While I understand that Helen had to leave her daughter for a greater work (though on the surface it seems selfish), I want to know what kind of compensation such souls, who have suffered directly for the Divine, get. Do they get some special Grace and do they get to be near the Divine as Avatars?β›΅πŸ‘‘πŸ¦’πŸ”₯🏰

Yes, certainly. As the Mother put it, ‘there is a divine recompense for every struggle and suffering.’ Generally this recompense is in the form of

Recently I had watched a video in which a recent monk from Vrindavan, who appears to have some spiritual awakening. He preaches the traditional ascetic ideals, denies creation as illusion and a bondage, and speaks of liberation in some heaven beyond as the only solution etc. But in recent videos he was seen to be moving in a lavish Land Rover with his disciples. He even takes allopathic treatment regarding his kidney problem. But I can not say anything about it in my surroundings as people around me may get offended. But honestly I think this is a hypocrisy. Am I right about it?🎭πŸ‘₯😏

I have also found it a hypocrisy. In fact if you really believe that the world is Maya then there is nothing to preach anything

When life feels heavy like everything is crumbling and when one is utterly helpless and cannot support a loved one. And of course, these life situations have weeded out family and friends showing the painful reality of relationships. How is one supposed to have faith and work towards the new creation? Like at times like these, all the emotions go towards finding solutions. And all the enthusiasm and positive emotions towards serving the Mother and Sri Aurobindo just vanish-it is like one could care less about the future and new creation because the present is so challenging and has been so for a very long time! It just feels very very hard. How to direct these painful emotions?πŸ§— πŸš§β›ˆοΈβ›“οΈπŸ₯Ή

These and other challenges are part of the journey of life. Leave the New Creation aside for a moment and see if there is any

A question came to me when I was listening to one of your recent talks. You were talking about Ilion and the Trojan War there. When Helen of Troy left with Paris, she left behind her little daughter, Hermione. I don’t want to judge the Divine but wouldn’t that have been traumatizing for Hermione to see her mother leave her for her lover? I know in the grand scheme of things the emotions of a little girl hardly matter but I can’t help but feel bad for her. How does the Divine compensate for such sufferings?Β β›΅πŸ‘‘πŸ¦’πŸ”₯🏰

I would like to learn the yoga of sleep. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have spoken (from my limited understanding) on the importance of the yoga of sleep and how that can be a powerful sadhana, where we can enter the subtle physical and into the realms of Sri Aurobindo’s abode. Without Ma and Sri Aurobindo’s physical presence, how can one receive the guidance if one aspires to learn this beautiful knowledge of sleep? πŸŒœπŸ’­πŸ˜΄πŸ’€

It is not a separate yoga of sleep that one has to practice but the integral yoga which, in the course of its progression enters

I feel I need the company of like minded people for studying Sri Aurobindo. I really love to read Mother and Sri Aurobindo but sometimes I can’t get myself to do so in an organised manner. A little bit of a nudge from time to time by a few friends would be great. Are the any online study circles that I can join? I don’t know of any in my city. I don’t find many people on Twitter or Discord who are into the integral yoga, hence I get into these other mixed spiritual communities and waste my time discussing many things that are irrelevant from the perspective of the Yoga.

Yes the need is valid and has its justification. There are certain online study circles, also WhatsApp groups. You…

A strength is in her that meets everything and masters and none can prevail in the end against her vast intangible wisdom and high tranquil power.Partiality she has none, but she follows the decrees of the Supreme and some she raises up and some she casts down or puts away into the darkness. So some people are damned? …. Some she castes down or put away into the darkness ? Could you please explain that?πŸ‘‘πŸŒŒβ™ΎοΈπŸŒΉ

I have been not well for most of the year of 2025. I chose not to get the back surgery, but now, I started hearing my own heartbeat in specially my left ear. ENT didn’t find much fluid in my ear so ordered CT Scan. I have 12 mm brain aneurism on the left side and need a brain surgery. Last year I kept joking that I am burning my past karma, but why am I not getting any brake? Now a brain surgery?πŸ§ πŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ©ΊπŸ’Š

You mentioned “..spiritual aim, one has chosen..”. Could you please help me understand what does a spiritual aim mean? I read of works of the MotherΒ  and Sri Aurobindo, and I try to apply their teachings in my everyday life. Does that count as spiritual aim? Or am I following a spiritual life? Please clarify.🎯πŸͺ·πŸ•‰οΈπŸ›£οΈ

I am currently facing some conflict inside myself and wanted your guidance regarding the same. My mother and father live alone, we are 3 sisters (all of us live in the same city) but me being the elder one have always taken their every responsibility. Even after my marriage I have been taking the responsibility of both the houses equally and my in-laws are quite supportive too. Because my sisters won’t handle everything as I do so I feel if I had done this it would be better. But then it’s too much on my shoulders to handle. Should I be guilty? Because I am leaving it to others to do it and am doing anything wrong with my parents??

May 18, 2026

There is no question of guilt as all the children should look after the parents equally when they need them. However in reality very often
