Yesterday, I was listening to an excerpt of your talk on how the Divine Grace arranges things on a macro level, taking every individual(probably the ones open to the Grace) into consideration. However, could you please explain the effect of Vital or Mental formations on the working of the Grace on those individuals? πŸ™‚πŸ™πŸ»πŸ¦‹πŸƒ

The mental and vital formations can support or resist the action of the Grace. They do have a role to play. For example if someone

I was listening to your recent conversation on Social Media. While discussing about body positivity, you’ve so aptly brought out the counterfactual of what if the female lead with whom the male protagonist is romanticizing happened to be ‘visually not fair and pretty’- which actually has been what I too used to think. πŸ«‚β€οΈβœ¨πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨[…]

Yes love, like most things in our life is fed by certain stereotypes and social constructs. Hence it suffers deformation and distortion like everything else.

Pranam Alokda. Till the time one realises their Psychic Being and start to live a ‘truly spiritual’ life, as the Mother states, and can truly start to live the ideal of a ‘Divine Worker’ as stated in the Essays on the Gita, what’s the best and most practical everyday psychological attitude that can be consistently adopted in aspiration for an ideal state like that of a Divine worker where one directly receives command from the Divine and carries it out in the true spirit of Gita. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ»β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸŒ„

It is difficult to receive direct command from the Divine until one has made a living contact with the psychic being. What one can however

I don’t know how, but in my mind, I am stuck on the fact that the growth of the Soul will invite newer challenges, and I really don’t have the strength to go through any challenges at the moment. Is seeking happiness the same as wanting the pain to stop? I’m not sure that I can tell the difference. 😣πŸ₯€β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸƒ

Challenges are bound to come in life. It is part of the evolutionary programming. The soul helps us to navigate through these challenges with much

If a person is elevating their consciousness and developing themselves into a new consciousness, what about those who have already attained Liberation (Mukti) and have become one with the Supreme Being? According to Sri Aurobindo’s yoga, what is their status? Will they also take on the new consciousness?βœ¨πŸ§˜πŸ•ŠοΈπŸŒ…

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.πŸŒ§οΈπŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ’ŠπŸ« 

This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing

Yesterday I had a dream in which I was in a three-wheeler autorickshaw as the only passenger. There was no driver, and the vehicle was uncontrollably moving down a hill on an earthen road. I was barely able to control it. The road had helical curves, and at the endβ€”if I remember correctlyβ€”it either crashed or overturned, and the dream ended.πŸ’­πŸŒœπŸ˜΄πŸ’€[…]

Yes it is clearly a dislocation. Possibly the mind was not in control of body and the vital force that fuels it and the consciousness
