I had a bad thought that someone, my favourite person very close to me is dying😭, please help why this thought?

How to teach children courage🤸‍♀️?

I feel empty without the Divine’s presence. How can I hold on to it 24×7? I am putting too much effort but still it is difficult😪.

September 23, 2024

When we try to put excessive effort it often veils the Presence. In fact all impatience, eagerness or restlessness, even if it be comes in

Aren’t the conditions like inertia, inspiration also because of God. Why do we have to face helpless situations? Why does God make us suffer? What is God’s purpose behind this😳?

September 23, 2024

Learning to discipline oneself is a very important requirement for future success. By doing one’s assignments in time one gets into a very good habit.

I am unable to find any other refuge .. but can I depend entirely on the Divine, handing Him all my problems and worries .. holding on to Him and Him Alone .. taking refuge in Him Alone? and then taking all events in my life as His prasad, as gifts🎁 of His Grace .. ?

September 22, 2024

It doesn’t mean that one does not put the efforts needed to face the situation and come out of the inner and outer difficulties. It

I feed birds🐦 almost every day in our backyard. I have bird seed and I also feed the stale bread, or roti. Lot of birds come and it is fun to watch them from the window. Lately I have noticed 3 crows coming and making lot of noise. I have put out some rice couple of times. I am not sure if they come to eat rice or they are coming for some other reason. I know thee is some importance in our culture attached to crows. Could you guide?

September 22, 2024

The crow symbolises practical intelligence. As birds they are very intelligent and sometimes can sometimes they get attached to human beings. They are also quite

When I am alone I am able to think of Mother and Sri Aurobindo and keep my mind quiet, but when I talk to friends I can feel myself getting externalised. how can I keep thinking of Mother and Sri Aurobindo whilst talking to people? Also why do I get exhausted and get headaches 😩from just a little bit of talking to my friends?

The spiritual life, in the beginning, is like a small plant in the nursery that needs to be guarded and nurtured with special care. That

We have a very strict sir, he scolds us at no reason, he once took my iPad, because it started with a notification😡. When we ask him a very logical question he shouts back at us saying why don’t you understand anything. And when we don’t ask a question he says why are you not involved in the class. In the exam he has given us a topic which he did not teach in class and it was hard. In the mock paper he should have given 35 mins but gave only 15 mins . He also had to check the pt papers within a week but gave in 2 weeks and 1 day. He also scolded us for not doing the homework but that only 4 people did not do out of 24 so why are the rest have to be scolded. What should we do?

September 21, 2024

You should learn from him how one should not behave as a grown up. And since you cannot change the teacher use it as an

Some friends always expect you to be available for them, but when you need them, they are nowhere to be found. They dump their problems on you without even asking about yours. Conversations with them revolve entirely around their lives, and if you try to share something, they cut you off and steer the talk back to themselves. They take you for granted, disappearing for long periods only to show up out of the blue, expecting you to act as if everything is fine. One day, they’re full of affection, and the next, they act like you don’t exist. How to deal with such people🙄? Are they even worth calling friends?

September 21, 2024

True friends are indeed very rare like the pearl inside a shell. The sign of a true friend is that he or she loves you

Many times I feel closeness with Sri Aurobindo naturally easier than with The Mother. Also I feel like putting my prayers to Him, remember Him, lovingly. Will Sri Aurobindo not like this? Because here Sri Aurobindo insisted to come through The Mother only? So He will not sanction my prayer directly given to Him? You have mentioned in your talks, he told his disciples to obey, love The Mother mainly, He didn’t like them coming to Him crossing Her. Asking this because I remember Sri Aurobindo 😇very much and ask Him for help.

September 21, 2024

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are far above likes and dislikes. Their words come from a source, the Source, if we like, that is way

In certain people, especially in conditions labelled as ADHD or Tourette’s, there are frequent actions, impulsive words, random outbreaks of excitement and hyperactivity. In some cases, it visibly appears as if the person has no control, and it is like a pressure cooker which just has to burst. They themselves are shocked at the words which they spoke, actions etc. Why does this happen? To me, it seems like overactivity and uncontrolled vital impulse. But science accredits to involuntary and ‘uncontrollable’ movements and treats with medication. How do these two concepts collide, and how does one control it 😞?

September 20, 2024

Autism, ADHD, Tourette’s syndrome are labels that highlight our ignorance by defining them. The cause of these rather modern diseases is not clearly known. It
