AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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.🧘‍♂️🏔️✨⚓👁️

First and foremost be clear in your thought and aspiration about what you want. You want to know about the real nature of the world

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

My question is why amongst the all methods only this most simple imagination that you have suggested worked? Sir, I listened to one of your talk on getting rid of lower movements, I have been facing the same problem in a big way, amongst the all is the sexual lust, it the single most and the worst and hardest thing to get rid of, just like a man sweeps his room and all the corner but the dust and pollution is in the environment, so I also dealing with it by different methods but these methods were not working properly with me,..🌪️ 🌊🕷️ 🕸️🌋

It is always the Grace that works when the time comes and it can use any means and methods, including the most seemingly paradoxical for

As far as prarabdha karma is concerned, does man have to suffer it? Does all accumulated karma get destroyed through sadhna? Please explain this further. I have heard from Yogis that accumulated karma is stored in our Gyanmaya Kosha, Sushumna Nadi and Sapta Chakra, therefore, piercing Brahma Granthi, Vishnu Granthi and Rudra Granthi, Kundalini Shakti consumes all accumulated karma in its journey from Mooladhara to Sahasrar Chakra through Sushumna. Therefore, first of all, it is said to get free from accumulated karma through sadhna. Only then will the vision be truly pure and the seeker will progress on the spiritual path in the true sense.📜⏳🌾🛤️

What yogis and others say is their business. It is a matter of faith in their words and the height and depth of their experience.

Over the past decade I have faced far too many personal & professional failures. Nothing I seek is seeking me, in fact its getting repelled from me the moment I start working towards it. I’m loosing my faith in the world, I see myself alienating from almost everyone. I’m a well meaning, truthful and soul curious person. What’s happening to me? Is this a sign for me to leave the material world?📉🤦‍♂️🔄❌✍️

It is the moment to reckon the truth that you are perhaps not marked for the things that you are seeking in ignorance. It is
