I just have a little question about harmony as today is Lakshmi Puja. How does one maintain harmony in the family effectively? When there are fights, I try to stay calm as long as I can and negotiate. However when it becomes unbearable, I give up and get angry. Sometimes when I make mistakes, I quickly apologize and try to correct it in order to maintain peace but it never seems to work well. My family keeps talking about my faults again and again even after I apologize. I am trying from my side but when the other person won’t co-operate, I don’t know what to do. I honestly feel like a failure. I have prayed to the Mother but is there anything else I can do from my side😥?

Harmony is very difficult to achieve in human relationship because each of the ego operating system. Hence each believes himself to be right and his

Reading the Life Divine, I kind of have these visions of galaxies colliding, never heard of musical strings playing at infinite speed which somehow emit fire, feelings of levitation and Mental space widening etc..Did Sri Aurobindo infuse his words to have such an effect or is it my own hallucination cos it stirs something in me? Even reading bande mataram , I can feel like he’s the infusing his writing with some sort of tantrik electric currents which are gonna penetrate the reader’s subconscious depths and bring a resolve in him to fight for freedom. Did Sri Aurobindo had a conscious intention to do this with His writing or is it my own imagination🤨?

It is not about conscious intention alone. Our consciousness flows in our acts and our writings inevitably carry outside to the world, something of the

Why is it that people who were once so deeply connected can become complete strangers almost overnight, as if all the shared moments meant nothing? How can they move on so quickly and find someone new, while blaming you for the breakup, claiming that your actions or words pushed them away? They justify their cold behaviour by saying that making you suffer will somehow make you stronger. But how can they not see the emotional chaos they leave behind—the emptiness, the loneliness, the struggle with rejection and abandonment? Is it fair to rationalize their actions as a way of helping you grow, while completely ignoring the hurt they’ve caused? [Conti]

It is because the relationship was largely in the vital physical domains, or on the surface emotions where things don’t stay for long. It means

My question was regarding dealing with colleagues at workplace especially when there are small talks are going on regarding very trivial matters. What should be our approach towards that! If we don’t get indulged in that discussion they treat us as outcasts!! So I was asking how to deal with everybody consciously with a right attitude at workplace which I suppose one of the most challenging aspects of professional life😯?

In the work place, it is best to remain professional and focused on the work. As to people, our interactions with them should be pleasant

I feel deeply disappointed in my relationship because my partner is very cold when it comes to expressing his feelings. He shows no excitement in life and rarely appreciates me. We never talk about our relationship, which leaves me feeling disconnected and alone. Often, he comes up with excuses for everything. Sometimes, he puts in effort and does a lot, but other times, he does nothing at all. We are married and live together, but it feels like I am the only one who expresses emotions and goes the extra mile to make things work. I constantly find myself questioning where we stand because we never openly discuss our emotions or the state of our relationship. I even suggested going to a counselor to help us communicate better, but he dismissed the idea, saying, “I’m not mad.” It’s exhausting to be the only one constantly trying while he remains emotionally distant and unresponsive😥.

Most relationship generally tend to become so. After the initial vital flush that attracts and draws people together is over. The usual mechanical round of
