AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

My in-laws have strong opinions and a dominant voice. At times, their energy impacts me deeply. How can I stop being affected by them so much? Right now, we are living away from them due to work. But in the future, if we have to live together, it scares mešŸ˜±. In their presence, I feel there is no room for self-expression or choice. [conti]

Practice inwardness and be an impartial indifferent witness to all that is going on within and outside. Practice equanimity and most important of all, inner

I am a 70-year-old religious man and I regularly watch and read your talks and answers. I donā€™t know why, but I find all your responses related to rituals and worship very rigid. According to you, these things donā€™t hold much importance, perhaps because they are not emphasized in your favorite text, the Gita. Step out of your air-conditioned drawing room and comfortable environmentā€”only then will you understand the importance of worship and rituals, which are for common people who struggle daily even for basic needsšŸ˜³.

But who is saying that one ‘should not do’ Pooja and rituals if one wants to or is naturally interested and attracted towards them? All

I need to take a decision ,(about winding up my small bakery business) I was confused, I was in fearšŸ˜±, I was asking for help, that am I doing a right thing ? Shall I do it? Kept writing letters to mother, my one part was clinging and one part was rigid and in fear so my question is : how will I be able to hear to mothers guidance cz in between all this happenings of my mind and body I wasn’t able to understand the link between me and mother. How will I understand if she is stopping me or giving me a green flag? Please put some light on it Dada.

The question one has to ask is not whether one should do this or that but why does one want to do it. If one

I am 29 year old. From the very early childhood l am so attracted towards traditional spirituality, After joining society, Maa is so merciful to me and I can feel the guidance of her intuitively, the way serious of events happen. But last month IĀ  visited Ramkrishna mission, now the childhood attraction is arising again. I want to give myself totally in divine hands and wanted to join as brahmchari there, which can further led to sannyasi. The way I visited there is also dramatically , like mother wanted me to experience thatšŸ«¤. Then I prayed to mother to show the path ,what to do and just open the post (book Supreme) mother say thereĀ …[conti]

It is a genuine feeling, a truth energing from the past life. It is neither a vital being guiding you nor any hallucination. It is

I have been reading the Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo and getting very inspired by his references to the old European civilisations. I am at a cross-road where I have to choose a field of study. Society, parents tell me I should choose something practical — finance, economics, business? But I have set my mind on going into Ancient history. I want to do it because of the knowledge alone. I have been criticised for it because I may be taking an unsafe road. All this feedback from others makes me doubt myself. I sometimes feel like I am being irresponsible, and sometimes that is why I no longer want to open up to people due to these social pressures. I have no way of knowing the future, what is has in store for me. Is education for the sake of knowledge itself dead? Is servile education really the spirit of this agešŸ¤”?

There is a reason why the future is hidden from us. It is so that instead of making a choice based on outer gains and

Sometimes I wish I was driven by a mad vital desire for self improvement, physical fitness, and getting into high income high skilled job. This would have driven me to exceed myself in these areas, whereas now, in the absence of these desires, and also in the absence of the psychic fire to prepare the instrument for the sake of the divine, I find myself utterly incapable driving myself to work on becoming better than what I am right now šŸ«¤

Well desire is certainly better than tamasic inertia, but it need not be a mad desire. Desire restrained by the sattwic mind, a discerning reason,

Some people identify as atheists ā€” they donā€™t believe in God or any higher power, yet they strongly believe in the value of hard work, discipline, and ethical living. They focus on doing their work and trust that consistent effort will eventually bring good results, more and more money. Interestingly, such individuals tend to be quite successful in life outwardly. What are your thoughts in this? What is the fundamental difference in the way a theist and an atheist live their livesšŸ¤”?

June 20, 2025

Success comes wherever there is sincerity and effort. It has nothing to do with our inner or outer beliefs. I have seen genuine, sincere workers,

On training the will power. Mother says that will power is trained by using it. I am a very systematic person and would like to take a systematic approach to everything I do. I try to become conscious of myself and apply my will whenever possible but the trouble is that it takes a long time to become conscious of what needs to be done. Can you give some general guidelines on how one can take a systematic approach to this training of the will? Something in me has a deep necessity of developing this will, all I need is the right approach where I can measure the results and see the progress in a tangible form. If you can be very specific, it would be really helpfulšŸ¤Ø

It is desires and impatience that weaken the will, especially the sense of urgency to gratify an impulse.

By not acting impulsively, by postponing
