Aren’t the conditions like inertia, inspiration also because of God. Why do we have to face helpless situations? Why does God make us suffer? What is God’s purpose behind this😳?

God does not work directly upon us. His action is veiled and modified by the Nature. This is so because we are not ready to bear the direct action of the Divine. Hence we have to undergo a long journey through the darkness of ignorance. What we experience as suffering is a challenge thrown at us, a process through which we grow progressively strong and wise. The game of creation is not yet over and man is not the last summit of our evolutionary possibility nor is suffering the first and last experience of our journey. Suffering comes because of our misreading of God’s intention, inability to bear the world contacts and wrong attitude towards self and life. God and His messengers come to show us the way out of the suffering and to live life freely and with delight. But man trusts his mind and its conceptions and ideas about God rather than listen to the way that is shown, he prefers the way of doubt rather than of faith and hence the suffering is prolonged needlessly.

Affectionately,

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
