Sri Aurobindo writes in” The Mother”, “But there are many planes of her creation, many steps of the Divine Shakti.

There are, 7 planes of the Divine Manifestation. There are three higher worlds (parardha) which are planes proper to Sacchidananda, namely Satloka (world of infinite

Sometimes, there is a feeling that I am not actively outwardly doing enough to find the right resources or people around for Spiritual Growth. But other times, I feel that I should sincerely aspire within me for the Spiritual Growth and rest, the Mother will arrange it all outwardly. 🙂🔥🌹

Absolutely, the true spiritual life does not depend upon people, outer practices and resources. It depends upon the call or aspiration within. If the aspiration

I am aware that one should be above personal likes and dislikes toward work. Work should be done as Nishkama Karma. But given limited human understanding, finding one’s Purpose or Work that truly brings joy or the feeling of “this is what I am meant to do” – requires going through the process of active awareness and eliminating whatever doesn’t align with one’s nature. 😇🌄✨[…]

Dear Alok Da, In the book “The Mother” – Sri Aurobindo writes: “it is only the very highest supramental Force descending from above and opening from below that can victoriously handle the physical Nature and annihilate its difficulties…” – “Descending from above” I could get the idea. But “opening from below” How can the highest Supreme can be below? 😊🙏🏻🌹✨[…]

Opening from below means aspiration. As to the Divine, He is everywhere and in everything in all His Fullness, poornamadam, poornamidam….In His Supreme Transcendent state

Last night I had an interesting dream, but I was unable to understand it. In the dream, I was standing on a balcony along with some other people whom I know. There was a beautiful garden beneath. It was morning, but the sky was dark and very cloudy. 💭🌤️[…]

Which is the first slip of the Soul in its Manifestation? Is it due to Prakruthi or Purusha? Why and how I fell? Why not corrected in the beginning? Now, what is the meaning of Sacrifice when the child is left uncared for a long time? 🤕

January 23, 2026

There is no slip of the soul. The Jivatma has taken a very conscious decision to plunge into the play just as a child choses

Dear Alok Da, can you please explain Savitri to me. 😊🙏🏻🌼

I pray to the Mother before going to sleep. The problem is that I clench my jaw hard at night. How to apply Mother’s force to stop this? 😖💤

The best thing is to relax oneself completely using one of the number of imageries that the Mother has adviced such as contemplating the vastness

The Dudhkasi and Kailash Mountains are shown in China. It must be within India. Why is it in China? ⛰️🗺️

January 22, 2026

Well the peaks fall in China and the Indian governments have not been able to raise the issue. Besides, it is not easy to get

With the events that are unfolding, is the Human Cycle going to become more and more relevant and indispensable for men to be mindful of? I remember John F. Kennedy being aware of the text and complaining to the Indian Ambassador about not heeding his advice during the Indo-China War. 📚🤔😐[…]

Yes, it is true that the present day Communist Chinese block is a most dangerous one and The Mother and Sri Aurobindo both have warned

It is ideal if it is the one and the same person but it is generally not so, especially since life is still organised today

Can there be a possibility that Karl Marx was the Incarnation of forces quite hostile to the Creation? I claim he was an Asura or a vessel of one at the least. Here are some interesting facts that indicate it: When he was a student in Berlin, he wrote a blasphemous play called Oulamen, full of a theme of rebellion against the Divine. 😯[…]

I am in complete agreement with you. Though I haven’t read his life but his theories and ideas gave me a clear feeling that he

Before I turned to Sri Aurobindo, I was very much satisfied with the ascetic view of life and felt that it was the ultimate view of life. I was very much convinced by their arguments about the world.

It is a genuine feeling as far as your own spiritual evolution is concerned. One can also understand the anguish that every lover of India

You mentioned race issues in Auroville in the early days. What were they? I meet Africans, Europeans and Arabs. I also met Indians from different backgrounds. Sometimes they fight, rape and kill one another. How should I approach race and racial tensions? 😕🥀
