 I am completely unemployed and when I am trying to study sincerely, I can’t do it. And I am depressed looking back on those 4 years which I have wested mindlessly doing nothing. Also, as I made no progress and wasted my time and energy in everything except study, now I became mentally and physically very weak. As I was always inclined to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo and quite involved in our branch’s activity, I don’t know how it has happened with me. Though I know that I am the only one responsible for this situation.💼❌🌧️🪫😮‍💨

The solution is actually very simple. Analysing why it happened, lamenting about the wasted time, looking back surely won’t help. If anything it will only

One day I felt that I do not know anything about this world, so I try to know it logically and try to experience the witness feeling, then some days I get yoga and some days I am separated from it, sometimes I get so immersed in meditation that the balance of my body is disturbed and my attention is diverted from my body and I get afraid. I am not able to keep my body and mind completely still, so what is the solution, please tell me.🧘‍♂️🏔️✨⚓👁️

I am listener of your Youtube podcasts, which have been my entry point into Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s teachings. During my regular weekend drive from Bangalore to my in-laws’ home, I usually connect my phone through bluetooth and play your latest Video and leave the phone in the dashboard. I am completely alone during the drives and  allow myself to immerse in your talks till I reach the destination, which is usually within 1.5hrs and I do the same while returning back home as well.👑 ♾️ ✨

It is a well known response that sometimes occurs to the ego-self when it suddenly comes in contact with the Divine Reality. It panics with

Respected Sir, Reference is CWSA Volume 28 Page 499, subject “Krishna as an Avatar” Answer No.3. Question – If Krishna was an overmind “God”, that means he was not an incarnation, not the Divine, but somebody else who claimed to be the Divine -i.e. he was a god who somehow thought he was God. Not understood, what Sri Aurobindo wants to say about Krishna?🪈🦚💙🛞

There is a gentle sarcasm in it. The disciple has asked a question

“Why is it said that Krishna is an Overmind God?’

Sir how do we get clarity and guidance from the mother for our worries and depression. What is that step by step method of proper prayer to her? Also how to get rid of fear and worries related to career and financial aspect of life? Will the mother take care of us if we devote to her. I have actually almost run out of all my savings in learning different types of meditation techniques, yagya participation and books of various spiritual organisation across India. But still I have not got any proper clarity as to which is that one path or guru whom should I follow. And I still fear as to where my spiritual journey is heading..🌧️🌀🧠🪫😰

Spiritual journey is not undertaken to cure depression, anxiety or getting material success or for that matter anything of the worldly nature. One can pray

The karma of destiny and the store of accumulated karma. It will take indefinite time to settle it. The sanskars of karma, the pattern of old habits are an obstacle and hindrance in our progress. Intellectually we can understand the scriptures, religion, spirituality, but due to the greater influence of rajas and tamas, I go back to the old pattern. What are the views of Shri Aurobindo, Shri Mataji on accumulated karma? Can we be completely free from accumulated karma in this very birth?🔄🌱🌾🛞

Yes this is what is said in some scriptures. The Sanchit karma are the accumulated energy of our past actions. They are the imprints stored
