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?โœจ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

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.๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿซ 

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 endโ€”if I remember correctlyโ€”it either crashed or overturned, and the dream ended.๐Ÿ’ญ๐ŸŒœ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค[…]

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

Please help understand below (from chapter ‘Equality’, page 191-192) in the right context:” Our secret soul takes a pleasure in this strife and effort, and even a pleasure in adversity and suffering, which can be complete enough in memory and retrospect, but is present too behind at the time and often even rises to the surface of the afflicted mind to support it in its passion; but what really attracts the soul is the whole mingled weft of the thing we call life with all its disturbance of struggle and seeking, its attractions and repulsions, its offer and its menace, its varieties of every kind.”๐Ÿ—๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ”’โค๏ธ

Yes the secret soul is the psychic being.

The pleasure in adversity is not necessarily only for the opportunity of progress it provides but

Recently there has been a controversy over a comment made by two well known priests on girls, in which the girls are again replying to them and if we leave aside the girls, then everyone else is saying the right thing about these things said by the saints. If we look at all this with a new consciousness, then how should we look at it?๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ“ข

Leaving aside the merits of the saints whom I do not have any personal contact with but just coming to the issue, there are three

Life feels very hard Alok da. I often feel that nothing has amounted. much in any aspect of my life. Though I keep trying, disappointments. are almost the routine. As you can imagine, I am feeling exhausted. with all that pushing, all the series of frustrations. I don’t expect. life to be smooth, but it feels incredibly bumpy (something that I am reminded of also when I see most of the people around me, such as my peers, my relatives, my colleagues, my friends)โ›ˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿงฑ๐Ÿชซ

I recently completed this beautiful book – Champaklal Speaks. I have a few questions that came to my mind. 1- The book felt like aspiration and utmost bhakti in bold letters. How is one so consistent with an aspiration. If an aspiration is not consistent, does that mean it wasn’t an aspiration in the first place?๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโž”๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโœจโ˜€๏ธ

Disciples like Champaklal have lives behind them. Such a special Grace doesn’t come without that.

It takes time for aspiration to become steady and consistent.

When I read Sri Aurobindo and Sri Ma for the first time, I felt a sense of aha inside me that how good it is to be a human and to be on this earth and I felt a sense of freedom that God should be like this because before reading Sri Aurobindo I was afraid of God, even devotion was a fear and today after reading this again I have the same feeling. May our beautiful earth of God become divine.๐Ÿ“˜๐Ÿชทโœจโœ๏ธ

Very beautiful Grace. This bhaav and this aspiration both come from the psychic being and connects you straight to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

I made a mistake in my life, and by the time I realised that I shouldnt have done that though i knew that somewhere i am not being loyal to the person i am with and i was fully drawn into my desires โ€ฆat one fine day everything got burnt . I couldnโ€™t save anything, so I moved forward slowly, resting in Motherโ€™s lap and offering everything I had done to everyone and myself. After two years, I made another mistakeโ€ฆ and today I am feeling deep fear. While offering things to Mother, I keep thinking how could I make the same kind of mistake again? ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธโž”๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธโž”๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
