Home » Spirituality » My partner is not willing to accept my connection with the Ashram, the Mother, and Sri Aurobindo. He is opposed to the idea and keeps telling me not to follow such things. He questions how I came across all this, suggesting it happened only because I was alone. He believes that if I had the right people around me, I wouldn’t feel the need for such a path. According to him, I’m drawn to it only because I’m depressed and not surrounded by the right kind of people. I told him that I genuinely like going there, but he still doesn’t understand or accept it😠.

May be you should not press this on him and equally let him not press his views upon you. Grow together on the basis of love and mutual respect supporting each other’s unique journey even if it be in different directions for now.
Affectionately,
Alok Da

Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
