While supporting a family through deep suffering, I find myself fluctuating between uplifting them and absorbing their heavy vibrations, leaving me emotionally drained. I aspire to remain an instrument of love and active help without losing the inner poise of the sakshi (detached witness) or getting entangled in vital emotions. 🤝🪷🙏🏻[…]

Jay maa. Alok da, I am hearing many times payal sound in my home at night time. What is the meaning of that? Please tell me. 🔔🦚🙏🏻

What’s the true meaning of Secular? Secular education? Does it have anything to do with the faith of one’s religion? 🏛️📚🙏🏻 […]

Sometimes I feel that something higher and vast is trying to touch and enter not only my mind but also my physical brain. Yet I feel that the brain is not ready for it. It is still too narrow and rigid, not sufficiently supple or plastic. It feels as though the higher consciousness is waiting for the right moment. 🧠✨🙏🏻 […]

It is quite possible what you say. The simplest way to prepare the brain is by reading Sri Aurobindo. Similarly the simplest way to prepare

Who do people get brainwashed, fooled, cheated, or influenced? Don’t they see the falsehood? What in them attracts such experiences in life? 🧭🌿

We should not worry about people. What others do is their business. Each one must look into one’s own business and constantly work towards improving

I can start out like a kindergarten student to learn about things from the most basics without hesitating or worrying about judgment and other social fears, which is probably what I’m most afraid of for some reason. 🌱🙏🏻

I experienced two vivid dreams where I was repeatedly attacked and forced to fight for survival. After overpowering three assailants in the first dream, the second dream escalated into heavy gunfire, fractured versions of myself, and betrayal by a trusted companion.🌙🛡️[…]

After many years in a demanding corporate career, I have never felt truly aligned with this path, finding my genuine fulfillment instead in creative pursuits like filmmaking and photography. Alongside my job, I built a creative venture that is now gaining steady traction, though familial responsibilities keep me tied to my day job for now. 🎬🪷[…]

What do we mean by “there was a calling to …” to visit a place or to be in Pondicherry, in the ashram? What is this calling? How does it feel when one experiences such a thing? And when people say “Mata ne bolaya hai” or “Bolenath ne bolaya hai”, how true is it? In essence, do gods really call people to visit them? 🪷🙏🏻

October 30, 2026

Call simply means an inner urge, an impulsion, the awakening of the will or a strong feeling to do something, say to visit a special

Shree Nirod Da has mentioned at several places that he had developed a kind of acquaintance, unknowingly, with “Man of Sorrow”, from which the Grace of the Lord liberated him. I am curious to know about it. If you get time, would you mind explaining it to me? 📖🕯️

“Man of Sorrow” is described in Savitri as well as Prayers and Meditations thus.

Answering her pathos

Alok da, I was contemplating on the idea that in life, humans mostly live to make others happy- at least I have lived mostly like that. It starts from parents to friends to partner to future kids maybe. But isn’t it true that if the Divine is happy with us, there is no need to worry about anyone’s happiness? 🌷🙏🏻[…]

October 30, 2026

It is only the Sattwic people who think of other’s happiness. Most live and think only or mainly about their happiness. However since almost whole

In the third chapter of The Mother, it is written: “Regard your life as given you only for the divine work and to help in the divine manifestation.” My question is: what is meant by ‘divine work’? We do household works mainly and rarely do we go out. Do I understand by this that whatever work we do should be considered as Mother’s work? 📖🪷🙏🏻 […]

Divine Work is the work given by the Divine that we are originally meant to do. But it takes time to grow conscious of this

The Divine Consciousness
