Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

Hello Dada.. I am in lot of emotional distress and just nothing feels right. I don’t know how to put it in word at some point I feel terrible about myself and at the same time not able to hold it anymore. Things have paradoxically changed.

I have been living away from home for almost 9 years for my studies, and currently study in a foreign country. I usually don’t get much lonely and even if I, I get comfortable on remembering the Mother. But for sometime, I am getting too emotional on festivals such as today, which usually results in a fever and impacts my work. How should I deal with it?πŸ‘πŸ“πŸ₯ΊπŸ§Έβ˜•

It is most likely the result of home-sickness arising out of loneliness. Certain circumstances and situations are typically associated in the mind with home or

I have recently started my residency in MS opthalmology. My schedule runs from 7am to 11pm with two 36 hours shifts each week. Throughout the day I am constantly surrounded by seniors and immersed in work and we are not allowed to leave the wards during working hours. I get no time for meditation or reading books of Maa and Sri Aurobindo or even some time to sit in silence. How to do this Sadhana through work when hospital feels like a jail and certain seniors like jailors?πŸ§˜πŸ•―οΈπŸ“ΏπŸ“–

I completely understand having gone through it in my own way. What you should do is to first change the motive of your studies. Take

Da I ​​am not able to understand anything, I am feeling blank, I want to say a lot. I want to mail you in detail, I want to say everything but I am not able to write. I feel like coming face to face and saying it but right now that is not possible. I am feeling a lot of pain, I feel like leaving everything and going away, I am tired.

“All depends on what you want. If you want Yoga, take all that happens as the expression of the Divine Grace leading you towards your goal, and try to understand the lesson that circumstances give.” (The Mother) My question – is it fine, if while trying to ‘understand the lesson’, we make mistakes? I mean to ask, if we misinterpret the lesson, will the Divine take care of it?βœ¨πŸ›‘οΈπŸ’–πŸŒΉ

To the Divine Consciousness there are no mistakes. Human beings go through the experiences, pleasant and painful due to the Ignorance in which they live.

My sister’s friend who is just 35 years old passed away a week back in cardiac arrest . Whole family is in shock. She was healthy with no record of physical issues. She is a very soft, helpful and good soul. She has an 8 year old son whom she was very attached to and the child was also very attached to her. She was the only one who wholly was taking care of that child without husband involvement. Why did her soul choose to leave so early even though she had the desire to take of her son and attachment to live ? How is this justifiable to that small kid from a spiritual point of view?πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ€πŸ₯€πŸ’”

Justifiable to whom? The soul of the child might want to go through certain experiences. The soul of the mother, as is most likely in

Β I have noticed that when I chant ‘Mother Mother Mother Mother’, a form of anxiety arises in me, like a great tension and a more serious Divine Force. But when I chant ‘Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa’, I feel calmer and more centred. Is this something similar to what is described in the Bhagavad Gita in chapter 11, when Arjuna sees Sri Krishna in the Supreme Universal Form, vs Sri Krishna normally seen by Arjuna in a friendly, loving manner.πŸ«¨πŸŒ€πŸ˜°πŸŒΉ

Each one has a personal way of connecting. But Maa is certainly better, easier, even phonetically simpler. Mother reminds of someone or something superior with

How can one break free from the cycle of people-pleasing, emotional blackmail, and the paralyzing fear of hurting others, especially when burdened by family trauma, financial instability, and the loss of a father, while learning to set boundaries and find inner peace without succumbing to depression or isolation? πŸš«πŸ™…πŸ›‘πŸ πŸ’”πŸ™πŸ»βœ¨

I understand that all this has led to a certain degree of suppression and hesitation in your life. What you need is a mentor whom
