AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I am a qualified medical doctor whose career path has navigated international relocation, raising a child largely on my own, and successfully retraining in family medicine to earn my fellowship. Throughout my life, I consciously chose to prioritize my family’s needs, which eventually led to an extended break from practice. 🧭🙏🏻[…]

The Divine leads and guides but does not push or coerce us to follow the leading or the guidance. There is an internal freedom given

What The Mother and Sri Aurobindo point out as drawbacks are all there in me, I feel. Not knowing how to put in effort, thinking everything is for the ego, attracting the attention of others, lack of higher perceptions, gap between soul and body, which the Nature is filled with adverse forces, intervention of vital adversities and half-truths, coming under the influence of alien forces of mind, not knowing things of the world, etc.🙏✨ […]

Here is a letter of Sri Aurobindo that gives us the secret of the change.

‘All can be done by the Divine, the heart and

“Sri Aurobindo, on the other hand affirms that while suffering and evil are there no doubt, the real purpose of life is a divine fulfilment by progressively embodying Truth and Harmony and Delight. That is our ultimate divine destiny for which the soul plunged into the great adventure of creation.” In true sense, how do we embody Truth, Harmony and Delight in this earthly life? My question is transformation into what kind of Divine destiny?

What is the step-by-step method to pray to Mother Mirra or Sri Aurobindo? And which book would help? I am exhausted from trying everything—rituals, astrology, meditation, and mantra sadhana. Nothing works, and I have almost run out of money; at 26, I am completely dependent on my parents. Every month brings some ailment—migraines, asthma, or stomach pain. I’ve gone half-mad from taking so much medication. I see no path forward—no idea whom to turn to or whom to accept as a guru. If Mother helps others, why isn’t She helping me? How do I open myself to Her? I have literally no money or friends; my phone and my parents are my only companions. All I have are books by Sri Aurobindo, Mother Mirra, and other spiritual gurus. I even fight with my mother at home, though she cares about me; she has her own health issues. My father suffers from depression and doesn’t go to work, so 80% of his salary gets cut. I haven’t been able to study at all this year; even when I do try, I can’t retain the concepts. What should I do? I have to go to Bangalore again on September 11th. I’ve tried everything—meditation, mantra sadhana, astrology, rituals, and books—but I have no energy left now, nor any faith or hope. Please tell me what to do. Everyone kept telling me to read this book or that, read the Gita, try astrology, or practice meditation—but nothing has changed. After all this, I am in the exact same place I was 7 or 10 years ago. It is a bleak existence—the same patterns, constant suicidal thoughts, nightmares, and extreme loneliness. I cannot go on living alone like this anymore.

Are you not repeating the same mistake by asking for a step by step method? The fact is that reading does not help if we

What is real happiness, and where do Sri Aurobindo and The Mother truly want to lead us through Integral Yoga? I struggle to understand why dishonest, unspiritual people often thrive effortlessly with wealth, fame, and societal respect, while an honest devotee is consumed by domestic conflicts, illness, self-doubt, and constant hardship. 🧭💛[…]

First of all this is an overgeneralised statement. Most alcoholics and people who are engaged in crime are not happy. They are in great distress

I was riding in the back of an army jeep driven by a decorated veteran, speeding violently over rubble into enemy lines amidst brutal urban combat. As the driver launched the vehicle off a collapsed structure, I was thrown clear, landing among allied soldiers amid horrifying scenes of fire, death, and relentless artillery. 👶🏻🌿[…]

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]
