AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

My entire life so far has been filled with countless challenges. If I look back at my whole life, I can’t remember anything but challenges, whether they were related to relationships, health, society, yoga, or work. But now it seems that Mother has prepared these paths through these challenges, and I consider this to be Mother’s grace. If there hadn’t been so many difficulties, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so much grace either. If Mother’s grace remains and your love as an elder brother continues, then all this will happen, won’t it?🧗⛰️🌪️🌵

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo are always with all true and sincere movements. They stand for Truth and not social conventions. They stand for human

In most of your videos you have mentioned like when in deep deep problem we need to call The Mother’s grace. But to most of us we are not aware of how to do it? We some times end up taking help from friends and spouse and talking with them to solve it.. But Now I’m like struck in the this phase where I’m like not able to implement others help nor in the state to call the Mother’s grace with full sincerity. It’s like so much fear and doubt around like sleeping next to white demon (Like I kind of felt in my dreams). I’m trying to call for her grace and probably feel I’m calling for selfish reason’s and feel guilty about it and stop… Some times I feel mother has put me in this situation, and I just don’t know what to do how to come out?🪷✨👐🌸

The Divine sometimes gives us what we desire so that we may learn from it. However very often things come to us from concealed desires.

At the beginning of yoga, the impurities within each person come out and life becomes chaotic. I request you to tell me what problems and difficulties arise in the person’s life due to this. If a person has latent  anger within  him but does not express it, but due to practicing yoga, they start expressing  it on people, is it possible for this to happen? How should this situation be dealt with and should be done to avoid suffering and problems when the impurities come out at the beginning of yoga? Is chanting the names of hare Krishna and hare Rama yoga?🧗🌀🏜️ 🔗

Yes it can and does usually happen that the impurities kept under cover as a result of the pressure of the Yoga. They have to

Mother has told that desire is more contagious than an illness.How does one protect oneself against this contagion of desire especially if we are required to work in settings where one has to constantly mingle with people and places where desires are rife such as corporate? If someone next to you has a desire, it enters you.🤤🦠😷❤️‍🔥

This is a real difficulty, especially in the typical work setup that is centered around the satisfaction of desire. The best way is to stay

In the message you had mentioned about temperament and discovering own goals, could you please explain how can I identify my temperament? I have been trying to figure out -what is it that I have the aptitude for? In the quest, I got an advanced degree and pursued a career in research -it was a decent stint but I don’t think I was cut out for it. I still haven’t quite figured what I am good at or what best suits my personality? Can you please throw some light on temperament and discovering goals.⚖️💧🌡️⚡

To get to the temperament one has not to think in terms of job, career, – that comes later. One has to step back in

We read often words by realised being like the Buddha or Swami Vivekananda that ‘We are what our minds make us, we are what our thoughts shape us.’ To change yourself and your destiny’, they say ‘change your mind and your view of life itself changes.’ Is it true that mind is all? What about vital being, the real creator of storms and the real misleader in life?🧠🤔💭🧘

Yes, quite so. The realised beings have gone beyond the sphere of suffering where good and evil, positive and negative are locked in a struggle
