Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

What is the step-by-step method to pray to Mother Mirra or Sri Aurobindo? And which book would help? I am exhausted from trying everything—rituals, astrology, meditation, and mantra sadhana. Nothing works, and I have almost run out of money; at 26, I am completely dependent on my parents. Every month brings some ailment—migraines, asthma, or stomach pain. I’ve gone half-mad from taking so much medication. I see no path forward—no idea whom to turn to or whom to accept as a guru. If Mother helps others, why isn’t She helping me? How do I open myself to Her? I have literally no money or friends; my phone and my parents are my only companions. All I have are books by Sri Aurobindo, Mother Mirra, and other spiritual gurus. I even fight with my mother at home, though she cares about me; she has her own health issues. My father suffers from depression and doesn’t go to work, so 80% of his salary gets cut. I haven’t been able to study at all this year; even when I do try, I can’t retain the concepts. What should I do? I have to go to Bangalore again on September 11th. I’ve tried everything—meditation, mantra sadhana, astrology, rituals, and books—but I have no energy left now, nor any faith or hope. Please tell me what to do. Everyone kept telling me to read this book or that, read the Gita, try astrology, or practice meditation—but nothing has changed. After all this, I am in the exact same place I was 7 or 10 years ago. It is a bleak existence—the same patterns, constant suicidal thoughts, nightmares, and extreme loneliness. I cannot go on living alone like this anymore.

What is real happiness, and where do Sri Aurobindo and The Mother truly want to lead us through Integral Yoga? I struggle to understand why dishonest, unspiritual people often thrive effortlessly with wealth, fame, and societal respect, while an honest devotee is consumed by domestic conflicts, illness, self-doubt, and constant hardship. 🧭💛[…]

First of all this is an overgeneralised statement. Most alcoholics and people who are engaged in crime are not happy. They are in great distress

(1) I’m a 29-year-old, unmarried girl. I work with my father in his office. But I am not a totally financially independent person. My father always tells me to take responsibility. I want to do that and become financially independent, but whenever I mention going to another place for a job, my parents deny and they say, “This is your age for marriage and what will society think if you go out?” 🌱🧭 […]

I wanted to discuss something that has been happening to me quite frequently, especially while I am studying or sometimes when I am doing other normal activities. At times, I suddenly get into a strange state where I start questioning very basic things, such as: “Who am I?”, “What exactly am I doing?”, or “Who are these people around me, including my family members?”🌿🔍 […]

These feelings can arise sometimes during stress as a way of dissociating from the outer situations. However one can make use of them by going
