latest trends, conversations, or even useful content related to my interests like painting, health, and more. What if I feel disconnected without being on these platforms? Also, Why do these feelings arise, and how can I manage them in a healthier way without relying on social media for a sense of belonging or staying informed😥?

These feelings arise from the collective suggestions that are floating around. The more one externalises through these means such as the social media provides, the more we get caught up in this whirlpool of suggestions. It is …

Last night, I read a page of ‘Savitri’ before going to sleep. Whenever I read something from ‘Savitri,’ it feels like something is descending within me. It’s like a kind of intoxication that comes with peace. Around 4 AM, I heard a voice within me saying, ‘I am The Mother, I am within everyone, and it is I who is doing everything.’ Are these just my thoughts that are coming to me? Besides this, it has happened two or three times that the name ‘Radha’ starts within me at night. Could there be some deep truth to all this🤨?

Thoughts are not formed by the individual brain or mind but received from several cosmic agencies. The reading of Savitri opened the doors of your mind to the higher truths not ordinarily accessible to the …
