Last night I had a dream in which I was enjoying myself with my friends; the girl I loved was also part of the gathering. But now the group which I saw there is mostly scattered and we don’t have the same intensity of friendship between us. Is this just a subconscient thing coming up? Or is there any significance behind this? ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively

I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and curiosities that have been on my mind. I have a few questions on sadhana that I would value your perspective on when time permits: first, the deeper spiritual reasoning behind focusing solely on one’s Guru rather than opening to other influences. ๐Ÿงญ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธโš–๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

These are very good observations and the questions that arise naturally to any seeker.

Fidelity to the Path is indeed expected of every disciple

Alok da, how much is the body linked to the development of the Will? Do those people in professions which involve a thorough exertion of their hands and limbs in tune with the head (like craftsmen, painters, musicians, dancers, military men, chefs, and even agricultural labourers) have a scope for much development of the Will over those who don’t and are much more in the head(like software engineers, bankers, and students who spend hours in front of dense books reading)? ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿชท[…]

Those who work with hands or eye or mouth (speech) or brain develop more consciousness in those organs. It is not just the external instruments

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, โ€œ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.โ€ Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. ๐ŸŒ‘โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility.

With the 150th birth anniversary of Sri MA approaching, we are planning an initiativeโ€”including a journey from Paris to Pondicherryโ€”to bring the vision of Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA before Europe and beyond. We would be deeply grateful for your guidance on how to present their thought in ways that truly resonate with the European mind. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

While your initiatives are deeply appreciable, I am not sure if the time to do so is right and more so, if Europe is ready

Dear Sir, how can silent inner pleading affect seemingly unconscious, assembled machines? Observing my new motorcycle, I intuitively sensed a living “spirit of the form”โ€”much like the traditional worship of toolsโ€”making me wonder if software, numbers, and subtle energies also hold a responsive consciousness.๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿ“–โœจ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

This has been my experience too, especially with things that I regularly use such as the Scooter, watches etc. Material objects too carry consciousness within

Dear Sir, with humility and sincerity, I wish to place a few developing inner observations before you for your illuminating guidance. I find spontaneous physical intuitions of gratitude and Sri MA’s grace taking hold directly in the body before meals, while before sleep, a deep inner surge naturally crystallizes into “Sri MA”โ€”which has become my living mantra, concentrated with all my aspiration and surrender. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

All these experiences clearly point out that your psychic being has already emerged into the play. All these are conscious experiences of the psychic being.

Reflecting on your guidance, I wonder if the sudden dismantling of my former life is Divine Grace clearing space for what my soul truly longs for. Amidst these sweeping losses, an inner pull toward a life centered on Sri Aurobindo, Sri MA, simplicity, and dedicated spiritual practice has only deepened. ๐Ÿก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Such radical shifts in life are a kind of rebirth, a spiritual rebirth that changes all the past co-ordinates shifting us out of every comfort

I looked up into the sky to see a luminous, oval-shaped halo glowing above, before witnessing Krishna and Shiva descend in intense white and yellow light near an old forest temple. When someone insisted I should marry a messenger associated with the vision, I firmly refused, choosing instead to receive a subtle healing touch on my fingertips.๐Ÿชˆ๐Ÿ”ฑโœจ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Krishna and Shiva are two aspects of One Divine Truth. One opens the path through the world, other by renouncing the world.
