Home » World As It Is » Alok Da, Please provide a solution to a problem. Sri Aurobindo says that the soul of a nation is not subject to the law of Karma. It would be a great kindness if you could guide us about this. In fact, we see that what imperialist Britain did, it is now having to suffer the consequences. There will be other examples as well. Is India also grappling with the problems it faces today due to its own actions, its own Karma🤨?

The law of karma is a law of evolution through experience and learning rather than of reward and punishment.

This happens ordinarily through rebirth because the body and the mind being finite cannot endure the journey continuously.

Nations are different. They change and grow to express their unique soul. This change may come about through different kinds of experiences.

For example what wrong or evil karma had India incurred that it had to go through the pains of slavery? The reason was an excessive other worldliness and illusionism. Mayavada is not evil so to say but it is paralysing and takes away your contribution to the world-yagna. Hence India suffered not because of sin or evil but because it has to learn its own lesson and grow so as to occupy its rightful place in the world.

The same is happening to Britain which misused its gifts by deviating from its soul. Hence it is being forced to discover it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I sometimes feel deep guilt or sadness about my past relationships. A few men in my life chose not to marry after our relationships ended and have said that they would only have married me. I am now happily married to someone else, but I sometimes wonder whether my presence in their lives prevented them from moving on, finding love, or living life fully. I am no longer in contact with them, but I hear these things through mutual friends. 😥🌹[…]

The decision to get married or live with someone is a serious one, especially marraige. It cannot be taken based on promises made during a state of emotion. The whole idea of …

Alok Da, I have been having clear dreams for the last few days. My wife, who is pregnant, was feeding milk to the lion’s babies. I brought the milk from somewhere. And when I asked her to come closer, my wife refused and said not to come inside, the lion can attack. Sometimes in dreams, my breathing stops, but I feel alive. And in my entire life, I never gone through this kind of clear dream. 🤱🏼👼🏼🦁

The child in your wife’s womb seems to be a special soul. Is she on some path or has an Ista devata? The sense of stopping of breathing in dreams is not uncommon and there is nothing to worry

I’m under a lot of pressure to get married. I feel very, very, very lost. My parents have passed on a few contacts, and I have been talking to those guys. There is nothing wrong with these guys – in fact, they’re quite kind, mature, understanding and qualified, and one of them has a good depth of thought process and they are very interested in me. 🧑🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻🌹😫[…]

I think you are mixing several things, especially two very different things. The first and most important is what you should do with your life. In other words, what is your aim, the purpose of your life. There is a place for everyone, a place that we alone can occupy but to find that place we must find the purpose. In a general sense, the purpose of life is to grow and progress, to pursue excellence and…
