Sometimes in personal life we have to lie because the other person is not ready to listen to the truth or he opposes it very strongly, he gets very angry and there is an atmosphere of unrest, what should we do in this situation, because nowadays whenever I tell a lie, this line starts inside me: निर्मल मन जन सो मोहि पावा। मोहि कपट छल छिद्र न भावा॥ [A person with a pure mind attains me.

Is there any deeper reason for Sri Aurobindo refusing to meet Gandhi even after multiple requests cos it’s tough to believe Sri Aurobindo denying to give a chance to the man who emerged as the biggest leader Indians are rallying behind in the freedom movement after his and tilak’s departure and I’m thinking of alternate possibilities of the meeting probably bringing at least a little change in Gandhi’s ways and steer the country’s future to a better ways than what actually turned out🤔

What do you think about the statues with sexual postures in temples like Khajuraho? I read Osho’s discourse on this subject that it means conquer the sexuality inside us and getting the divine inside😳.

As I have shared earlier that I was in the lineage of DLS Rishikesh, but today onwards I took my final decision to follow the spiritual path of the Divine Mother and Sri Aurobindo and continuing silent chanting of the divine name “Sri Maa”. I may have disturbed a lot by asking many more questions to you, for that I beg your pardon. But I have few more queries, please guide me 😊 (1) What should be the regular routine for a spiritual seeker?

I feel uplifted when I listen to your talks or read the works of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. It inspires me to live by their teachings in my daily life. But as soon as I close the book or the talk ends, I find myself slipping back into old habits and patterns, handling things the same way I always have. How can I truly practice their path in my everyday life🤔?

May 24, 2025
