What is your take on trauma bonding? I see few talking about how difficult there life has been and how they were neglected. Not denyingย  the trauma one has gone through.. but is there a possibility they are magnifyingย  it and accepting this it for others gratification and attention?? Teens doing that is also worrying.ย What do you think of this?๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธโ“

Human beings almost invariably look at life from the lens of ignorance. They act and react based on their limited understanding and enter into a

Please help understand below (from chapter ‘Equality’, page 191-192) in the right context:” Our secret soul takes a pleasure in this strife and effort, and even a pleasure in adversity and suffering, which can be complete enough in memory and retrospect, but is present too behind at the time and often even rises to the surface of the afflicted mind to support it in its passion; but what really attracts the soul is the whole mingled weft of the thing we call life with all its disturbance of struggle and seeking, its attractions and repulsions, its offer and its menace, its varieties of every kind.”๐Ÿ—๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ”’โค๏ธ

Recently there has been a controversy over a comment made by two well known priests on girls, in which the girls are again replying to them and if we leave aside the girls, then everyone else is saying the right thing about these things said by the saints. If we look at all this with a new consciousness, then how should we look at it?๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ“ข

Life feels very hard Alok da. I often feel that nothing has amounted. much in any aspect of my life. Though I keep trying, disappointments. are almost the routine. As you can imagine, I am feeling exhausted. with all that pushing, all the series of frustrations. I don’t expect. life to be smooth, but it feels incredibly bumpy (something that I am reminded of also when I see most of the people around me, such as my peers, my relatives, my colleagues, my friends)โ›ˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿงฑ๐Ÿชซ

I recently completed this beautiful book – Champaklal Speaks. I have a few questions that came to my mind. 1- The book felt like aspiration and utmost bhakti in bold letters. How is one so consistent with an aspiration. If an aspiration is not consistent, does that mean it wasn’t an aspiration in the first place?๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโž”๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโœจโ˜€๏ธ

Disciples like Champaklal have lives behind them. Such a special Grace doesn’t come without that.

It takes time for aspiration to become steady and consistent.

When I read Sri Aurobindo and Sri Ma for the first time, I felt a sense of aha inside me that how good it is to be a human and to be on this earth and I felt a sense of freedom that God should be like this because before reading Sri Aurobindo I was afraid of God, even devotion was a fear and today after reading this again I have the same feeling. May our beautiful earth of God become divine.๐Ÿ“˜๐Ÿชทโœจโœ๏ธ

Very beautiful Grace. This bhaav and this aspiration both come from the psychic being and connects you straight to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

I made a mistake in my life, and by the time I realised that I shouldnt have done that though i knew that somewhere i am not being loyal to the person i am with and i was fully drawn into my desires โ€ฆat one fine day everything got burnt . I couldnโ€™t save anything, so I moved forward slowly, resting in Motherโ€™s lap and offering everything I had done to everyone and myself. After two years, I made another mistakeโ€ฆ and today I am feeling deep fear. While offering things to Mother, I keep thinking how could I make the same kind of mistake again? ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธโž”๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธโž”๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

In a video “Param Maa Ke Sandesh” you tell from Sri Aurobindo’s letters that when there is no difference between Sri Maa and Sri Aurobindo, then in true sense supramental yoga begins. Then you tell about Sri Aurobindo and say that going towards Maa will lead to complete yoga, if you stay towards me then the benefit will be less. So Dada, my question is that when Sri Maa is Sri Aurobindo’s power then why did Sri Aurobindo say this?๐Ÿ”ฝ๐Ÿ”ผ๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒโœจ

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are in their essential consciousness. But for the purposes of manifestation they appear as two, even as Ishwara and Shakti.

In relationships we often come across people who are manipulative, who project something a faded in front of you . Sometimes there is a feeling of deep resentment for such people.

I have been bothered with this situation several times, when there are certain people who you are associated to as ‘family’ and cannot really cut ties with them although they are someone who I do not get along with, or can reason with. It rather feels stifling to be around them because of the disruption in the environment they cause with their behaviour, presence, and discussions.โ›ˆ๏ธ ๐Ÿงฑ โšก๐Ÿ’” ๐Ÿ‘ฅ ๐Ÿซฅ

ย I am completely unemployed and when I am trying to study sincerely, I can’t do it. And I am depressed looking back on those 4 years which I have wested mindlessly doing nothing. Also, as I made no progress and wasted my time and energy in everything except study, now I became mentally and physically very weak. As I was always inclined to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo and quite involved in our branch’s activity, I don’t know how it has happened with me. Though I know that I am the only one responsible for this situation.๐Ÿ’ผโŒ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿชซ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
