When I see something is bad happen in my surrounding (selfish activities, blaming others, jealous, anger etc) I don’t bearing this things, feeling sorrow in my inner part. But I am not condemning to anyone, still i think I also same responsible for this situation, if i can change these things myself then it’s affect will be down. I feel detachment inside, not the exempt everything detachment but peace and joyful state i feel inside and every world still the nature will affect me. If sometimes I loose the inner peace or pressure of my heart then remembering, aspiring her will suddenly this contact is establish. In this stage what should i do? How I can liberate the cruel behavior of the nature? How will be establish the relation among those people who have around me🤨?

The sorrow you feel is a psychic sorrow and the need for harmony and peace among people a psychic need. It is in answer to

Actually I get conflicted. Sometimes I’m thinking of Krishna 🦚and talking to him and sometimes to mother. Now that I’m remembering Mother more and more. I feel like I’m moving away from Krishna. How do I overcome this puzzling situation. When I sit to meditate I get confused about whom to imagine. So I end up with both of them together. Is it fine or I’m too much stuck in ignorance and all. I keep a small Krishna in my pocket always and talk sometimes and you told me before to take Krishna everywhere with me like a living being and I forget to buy when I remember sometimes I think of him in my chest like he is watching from there and talk to him. I’m definitely not fully sincere, I feel like I’m making simple stuff more difficult and getting stuck in mental thoughts. What can I do Da?

June 18, 2025

The conflict is coming due to too much focus on the outer form. But there is no reason to be conflicted. Sri Krishna and the

I am facing a contradiction in my mind regarding the fate of the soul who are at an advanced stage of spiritual life but not reached the highest and have to discard the physical body in a violent manner like the last plane crash . Will they have to halt at the subtle – physical and vital domain for a longer period, because at the moment of death the psychic being can not take any decision. In this case moment of death must have passed in fear. I have purchased the book Death, dying and beyond written by you and started reading it. It is really wonderful book.

June 17, 2025

Sadhaks that are really advanced have no fear, absolutely no fear. They see and find the Divine everywhere and neither life nor death carries any

If Mother sees everything then why such a horrible plane crash happened 😱?

June 17, 2025

The Mother is always there but She acts from behind a veil through many of Her different personalities and powers. These personalities or gods and

While reading The Sunlit Path, I came across the Mother’s statement that ‘Reason must be the Master’ and that Reason is developed by using it. I’m unsure about what she exactly mean by ‘Reason’ in this context🤔.

June 17, 2025

Also, what kind of habits or inner attitudes can I cultivate so that reason becomes an active, guiding force in life.

She means governing life

Bhaiya, you often say that making progress should be our aim. What exactly do you mean by ‘making progress’😳?

June 17, 2025

Progress means to expand one’s capacities, – spiritual, intellectual, emotional, vital, physical by whatever means at one’s disposal.

Spiritual capacity increases by increasing the aspiration,

Why is it that only when something tragic happens, like the Ahmedabad tragedy, people start sharing emotional posts saying things like ‘Life is so, so unpredictable,’ ‘We always think we have time, but the truth is, we don’t,’ or ‘Hug the people you love like it’s the last moment you’re spending with them’? What are your thoughts on such posts circulate during tragedies😳.

June 16, 2025

This shows that we are still too crude and largely live on the surfaces. We need strong outer events to wake up to the world-pain

Alok da since a year or two, a couple of days just before I fall ill with cold and cough🤢, there is a weird kind of awareness mixed with fear sometimes about falling unwell, sometimes a sense of pride that the body has been doing so well despite hectic schedules etc. While I try to surrender the feeling to Mother, there are mixed results every time. Sometimes the viral is mild and passes away, sometimes it is severe. I feel making sense of this phenomenon will help the body and mind to cope better, hence asking you what should be the right attitude during the time when these feelings arise. Also how to make the surrender better?

June 16, 2025

When these feelings arise, it is best to take a few moments of quietude (preferably asap), and then concentrate in the heart and offer it

“There is certainly a great difference between calling and pulling — you can and must always call for help and the rest — the answer will be proportionate to your capacity of reception and assimilation. Pulling is a selfish movement that may bring down forces quite disproportionate to your capacities and thus are harmful.” Alok bhai, what does pulling mean in this msg from Mother🤔?

June 16, 2025

Pulling means trying to get down the Divine Force by the force and intensity of will, generally for some gain of Yoga or to get

What is swabhava and swadharma? I didn’t have goals to become a doctor or engineer etc. I wanted to do well whatever it is that I did for work. I don’t like telling people what to do, not interested in attention, but having the space to do my best. I am not a high planning-oriented person, I try to do what I truly want to do. But, all these become an issue in the society, where people are expected to be very driven, especially in work. My vision naturally arises after one phase of life is over and then I get to slid into the next one, but it is smooth and organic. I also don’t like to be around very dominating people, I have an inward turn of nature in general and not boisterous🫤. I like doing everything quietly, [conti]

“She is in every blade of grass , every gust of wind, every star and sound. From moss to mountains, from silence to storms – all is Devi. She sees all. She knows all. And yet, She often remains a silent witness. Why? Because unless you invoke Her, She does not interfere🤔.

June 15, 2025

Yes She is everywhere and in everything but She acts in two modes of Her working, Vidya and Avidya, the higher Supernature, Paraprakriti, to which

June 15, 2025

It is not easy to convince parents if they have fixed ideas. But if one stays firm they eventually concede. You should have courage and

Ramakrishna says that the Jivakoti can ascend to the Divine but may not descend, while the Ishwarakoti can ascend and descend at will. Sri Aurobindo says that going by this definition ‘Ishwarakoti are those who get to the integral Reality and can therefore combine the Ascent with the Descent and contain the “two ends” of existence in their single being.🤨’ -[Conti]

June 15, 2025

By definition, it seems so. Ramakrishna often alluded in his talks that Brahman and his Shakti are One and the world is their own manifestation

I am in a committed relationship with my partner for almost 5 years. The first few years were normal but since last year we both have had issues mentally. We’re both seeking therapies from our respective therapists but as of now the constant fights is ruining the very aspect of happiness in our relationship and I feel like the love we had for each other has lessened. Their is minimal to no mutual respect for each other and I know that we’ll stick by each other till the end but I’m not very hopeful if we’ll be happy . My question to you was if a lot of boundaries have been crossed and we’ve said things to each other we can’t really take back 😪and there’s a lot of bitterness for each other and we’re not as passionate about each other as we used to be. Even after all these things will we able to put things in the past and move forward. Do things get better after all these things ? I try as long as I can but sometimes, I don’t see that patience and willingness to work on our relationship from the other side so what am I supposed to do to make things better ?

It is difficult to say much without knowing all the details which for obvious reasons cannot be done through the email. However given your age,

In your videos, I heard that Mother used to say that special occasions like November 24, August 15, or Diwali have a greater impact if we go to those places 3–4 days before. Why does this happen? And how can we use the real significance of these special dates for our progress🤨?

June 14, 2025

Special dates bring into play special forces. Hence by remaining open and conscious on these days we can receive them better. However there are other

I need to clear a doubt from Savitri🕊️: Our life is entrenched between two rivers of light. Which are these two rivers of light?

June 14, 2025

The first river of light is the inner life, the life of the soul that has torn the veil of ignorance and joined its life

I can’t wake up early, this disturbs the whole day😓.

June 14, 2025

It is largely a question of habit and habits can be modified by exercising the will. But there are people who are naturally late sleepers
