One thing pains me a lot. I see that people who waste money and resources😠, for example re-constructing homes, breaking and taking down good furniture and replacing it with a new one, wasting electricity in the name of home decorations, wasting water in the name of digging borewells instead of sharing, purchasing what is not required just for the sake of satisfaction and show off, spending lavishly in wedding and the list is endless. Most pathetic thing is that these are the people who have a lot of money while various others strive to fulfill daily needs and try hard to save money to satisfy small- small desires. why such combinations like sensible, spiritual and rich are less? Does it has anything to do with one’s thinking pattern? How can one earn money and be good and sensible at the same time?

Yes it should ideally be so, should have been so, but human beings easily respond to the Asuric temptations of a life of pleasure and

Why is it so difficult to break up with someone😭? There are things you like about the person, yet at the same time, some things don’t feel right about the same person. If two people aren’t meant to be together for a lifetime, why do they meet, fall in love, and then drift apart? Why do girls become so emotionally attached that letting go feels nearly impossible? The thought of that person loving and treating someone else the same way they treated you can be heartbreaking. You also feel jealous about these things. It’s(the breakup) overwhelming—making it hard to focus on anything in life, leaving you feeling sad all day and night, and disconnected from everything happening around you.

It is the sense of loss that torments us in a breakup. We naturally get attached to all that nourishes or nurtures us in some

Then when we returned back in the room I met my son and my niece and it was one of my husband’s pranks and I got so angry at my husband for the rest of the dream I was w him on and on, I hardly get angry so when I got up I could not believe how I was angry and shouting for such a long time..

I work in the field of stock market and Finance at the same time I have a strong pull inside me towards Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna. I am very much moved by the Essays on the Gita and am trying to put into practice whatever little I have understood. There Sri Krishna does not qualify works into Divine and Undivine but rather advises to turn all life into a Yoga. My question is how can I transform my professional activities into a Karmayoga, because all of my professional actives whirl around the satisfaction of my own or somebody else’s desires while Sri Krishna advises to work in a desireless spirit😄?

he steps to turning all works into karmayoga may be summarised as below.
1. Remember the Divine at the beginning of whatever you

I realize that surrendering completely is essential, but I struggle with it. Right now, I’m not in a good place—while my batchmates are progressing in their careers, I am still without a job despite working hard. This has affected my confidence deeply, and I find myself feeling inadequate and easily distracted😄. Please advise.

Success in outer life is a combination of factors. It is not a judgment on one’s capacity or character. Besides each person has his or

I Ā had a question regarding menstruation and Indian traditional values in some places. In my household, there has always been restrictions to not go to temple or enter Pooja room or even an extreme case, that my maternal grandmother won’t even touch someone on periods as somehow that will be a hindrance and she will have to cleanse herself before going to the Pooja room. This has always been something that bothered me and angered me a lot as a kid and even now sometimes. I don’t understand the whole concept clearly, why would God be so anti about it as they say. Is there any science behind it or any logic or anything. Or it’s the right thing😌?

These are never rules of God and are not supported by any authentic scriptures. They were rules of hygiene as is evident from restrictions to
