AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

But my question here is that many gyani margi saints like Raman mahrisi, Nisargdatt and so on …. I never know whether their followers had spontaneous and sometimes uncontrolled kriyas happening with the many time for years. They say sometimes energies of kali sometimes lord Narsimha etc doing things with them. They say it’s release process going on , blockages etc. Is it possible for a very naive or not so developed spiritual aspirant to experience nondoership…🦁 πŸŒ‹ ⚑ 🌊

As far as I know bhakti traditions saints give some Sadhana to do immersing the mind in the beloved. Is it so easy that you get initiation and practise yognidras and kriyas will act upon you to purify you. They say they have seen their past lives etc also. Seeing them I feel we devotees are foolΒ  Β 

These radical awakenings are certainly suspect. Every path has a certain practice, especially the effort at self-purification. These sudden seemingly marvellous experiences are generally the play of the mind and the vital supported by dubious forces that wear divine masks. This is especially so where the person claims to enter the state of nondoership. Having an odd sudden experience is one thing but to have a radical change of consciousness is quite another and not possible without long effort and labour. All these uncontrolled kriyas and visions and rush of forces moving someone seem more like a play and display of the vital world that is not only misleading but dangerous since the sadhak may never realise that he is caught and trapped in a world of false glimmers.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I’m curious to know what place Sri Aurobindo would have given to Personality Classifications like Myers-Briggs, Socionics, etc. I understand that he spoke of psychoanalysis as an incomplete and partially ignorant tool of understanding the mind. πŸ“–πŸ§‘β€πŸ€“πŸ“š[…]

There was a time, long back, when I read many of these things. Found all of them not only grossly inadequate and limited but also missing the core of human nature, the person behind the personality. It is very much like the story of blind men searching for the elephant in the room and drawing their own conclusions about what the elephant likely is.

If a person is elevating their consciousness and developing themselves into a new consciousness, what about those who have already attained Liberation (Mukti) and have become one with the Supreme Being? According to Sri Aurobindo’s yoga, what is their status? Will they also take on the new consciousness?βœ¨πŸ§˜πŸ•ŠοΈπŸŒ…

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state of Silence or Nirvana and then merging or losing all one’s individual truth that the….

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.πŸŒ§οΈπŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ’ŠπŸ« 

This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing wrong in taking them and bounce back on your feet in a few weeks at …
