Sometimes when my mind is agitated and concentration on the Mother at the heart could be a challenge, or it takes a while for the mind to settle down to have effective concentration, I wonder if I could use some mantras to bring my mind to a focus. I would rather utilize mantra(s) that bind me to Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Have they approved of any mantra(s) to be used as part of the sadhana? are they to be chanted, or listened to?

Was going thru the book โ€œA divine life in A divine body โ€œย Nowadays , we hear so much about psychic abilities and mediums โ€ฆ How are these different?ย Should one try to develop these as a part of Sadhna to have a true connection with the divine. How do we separate psychic being from a psychic?โœจ๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

Yesterday I saw a dream where I was with a little boy in a big space (seems like a park), where there was no one around and suddenly out of nowhere there came a monkey which felt like wanted me to follow him, at the moment the little boy was standing at a distance from me, so I called the boy near me by hand signalling and then followed the monkey and there was no malicious act from the monkey and after few steps the monkey stopped and pointed towards a direction, I tried to go that way a bit to see but at that point I got awake. To me it doesn’t seem like a subconsciously created usual dream but I am unable to interpret it, Please help.๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒœ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค

Sat as existence, Asat as non existence, Then according to me everything what I experience are all Sat only.ย So can I conclude there is nothing “Asat ” Even if it’s a distortion to the original,ย Like Mirage looking like water,ย the time when I see as mirage, it exists.ย When I go near water exists. Depending on Kala, Desa,ย the seen, or the experience changes.ย So both are Sat in their time and space.ย As long as I exist, all my experiences are Sat,. All objects around me are Sat. So there’s no Asat? ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธโ™พ๏ธโœจ๐ŸŒŒ

Sat is true existence. There is only one true existence. Asat is whatever is not true existent. It is a distortion of the true Existent
