After that revelation whatever fadings of the light, whatever periods of darkness may afflict the soul, it can never irretrievably lose what it has once held. The experience is inevitably renewed and must become more frequent till it is constant; when and how soon depends on the devotion and persistence with which we insist on the path and besiege by our will or our love the hidden Deity. Dada please explain the paragraph clearly and if one has realised then how he lose the contact. Is it only happen in Integral Yoga or even traditional yoga also?🌱🦋☀️💠🪷

In all Yogas, the first step is to break open the circle of Ignorance in which our self is trapped. It is like a bird

There’s a contradiction going on inside me. Sometimes I have intense devotion for Sri Aurobindo and sometimes for The Mother. I chant the name of the one who comes to mind. The Lord says, “Open up to the Mother, surrender everything to her.” But what should I do when I feel devotion for the Lord? They are the same, but I don’t experience this, so it’s difficult to see one.☀️🪷🌸💎

Both are one. When you have love and devotion for Sri Aurobindo it automatically goes to the Mother and when you pray to the Mother

My question is related to elite educational institutions like IIT. For students interested in Science and Maths (not biology), IIT admission is considered as highest aim for learning Engineering skills. However, as per the news and personal experiences, there is cut-throat competition, high suicide rate and heavy bombarding of distorted western values in these institutions. They do not impart any deeper sense, truth vision or higher values which can safeguard against fall. Students are made to study day and night to get into these institutions. Should any child of India really work extremely hard and aim for getting into such institution?🎓📚🏢🎒

These higher values are best transmitted early in age. The high end institutions often dent it, not necessarily consciously but because they draw children who

I seek your guidance on a persistent right-side sleeping preference. Recently, repeated inflammation in the right jaw made me more aware of this pattern. Right-side lying brings calm and inwardness, whereas supine posture induces subtle anxiety. I wonder whether this lateral dominance reflects any deeper energetic or psycho-spiritual structure, or if it is purely mechanical. Should this tendency be consciously balanced, or simply observed without interference?😴💤🛌

There is indeed a subtle difference in the side one sleeps. Even during the day there is a switching between nostril dominance. It is possibly

In every ashram there is one specific daily sadhana  and initiation given to the devotess. Which helps in spiritual progress and healing the body through yogic sadhanas and improving concentration. Toh mera question hai ki Sri Aurobindo Ashram mein konsi sadhana or imitation diya jata hai to practice. How to heal ourselves as medicines sirf suppress karta hai . How to improve concentration to do our work more efficiently?🪷🌳🕊️✨

Sri Aurobindo has given us a golden rule that one can apply and practice in every situation and circumstances.

‘The Mother is always with

I seek to live, along with my family, a life that expresses the highest potential inherent in human existence — a life that mirrors, in its own measure, the glory of the Supreme Mother, the source of all Shakti and creation.However, despite this faith and continued practice, I experience a gap between knowledge, devotion, and visible transformation. I am seeking insight into how I could bridge this gap?↔️🌉🚧

The great gods and goddesses have to be approached with great humility and surrender. They see the truth behind the rituals and act on the

In Savitri, Aswapati had to travel many subtle worlds before reaching at the summit. I just want to know whether the person doing the sadhana must have to undertake the same journey during life time as well as after the physical body is discarded. Will the psychic being have to undergo the same route after death, even if a part is already covered during life time or skip those already covered?🌅☀️🔥🕊️

The journey of Aswapati is a very special journey taken consciously by him as the pathfinder and the pathmaker for the New Creation. It is

When I read anand brahma Chapter of Synthesis of yoga then I found that I have experiencing these same thing much before. When I meditate or aspire or in the state of self giving then I find these two source where I feel peace, beauty, thril, wideness and anand. In different way such doubt in mother sri aurobindo which was very painful moment for me, ego, excessive ambition and sexuality etc. Now their impact is much less than before. When i take prayers and meditation books and randomly open the page i find “oh lord, you want i become your selfless worker than a meditative person”, “oh lord, don’t attach with your inner presence, make me a hero warrior so that i can surrender to you all parts of my being so that your complete manifestation will be possible”🧘☀️🪷📖

Your experience clearly indicate that you are quite well on the path. The lower nature is never easy to conquer in anyone. Even the strongest

You have said, ‘Then one would laugh at one’s follies and hate and bitterness.’ I find this statement very powerful to counter all bitterness in me towards people. But, when I remember my past frictions with people and the way I was treated, I can’t help feeling anger for them. Is it becoming more difficult because of my psychosis?😠😡🔥💢

The more you justify these reactions the more they will linger and grow. Each one has to make a choice whether we keep living in
