Alok da, what’s the best biographical work on Sri Aurobindo that covers various phases of his life🧐? Should I bother myself with the biography written by Peter heehs?

Peter Heehs biography is, in my view, misleading and diabolic. I have already written much about it earlier. There are several beautiful biographies from which you can select.

Rishabh Chand: Sri Aurobindo, His Life Unique is best for the pre-Pondicherry period.

Satprem: Adventure of Consciousness is wonderful from the presentation of ideas.

AB Purani: Life of Sri Aurobindo is a standard biography, compact and comprehensive.

KR Srinivas Iyengar: Sri Aurobindo is quite good and exhaustive.

There are others but these four are factual and very good.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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🫤.

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 …
