I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects. I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒΈπŸŒ[…]

I believed earlier that all of the manifested Universe is a part of the Apara Prakriti. But the Mother says that nature is infra-rational? But then I wonder whether reason is an instrument of Para Prakriti? Isn’t it too imperfect? What is the joining link of Nature with the Mother? πŸŒŒπŸ€”β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸͺ·

Para and Apara Prakriti are simply two different modes of working of One Consciousness-Force. In its origin it is the Conscious Power of the Divine,

In a Dream, I saw 4–5 camels standing in a row in front of me and some more camels were coming from the desert. I could see sand and the desert on one side and a residential area on the other, where I was standing on the terrace of a house, trying to take their photo.

The camels represent slow, patient progress demanding a lot of perseverance. That phase seems to coming to a close and is being replaced by a

Dada, Sri Aurobindo, or The Mother once stated somewhere that it was their very own consciousness that was present in Michelangelo. Upon hearing this, someone remarked that since Michelangelo was a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci, how could Sri Aurobindo be present in two different individuals simultaneously? πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸŽ¨β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯🎨🌸[…]

These are speculations based on certain statements neither confirmed nor denied by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. The Mother did speak of the painting of

Dear Da, I’m a single child. I always have this question: why don’t I have a sibling with whom I can share things? Also, my parents have a greater realisation of the Divine, so whenever I try something out of spirituality or try to get mixed with society, they get to know things from within and always doubt my intentions and try to keep me under their influence. πŸ˜’πŸŒΈπŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸƒ[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯
