How to be totally surrender towards the mother? How can we surrender our mind, vital, lower part, physical and it’s difficulties to the mother? Recently i read Sri Aurobindo’s letter where the letter essence is if your surrender is not complete then you will not escape these difficulties. Spontaneously egoistic thought, feeling, lust coming and it is feeling suffocating or pain in lower part. How to be surrender our lower part which is going their own way? What is the right way to deal this stages🤨?

Surrender does not mean lack of effort. That would be tamasic surrender and will not bring any result. It means now my life is meant

Had a dream today where I fell in love in love with a person I have never thought about much before. And that person fell in love with me in the dream. The whole thing sounds ridiculous, but I woke up feeling like it was the best dream I had in a very long time, leaving me almost disappointed that it wasn’t real, at the same tome leaving a trace of gratitude for having experienced such deep feelings of happiness inside the dream. How can such a thing happen in the dream when clearly there is no strong external connection, attraction, or contact with the person in real life?

It is a subtle contact that you had with the person and at that moment the deeper truth had a chance to express itself. Often

I had a question, who is “he” being referred to in this article ? Is “he” the supreme divine masculine? and that way “she” the supreme divine feminine? (mother)I ask this as I’ve usually seen divine addressed as mother in prayers and writings. It’s the first time I’ve seen divine addressed as male🤔.

The ‘He’ who is being refered to in the poem ‘Who’ is Krishna, the immanent Divine who drives creation towards its eventual divine consummation, the

Recently my son had an incident of being bullied in class so then I realised that he needs to be taught to have courage and started sharing him stories and kept on talking with him, so last night I read to him para where Sri Aurobindo shares about Aryan fighter and he loved it, so many share with me some more lines from Sri Aurobindo’s works or Savitri which I can read to him each night before sleeping😴 

Stories are the best medium to inspire children, especially stories of the Ramayana, especially Hanuman. Savitri acts to build the inner consciousness much more than

Sir, you said in the initial part of video something like there are people who can’t keep up with pace of life and all throughout this video, I saw you blaming the depressed 😔person himself for his condition. Is it not the society’s fault for the fast pace? Do we need this pace? Do we not need to slow down? And also isn’t depression a crisis for evolution? I suffer from depression since a long time. I am always fatigued. But I am a fighter. But the pace is something I can’t handle. Also judgement of society? Why must society judge one on their standards? Isn’t society toxic in a lot of ways? I see depression as an evolutionary crisis. Could you share your thoughts on this?

I am not sure which video gave you this impression that one gets depressed because one is unable to keep pace with the Society! On

Yesterday one of my classmates said to me, Why don’t you wear shoes👟?( as I feel more comfortable in chappals), ‘ban than ke raha kar’ .Why do we have to be presentable? and to whom? to those who don’t even know what their own opinions are as it changes from morning to noon a hundred times, to those  who are wearing half torn jeans and pants? For me, decent clothes are clean, and those which are enough to cover my body. Chappals are very comfortable. Aren’t they?

In complete agreement with you. Some wear their identity upon their dress, others carry it in their high climbing thoughts and the aspiration of their

Sri Aurobindo speaks of our imperfection toiling towards perfection, of our body as a chrysalis of the soul. But if our body is the vessel for this transformation, why do we often neglect it? I find myself pushing beyond my limits, exhausting my body until it forces me to stop. If our journey is one of growth and awakening, shouldn’t caring for our body be just as important as nurturing our mind and spirit? How do I learn to honor this balance? How do I work on truly respecting my body as part of this larger process of becoming🤔?

The body needs to be taken care of but always the soul comes first. Pushing beyond limits does take a toll upon the bodily life
