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?πŸͺˆπŸ¦šπŸ’™πŸ›ž

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..πŸŒ§οΈπŸŒ€πŸ§ πŸͺ«πŸ˜°

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?πŸ”„πŸŒ±πŸŒΎπŸ›ž

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,..πŸŒͺ️ πŸŒŠπŸ•·οΈ πŸ•ΈοΈπŸŒ‹

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.πŸ“œβ³πŸŒΎπŸ›€οΈ

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?πŸ“‰πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ”„βŒβœοΈ

I keep wanting to be at the Ashram, this is how I feel every day and many times. I feel like I’m convincing myself to be here forcefully, getting only parts of me temporarily attached to a perspective or a decision. This just doesn’t feel absolute enough, and even though They’re everywhere and always with us, my nature felt closer there and it felt hopeful, receptive and faith also felt stronger. I also strongly feel I need to offer so much more of my mind, will, heart, sense of identity too, and I feel I’ve bound these up for partial reasons. I don’t feel deterred by the difficulties you described, not because I’m so strong, but because that’s the only way towards the one important thing. Why do I feel this way, is it unrelated to aspiration, but just a mental or vital insistence? 🌳πŸͺ·βœ¨πŸŒΈπŸ•ŠοΈ

Come then. Take a leap of faith with trust in Her Grace. Remember these words of the Mother.

I was sleeping and it was as if some lines of Savitri were going on in my mind, the meaning of which I don’t know, then suddenly one of those thoughts came that all this is a game of man and nature and there were not just words, it was very few but the divine truth of this thought descended inside me,..β™ΎοΈπŸ“œπŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈ

Why doubt these beautiful experiences. Our mind is only a channel, not the originator of anything. It does modify the things that come to it

But my question here is that many gyani margi saints like Raman mahrisi, Nisargdatt and so on …. I never know whether their followers had spontaneous and sometimes uncontrolled kriyas happening with the many time for years. They say sometimes energies of kali sometimes lord Narsimha etc doing things with them. They say it’s release process going on , blockages etc. Is it possible for a very naive or not so developed spiritual aspirant to experience nondoership…🦁 πŸŒ‹ ⚑ 🌊

These radical awakenings are certainly suspect. Every path has a certain practice, especially the effort at self-purification. These sudden seemingly marvellous experiences are generally the
