I am not in favor of speculation and putting money in shares. Mutual bonds or deposits with fixed interests is fine. But speculation is like

This was the second time this happened. I had a dream at night that my scooty had stopped because it was out of fuel; this was the dream. Now real thing that happened the next day was that the same thing happened, but because I was aware, I went to the petrol pump and the scooty stopped right there only. 🌙🔮[…]

Yes, the understanding is quite correct. It is also generally believed (based on some conversations with old earliest disciples) that while the rectangular part contains

According to the Isha Upanishad, self-slayers go to the dark world and remain there for an unlimited period of time. Sri Aurobindo has also condemned suicide in Letters on Yoga. What will be the fate of those who pray to the Divine and desire shortening of their days upon earth by not taking treatment for their diseases?

I am faced with a choice between two ventures: one with a peaceful environment but limited long-term ownership, and another with complex family dynamics and a challenging atmosphere, but where the income could be fully dedicated to a higher spiritual purpose. ⚖️🕯️[…]

I have been carrying deep past trauma and recent life stress, which has left me feeling chronically exhausted, fearful, and isolated. Lately, I frequently experience frightening episodes during sleep where I feel a presence waking me up or find myself acting unconsciously. 🕊️🙏🏻[…]
