AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I faced a question & remained silent because I couldn’t answer. My sister-in-law (elder brother’s wife) while taking dinner she told me a ghost once occupied her by force in the night. I told her where ever mother’s photograph is there, there is no chance to enter any (ghost) bhut, pret, pisach to the house. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™[…]

There are lot of false assumptions here.

An outwardly healthy person can surely have low Hemoglobin. There are plenty of patients like that. Low hemoglobin

Thank you, Alok-da; small childhood habits like bowing to a dropped pen now clearly feel like quiet groundwork for this realization. It is refreshing to know the Mother embraced makeup, breaking away from the rigid ascetic ideal and reflecting the adorned, joyous divinity of Sri Krishna and Vishnu over mere renunciation. ๐ŸŒธโœจโš–๏ธ๐Ÿ™[…]

I often receive beauty products unasked, and rather than viewing them through guilt or desire, I simply accept them as Her grace and offer them

Bhaiya, how did you deal with the whole Rakhi thing when your sister used to send you rakhis? I find this whole thing to be more of a formality: sending the rakhi, then repeatedly asking if Iโ€™ve tied it or not, asking for photos, etc. I donโ€™t really feel connected to doing it just for the sake of it. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘ซ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™[…]

As an adolescent I would react against all these customs and traditions, not because they are wrong but because, they are not needed to express

I enjoy your reading of Savitri. But what happens is you abruptly stop in between and go for an explanation, which breaks my concentration on Savitri. The flow shouldn’t be interrupted when focused on Savitri.ย Even if one doesn’t understand the meaning,ย the words, their rhythm, itself isย very powerful, very melodious to the ears. Would you record it for us? ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ“–โœจ๐Ÿ™[…]

I fully understand what you say. They have to be two different recordings. Often half a phrase reveals its deeper sense. Sometimes a word is

Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? ๐ŸŒŒโš”๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ™[…]

The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings.

I am 41, unmarried, and dealing with schizophrenia, but I struggle deeply with an ongoing habit of watching lesbian pornography for brief moments once or twice a week. Fully aware that this lower impulse contradicts the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I fear falling into an asuric nature like Virochana or Shankhachuda. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™[…]

I understand your difficulty which grips many persons. It takes time but with a persistent will and faith, especially opening yourself to the Mother’s Grace

I am having a question about the spiritual significance of Sadesathi, the seven-and-a-half-year period which is particularly challenging for a person. How will it affect someone engaged in the Integral Yoga? As in this Yoga, the Mother is the supreme power greater than the planets and she can completely change the course of destiny. Will she use this period like, “Hell a shortcut for Heaven’s gate.” ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™

The sadhesaati (the 7 year 6 month period of Shani or Saturn) is not necessarily an evil thing. It is a period of trial, –

I had a vivid dream where a violent attack forced me out of a vehicle, prompting me to guide a vulnerable boy across undulating plains toward a winding hilltop. As I ascended past oblivious dogs, the boy vanished, replaced by the inner vision of a divine, familiar young girl calling me to pass an unseen test at the peak. ๐ŸŒ™โ›ฐ๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ™[…]

It is indeed a very positive dream. The mad driver is some past tendency that was trying to drive you towards the abyss. But you
