Dear Da, as you sayย I keep walking, keep walking. Neither isย Bhagwan showing even a little light, nor is it visible to me. Don’t have any realisation or this is the realย  state of being ? Orย  beating aroung the bush?ย My words fails to express the inner state. Walk but keep walking towards the goal with an urge for progress.๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ˜–

Sri Aurobindo in letters of yoga says to reject the things which are lower. What does rejection actually mean? Is it like taking one step back when thoughts or desires comes and observing it till the end without getting identified. Or is it using willpower or force to stop the desire or thoughts? Doesn’t this approach multiples the effect later on as we are trying suppress instead of letting go? Or is it that, we don’t care what thought or desire are there and we fully try to concentrate on our aspiration or divine?๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿซธ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ›‘

Rejection of the impulses and movements of lower nature means several things together.

It is not to be occupied with the satisfaction of desires

I want to take up a job aligned to physics research. I feel I should learn and work on something that is complex and dedicate it to Mother. But in my current job people are nice and am earning well. And I don’t know if I am in the stage of ordinary life or spiritual life so I should follow swadharma or give up all dharma and follow only what the Divine wants me to which I feel is staying in the same job? In this context what should I do that I will be my authentic self?๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿข๐Ÿค

First thing needed is to simplify the coordinates under consideration. People being nice and pay being good must come later. It is also helpful to

In one of your recent recordings , you mentioned that “You too prayed for the diversion of cyclone from Pondicherry for all incoming devotees to ashram”. But, you told as if you didn’t want to do the prayer as a regular practice. But, Mother says that we can ask her and involve her in all day to day things. And when She is making impossible things as possible on earth, why shouldn’t we ask for eradication of any kind of disharmony in nature or life?ย Why should any other force on earth shall function when it is actually creation of our Mother?ย ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒโ›ˆ๏ธ

The cosmic forces have their own role in the world play. They too have emerged from the Divine Mother and there is a reason why

I’ve been pondering this question for a little while. About 3 months back, I saw the Netflix animated series Kurukshetra. In it, when the Pandavas had to bring down Dronacharya, finding it difficult Krishna suggested to Yuddhistira that he lie (Aswatthama hato hata). It’s only when Yuddhistira refuses to lie that Krishna asks him to tell a half truth (Nara ba Gunjara). My question is how can a God endorse lying, when the Mother herself has forbidden us to lie?โ˜ธ๏ธ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿนโš”๏ธ
