In reality how to have her guidance if we have no clue about life in general if we are poor at decision making?🌱🌳🍂☀️🌊

Nobody has any clue about life though almost everybody believes that they know about it. If you are sincere and ready to obey the Divine

I do understand what you said about the surgery. But my confusion is still there. I know both Sri Aurobindo and The Mother were against surgery. They were both working on their own bodies. Even in last days Sri Aurobindo registered medicine. Were they against surgery on themselves or for every one?🤒💊🛌🏥🩺

May 22, 2026

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo generally adviced against surgery to all their disciples. Of course there were those who went ahead with it due to

I don’t understand anything. On one hand, I’m meditating on Gurudev and the Mother, and on the other, I’m receiving your help. And I’m ignorant, I can’t understand what’s going on? And in the yoga of transformation, along with the Mother’s power, do practitioners who have reached a very advanced state in yoga also help and how are they helped?⚡🪷🐛➡️🦋

It is only the Divine who helps. But He can use anything, any person, any form to reach out to the seeker. Of course if

In a dream, I saw that there was a big container from which a voice was coming. The voice was telling me something, but now I don’t remember what they were saying. I tried to go inside that container, but someone said – “He will not be seen, he is God.”🌒💭💤😴

Big Railway Container suggests guidance received for the journey. It is possibly referring to askalokda website.

What are your thoughts on the Maa kamakhya temple and it’s tantric practice and bali pratha…Does any devi want bali to be offered? How does one save from black magic on himself and family?🔮🖤🧿🎭

May 22, 2026

Bali pratha (Animal sacrifice) has lost its meaning and purpose now. It is a crude form of worship for those who worship the Devi with

Can The Superman too say the same statement, once He starts manifesting on Earth? ☀️🧍✨👑

May 22, 2026

This phrase is only for the Avatars and cannot apply to any evolutionary being. Besides the Superman will not be born nor assume the lower

A few days ago I was listening to one of your recent talks on Auromaa. There you mentioned that according to The Mother, darkness and suffering were the results of an accident. I have a few questions on this. How and why did this accident take place? Who is the practical joker whom Mother had mentioned? What was the role of the psychic beings and why did they consent to go through this suffering?⛓️🥀😮‍💨🩹

May 22, 2026

Yes this is mentioned in one of Her talks of 1957. Let me first give the full passage.

On one hand, there is crisis in life due to karma. If one receives Divine Grace, all karma can be annulled. On the other hand, it is said that every crisis in life is due to an evolutionary pressure, which provides an opportunity to evolve. Which of these is correct?🔄🛞🌱➡️🌾

May 22, 2026

Karma itself is an evolutionary mechanism and not a system of reward and punishment. Crisis is always essentially an inner event. It may or may

Sri Aurobindo says “God, the world guru, is wiser than thy mind; trust Him and not that eternal self-seeker and arrogant sceptic”. Here Sri Aurobindo is referring to mind as eternal self-seeker and arrogant Sceptic? Alok da please explain.🤝❤️⚓✨

May 22, 2026

Yes, the mind believes that it can know but if we look closely, all our efforts to understand are based on false premises and a’priori

The yoga that is practiced with name and form at the centre, is it the Divine bliss, Divine peace, Divine light that is beyond name and form, can only that be called Divine presence?🪷☀️✨🎆

Divine Presence is the Source of all Peace, Bliss, Light, Love and something even more. To find the Divine Presence is to automatically find all

How do you encourage the vital and physical being to surrender and call for the higher life?

May 22, 2026

The first step is to tame them by bringing these two fellows under the control of the discerning intellect. It is what the Mother calls

I find that I have a strained or tense and cautious attitude towards The Mother, as if it is a fragile relation which I could ‘mess up’ due to the impurities in me. I think I know that if I were to love Her truly one day, then I would not be cautious or reserved, I’d trust entirely and wouldn’t want to spare even a thought or a feeling for myself. I aspire to that, but I’m so very far away from it. I feel it would be helpful to start with an honest, real and open attitude and take small steps with Her towards a loving unity eventually…👐🤍🙏🌸

Beautiful state. Pray to the Mother and open to Her more and more. The more you open the more everything will come and develop. Do

What does Mother mean when she says that Nature plays mischief with us? Why does she cause so much obstruction through desires and impulsions, even when we sincerely seek the Divine? Isn’t she supposed to help us to develop quicker?🧠❤️🎭🌱

May 22, 2026

Sri Aurobindo explains (it is there in the Vedas as well as the Gita) that there is a double nature, – lower and higher. The

Two questions today, two years ago I had a back surgery, which went wrong. I remember even when they gave me anesthesia I was taking Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s name, and had left everything to them. Now again they are talking about another surgery, saying that I have a cyst that has to come out and fuse L2 to L4. L5 S1 is already fused about 11 years ago. this will be 3 to 4 hour surgery. I think I am having some faith problem…💉💊🩺🕯️🙏

May 22, 2026

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were never in favour of surgery. So we can’t be doing something that they themselves have advised against and then

Do you know of any entry by Sri Aurobindo in his diary in which he records his first meeting with The Mother or of his recognition of Her as the Divine Mother like there is by The Mother in her diary on 30 Mar 1914?🧘🪷🤍♾️

May 22, 2026

No. There is no such record. It is only in a conversation with Barin da who asked him what did Sri Aurobindo see in the
