How are the Auroville residents doing nowadays? I wish there were more videos about Auroville, since the place needs to continue in a good way despite Indian state intervention. Could you explain in what way Auroville keeps being the real Auroville, or whether this huge project has been let down in some way?๐ŸŸก๐Ÿคโœจ๐ŸŒ

Dada, Thank you for giving your knowledge so generously, after being around Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s wisdom I feel guilty to ask and though I try to filter a lot of questions before asking but this one has been bothering for more than 2 years now. Dada I feel a sense of intense restlessness, while externally all seems fine, I don’t know when was the last time I really laughed.

Dada, I am nervous and restless but I dont know why am I feeling this way before I even get to the solution part. I cannot question my job and people around when its inside, how do I get rid of it.

How can I develop genuine humility instead of forced politeness? How can I stop absorbing othersโ€™ emotional states so intensely? How can I begin to see the other person also as a child of The Mother, especially when I have to continuously work under them and old reactions get triggered repeatedly? And how does one change these inner feelings sincerely rather than only controlling outer behaviour?๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ฎ

In any group it is important to know the reason or purpose about why one is joining the group. If it is simply with the

In YouTube I saw a video where tarot card reading was mentioned, out of curiosity I opened it, selected a pile intuitively and to my surprise few things that were told their were quite accurate. Firstly What exactly is tarot card reading and what purpose it serves, Is it a superstition? Did The Mother & Sri Aurobindo commented on this?๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ™

The Mother has not mentioned anything directly about the Tarot card. But if we take the essence of Her writings in these matters it would
