What about the people who drug smoke and smoke up? And the so called spiritual hippies and junkies..Are they serious about the path.. 🕸️💊🍷🚬

I don’t understand the meaning or the sense of your question about hippies and junkies. Who can say by outward things as to who is

Along with that I have also judged people specially boys who do intoxicants. Like they are not serious about their life and the health impact it has on them. Like it’s an addiction and not a sign of strong character. A weakness. What are your thoughts on that. And what about higher drug’s like lsd etc.. 🕸️💊🍷🚬

Addictions of all kinds do indicate a weakness of will. And the more we indulge in it the weaker we become.

From a materialistic worldly perspective, I don’t have anything substantial with me. All I have is the daily grind of earning a living—nothing more. I don’t know why I couldn’t progress further in life. Even though I have a family with a daughter, I haven’t been able to build a house or secure a well-paying job. As long as I live, I have to keep doing some work or the other. There’s no guarantee of age or health for me. I have no complaints about this life, but somewhere, the need for money keeps arising.🛍️💰⌚📦

Fate is always a mixed baggage for everyone. The silver lining is that despite the rigors and the challenges, despite the stresses and the sufferings

What do u feel on tarot and all these prediction based things.. is there any truth and reality in them. I had consulted a few and mostly I see their answers are negative when it comes to other people and relationships.. sometimes it helped as it was self assertive when it was only about me..What are your thoughts on it? 🎴🃏🔮🌑

These predictions whether through astrology or tarrot only indicate possibilities. They dip into the person’s subconscious mind or else try to read the notation of

Dear Alokda, Can you please tell me how I reject this type of music and can you also tell me some good music which can help in Sadhana and staying close to the Divine Mother? I love listening to music, have explored a lot of genres but I end up going back to listen to western Hippop a lot. But my inner conscience is not happy with the type of lyrics that I hear, because all they talk about is money, women, violence, drugs and other asuric characteristics . On other side there is a bit gentler melodic music in which they sing about being caught up in emotions, attachment and hopelessness. 🎵🎶🎧🎤

I am glad you have understood the concept very well. It is a common confusion because each age is flooded with the most popular music

How’s Aspiration different from Prayer? I mean, is praying for knowledge and bhakti not similar to aspiration?🏔️✨❤️‍🔥🪔

May 16, 2026

The difference between prayer and aspiration is mainly the seat of origin and the form it takes. Prayers generally originate from the mind and take

My father expired on 7 Aug 2025 at 3.45 pm did he get mokha. Is his soul happy ?🔓🕊️⛓️‍💥

May 16, 2026

Moksha is to be found in life. One gets moksha while living and not after death. It is difficult to say without an active contact

My question is on the part where you mentioned about people who sacrifice for greater love like creative writers or leaders. In the closing sentence, you mention social duty. Please clarify my misunderstanding – I have always considered sacrificing for nation or inspiring others as social duty. What qualifies as a social duty? And how can one become a sacrifice and another an attachment? 🖇️🔗👥🤝

May 16, 2026

Social duties are primarily those born out of social relationships as an accepted convention in a given society. They are not truth but they help

What is falsehood, how to free ourselves from it?❌👎🎭🤥⛓️‍💥

May 16, 2026

Falsehood is all that opposes the Truth, either directly or by imitating it. Truth, in the spiritual sense is not what the senses report, that

Da I am not able to understand anything, I am feeling blank, I want to say a lot. I want to mail you in detail, I want to say everything but I am not able to write. I feel like coming face to face and saying it but right now that is not possible. I am feeling a lot of pain, I feel like leaving everything and going away, I am tired. I don’t want to understand anyone anymore, I am not able to do it anymore. What is happening to me?😴💤🥱😵‍💫

May 16, 2026

I can understand your state and what you must be going through. It is unfortunately the fate of most human love because it is based

“All depends on what you want. If you want Yoga, take all that happens as the expression of the Divine Grace leading you towards your goal, and try to understand the lesson that circumstances give.” (The Mother) My question – is it fine, if while trying to ‘understand the lesson’, we make mistakes? I mean to ask, if we misinterpret the lesson, will the Divine take care of it?✨🛡️💖🌹

May 16, 2026

To the Divine Consciousness there are no mistakes. Human beings go through the experiences, pleasant and painful due to the Ignorance in which they live.

At present, I feel confused about what path to take and what kind of work would be suitable for me considering my health condition and educational background. It has been my heartfelt aspiration to live in Pondicherry, as I feel deeply connected to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I stayed in Pondicherry for one and a half years earlier and now 🪷🌳☀️🤍

May 16, 2026

One doesn’t need to live in Pondicherry or join the Ashram to pursue the goal of Integral Yoga. It is only if one has the

When I look at Sri Aurobindo, my mind gets concentrated on his left eye and then that eye of his seems as if it is looking at me like Mahakaal (the destroyer) and I like his looking at me like that and sometimes it happens that during the day while serving, that eye suddenly starts appearing on my third eye and when I bow to him, then that eye starts appearing, that means it happens many times during the day that his eye appears on my third eye. Is this because of looking at his picture too much or is it a true experience?👁️‍🗨️🔱🕉️🔥

Experiences, however subjective they may be always carry a truth within them. It is just that the interference of the ego and desires builds a

I have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?🪈🐎☸️📜

May 16, 2026

Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the
