Worldly life, that is to say, a life in pursuit of material aims brings its own challenges that are mainly outer. The spiritual life brings another set of challenges, not from outside but from within. These challenges are subtler and often difficult even to detect because the enemy here is within.

Yes it is true that spiritual life, when lived sincerely brings abiding peace and happiness which is again independent of all outer conditions. The happiness of a person living a life for material gains is fleeting because it is dependent upon outer objects that are, by their nature transient and temporary. The material life is like drinking something that is sweet in the beginning but becomes bitter as you reach the end. The spiritual life is more difficult in the beginning but becomes sweeter and sweeter as you reach the end.

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. Because of this tendency, I feel myself incapable towards building lasting friendships. I have cried about it, and at this point I don’t even feel like having friends anymore because I’m conscious of this defect in my nature, so I don’t want to repeat the same cycle again and experience the same moral pain that I feel. For now, I can only observe it and feel bad about it. How to change it I have no idea🫤.

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 …
