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

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? 🌳🪷✨🌸🕊️

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

‘When you come to the Divine,

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…🦁 🌋 ⚡ 🌊

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

One more thing is that there is a lot of disturbance around me and I am facing some trouble, like if I sit peacefully at home and do not give any reply to anyone then I face trouble, father is a very alcoholic person and the people who know him outside think that he is crazy, so can I come to Sri Arvind Ashram and do penance for 2-3 months? And what will have to be done for this?🗣️💥👪💔

I understand your situation but there is no such provision of doing an isolated Sadhana here. Sadhana here is primarily through work. Of course one

I see a light on the Ajna Chakra, initially it is very small, then on paying more attention to it the light turns into a round shape, then on paying attention to it a black round appears in the middle of that round light, then when I concentrate on that black round then my concentration goes deeper as if I am going into an infinite space, then that black round turns into a small, very small point of light.🟣 👁️ ✨ 🧘‍♂️

The circle of Light and dark centre are the twin powers of Knowledge and Ignorance. Bindu, the luminous point is your soul, the jivatma hidden
