Alok da, Mother has said never scold a child , now I never scolded my son now he is 11. Due to this two things have happened one he is on his adolescence and he just does not listen like if I tell him to pick up his clothes or put his shoes in its place from the living room now when I sternly tell, pick it up right now after 4-5 reminders then only the work is done and on the other side since he is not use to scolding at home if he faces a strict teacher or some bully in school he starts crying … so I know Ma can never be wrong but please advise in this situation 😥

The Mother was not against being firm to help the child form good habits and discipline. Scolding, especially with anger distorts a child’s consciousness. He

How to deal with the worries and fears about a possible future difficulty, that may or may not come? I think my psychosis is magnifying my worries many times. Sometimes, I am unable to divert my attention from these worries, dear Alok da. I am praying to the Divine, which comforts me sometimes, but not always. I want to remember the Divine most of the time, but with these worries, it feels as if I am living in a mental hell. I want to take Refuge in the Divine, and so, be free of all worries, but I think my psychosis is not allowing me to nestle much in the Divine’s arms. I want to talk and pray to the Divine, both by speaking and writing to Him, but I am unable to come out of these worries, which is making it difficult even to talk to the Divine. I try to reason out the worries by mental analysis, but that is not helping either, perhaps because of my psychosis, dear Alok da. I want to connect to the Divine most of the time, but these worries are very painful😕

Don’t keep thinking of the difficulties and the worries. They only increase by it. As to psychosis take whatever treatment you may have been advised

“At first was laid a strange anomalous base, A void, a cipher of some secret Whole, Where zero held infinity in its sum And All and Nothing were a single term” Is this the non being, the void or the shunya Buddhists talk about? If so then what is “being ” and how do being, non-being and becoming related to one another🤔?

September 3, 2025

Non-being simply implies that the Being and everything else is held back. It is not an absence but a state of infinite possibilities yet not

My question is… if we, as humans, go through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, then how does the journey 🛣️ begin? If we are the seeds of the creator, does he create new seeds as well? Or is it the same old soul that has been progressing since time immemorial? Your discourses ignite the mind with numerous questions. Please suggest some texts that are easy to understand to begin with.

The appearance of human beings marks the transition from the largely instinct driven animality tied to an upward looking partly self-conscious creature. The human form

I just wanted to ask this question. I know it’s a bit silly but I saw the movie Sabarmati express n it got me thinking as to why God allows such horrendous acts😱 on innocent people. I never understand it. I mean isn’t God supposed to protect us from these things. N these victims who die from these horrendous acts of rape, murder n victims of war, so what is their fault in all this ? How is it fair on them just because they were at a wrong place n wrong time. I can’t wrap my head around it. Why does so many horrible things have to happen??? I understand it might be due to some past mistakes that u have done in your past life but I feel nothing n nobody deserves to die in such a gruesome way no matter what u have done!!! Why is God allowing this?

September 3, 2025

Nobody deserves these things and these are certainly not some punishment meted out by a cruel God. But to understand these things one has to

Dear Alok Da,  I am taking this workshop, and I really need your feedback.  https://aurosociety.bmeurl.co/12CC1408.

The true physical, vital and mental can come with the psychic being as they have been integrated with the psychic being. But it is believed that the bad nature, bad actions, bad habits also travel to the next birth. These things are obviously not touched by the psychic being. These things take us away from the psychic being. So, obviously they are not integrated with the psychic. Then how can they travel to the next birth? It is said that both good and bad samskaras are carried to the next birth. Who carries those samskaras🤨?

September 2, 2025

But who has said that we carry on bad habits, bad nature to the future? In that case there will be no hope. Good and

In one of the Aphorisms, Sri Aurobindo has prophesied that a child shall destroy Europe. Today, we see that Europe’s ideals are slowly being destroyed by Wokeism and the deep state. Does this phenomenon have anything to do with the prophecy🤔?

Mother said that one of the aim of the yoga is to be a master of the forces of nature rather than being a mechanical slave of it. Sir, how can one master the forces of nature by doing yoga🤔?

What to do in a situation where the person accompanying you is constantly demeaning and insulting your culture (Regional, Indian and Sanatana Dharma) and your belief system, insulting the sanatana dharma. It is difficult to stay quiet, but yet you know that even my words can’t appeal to the person’s preconceived notion. yet you give it a try, but as anticipated, in vain. And within yourself you feel drained in that atmosphere of clashes of opinions😪

In the visible world they are the male and female powers and energies of the universe and it is this external aspect of them as gods of the Sun, Fire, Air, Waters, Earth, Ether, the conscious-forces ever present in material being which gives us the external or psycho-physical side of the Aryan worship. The antique view of the world as a psycho-physical and not merely a material reality is at the root of the ancient ideas about the efficacy of the mantra and the relation of the gods to the external life of man; hence the force of prayer, worship, sacrifice for material ends; hence the use of them for worldly life and in so-called magic rites which comes out prominently in the Atharva Veda and is behind much of the symbolism of the Brahmanas. But in man 🙍‍♂️himself the gods are conscious psychological powers [conti]

I am still not sure how to deal with my libido. As a young male, I occasionally experience extremely strong sexual desire. I am not in a relationship, I don’t masturbate or watch porn. I tried following some of your advice, such as exercise, breathing, creative expression, etc. It helped me enormously. But still there are times in which I just get completely submerged in lustful thoughts and overpowering desires. During such times I cannot sleep in the night and just crave sex intensely. When such states come, my mind starts telling me that I should just find somebody with whom I could have regular sex so that I don’t feel this agony😟, [conti]

August 30, 2025

What helps handling these strong sexual impulses is to stay as busy as one can be, especially with a work that can be done in

Alok da, why would an eye/cornea from healthy individual be not be good to donate to a blind disabled individual. This can give a new life to the blind person🤨
