I feel suffocated😖 in crowded places, especially when there’s loud music and constant chatter. I find it hard to speak up in those situations, and organizing or participating in events isn’t really my strength. People often assume I’m dumb because I stay quiet. Is this a bad quality? I prefer spending my time reading books of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, listening to your talks, and talking to people who are connected to Maa. I’m unsure how to handle this because I work in an IT company, and this environment feels out of sync with who I am.

When you get a chance, can you please elaborate😳 on the below lines further. Thank you Alok da, “….The power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a tempter on the path of the work, and there is always a risk of falling into its trap, for it gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in our first eagerness to do the work well, we let ourselves be carried away to make use of this power. But very soon it deflects all our action from the right course and introduces a seed of illusion and death into what we do.”

The Vital enjoys action for the sake of action. Its impetus is desire of one kind of the other. Though it starts with much apparent

Alok da why watching cricket have to be counted in screen time?, if a highlight of cricket comes nobody has any problem but when I see some local match highlights or a Video teaching me cricket why does everybody have problem when I can learn keeping or balling? Also nobody has problem when I am learning math or questions like why is Pluto not a planet where I am learning equal as cricket videos also these days I don’t see the screen and play cricket they tell me to sit and do something, I do craft but then I get bored as I am not crafty so I see the screen and I am not a reader as I get a headache so what should I do😡?

Unfortunately the eyes don’t recognise the difference between cricket or a mathematical table as far as the light entering is concerned. It registers pixels, brightness,

(1) What is the limit to tolerance, titiksha, when it comes to adjusting with others? Some seem to take advantage of one’s tolerance and kindness. When do we know that tolerance has reached its limit? Understanding the idea of tolerance rightly is of a great help both in practical and spiritual life. (2) Does a realised being have any limits for tolerance or do they suffer😒 and endure limitlessly for the greater good of the world?

(1) Titiksha is about the ability to bear the outer shocks of life. It increases the power of forebearance, to bear things, to endure, sahanshakti.

Its a philosophical question but I often why did the creator create this world? Why did the creator become inconscient, became nature and now following the path of evolving towards itself? Is it for release of Ananda? As a life experience, we feel joyous when we progress. Similarly when the inconscient is growing towards becoming fully conscious, Ananda is released. Is that so?

These are different ways of saying the same thing. By entering a state of complete oblivion and then releasing it gradually through a complex evolutionary

Some intrusive sexual thoughts arise and it is not pleasant. I don’t want them and it’s ugly. But is it a good approach to try and tackle these thoughts premature to having a stable foundation of bringing down peace, silencing the mind and all these other foundations ? These intrusive thoughts are distressing & bothering me a lot 😖

A premature effort to completely master the sexual impulse at a rather young age often leads to an unnecessarily frustrating struggle and conflict. Besides the

I have never really had any doubts earlier, so I am very shocked at myself. I grew up with a very strong christian education at school and all that was fed into me was christian ideology of God and heaven and hell from early teenage years. This never really hindered my journey with Mother and Sri aurobindo and I found christian ideas quite a crude way of seeing God. But now suddenly I am having doubts about them which a part of me knows is stupid but another part of me clings onto this doubt and fear. Its like a constant voice in the background saying the real God is the christian God and is bringing fear of hell. I feel really guilty because its come to the point of doubting them whom I love the most. When I try to get rid of the doubt by reasoning or surrender with it it just goes back to the christian idea that God is the only real God and anything else that says its God is false and is trying to take you away from the truth and you will be sent to hell if you don’t follow the correct God. No sort of reasoning can make it go away and surrender of it is difficult because its affecting my faith. What should I do😪?

My father recently departed due to cancer last year. He has faced many problems and difficulties in his life but still he overcame many challenges due to his own positive attitude. We all couldn’t do much for him while he gave us everything to us. I deeply regret that as a child. What can I do for a departed soul , who was my father in this life. Can anything be done for the soul who has suffered so much pain and left other than religious things. I always ponder how his next life will be or is he in good place? Is there any way to know that his soul has not taken a life form again and Dissolved in the divine. A general question too, how is a soul journey decided?🤔 What karmas lead the soul to complete its path and never be born again and get absorbed in the divine?
