I have been reading Savitri and other major Arya writings of Sri Aurobindo for last couple of years and I have observed that when I read it for the first time I didn't understand anything but I held on to it, because of the Mother's advice to read it even if you don't understand. 😊📖[...]

I have observed that there is a drastic change in my level of understanding as compared to the time when I started. Even today, when I find a passage difficult to understand and when I return to it after a month, I can understand it easily. So, can you please explain the effect of His words on the human mind, its mechanism? I am asking this question because there is no effort from my side to raise my intellect; I just love Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, their teaching and mission.

That is a very correct observation which quite a few people make. The Mother has mentioned the process passingly that ‘the words create new brain cells if necessary for the understanding.’ It is due to the power contained in their words. These words literally force open the mind. Besides, love is a magic key, sufficient in itself to open the doors of knowledge and a higher understanding that arises as our mind opens to a greater Light and ascends to a higher consciousness.

Affectionately,

I watched a movie named DHURANDHAR, because of many positive reviews from people amongst the followers of Sri Aurobindo. I felt a kind of trust in their words. The tone of the movie felt very intense, and the whole movie gave me a reminder of what you have said about the dance of Kali Mata, for the protection of Dharma. 🕉️🎬[…]

Every movie can be seen with the lens of an all-inclusive spiritual vision. Such a seeing understands the forces at work behind (as you mention). It also puts everything in its right …

The world has to wake up to the stark reality and danger of political Islam. Right now the Western world has either not realised it or they deliberately ignoring it. The result is what happened in Afghanistan, Pakistan and is happening in Bangladesh. Islam in its present form is not compatible with the world’s progress and is in fact a ….
