Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

A sense of pride even if we know it’s wrong…A feeling of knowing things better than others, wanting to prove our knowledge. How to deal with this instinct? Should we stop discussions? Should I not talk to my friends because of this thing popping out everytime I talk to them? Some part of mine knows that I don’t know anything but when indulged into public.. while the self esteem is at stake, the pride pops up😏

Pride of course opens doors to downfall though at your age it is somewhat natural. Its remedy is to read books that open a very

I have committed a sin or betrayed Sri Aurobindo by staying silent and even nodding, just going along with the flow of the conversation, when my mother, out of ignorance, called him ‘takla’ after seeing his photo on the internet? She didn’t mean anything bad, but I feel very guilty that I couldn’t stand up for my guru, my lord, who has shown me so much grace. I feel I have failed him, and I am filled with shame.🫣

There is nothing to feel ashamed or guilty or inflict harsh words upon yourself. Most human beings do such things out of ignorance, sometimes even

Sir, you said in the initial part of video something like there are people who can’t keep up with pace of life and all throughout this video, I saw you blaming the depressed 😔person himself for his condition. Is it not the society’s fault for the fast pace? Do we need this pace? Do we not need to slow down? And also isn’t depression a crisis for evolution? I suffer from depression since a long time. I am always fatigued. But I am a fighter. But the pace is something I can’t handle. Also judgement of society? Why must society judge one on their standards? Isn’t society toxic in a lot of ways? I see depression as an evolutionary crisis. Could you share your thoughts on this?

I am not sure which video gave you this impression that one gets depressed because one is unable to keep pace with the Society! On

Praying, chanting to the Divine.. Still very dark for some. Hell to some of us is: Intense Pain – emotional, mental that becomes Physical, with no solution in sight – Just faith in the Divine that makes the person not wanting to kill oneself! With absolutely no support physical or emotional… Totally one their own. Is this a test? This is karmic we believe. But this absolute pain makes one fall and get into cravings for holding onto little faith. So one guru says, when someone is hungry and poor  give him food not philosophy!  Isn’t it the condition with people who are going through hell😈?

As to personal hell, of course the person does not need lecture. I am myself a psychiatrist and do not speak scriptures to those who

When we feel jealousy, angry about anyone, by remembering the words of mother “not to entertain these activities within urself” succeed in ceasing the action or manifestation & sexual impulse also in the same process. Though it lasts 1 min or half a min in our thoughts. Just diverting our minds, we succeeded in stopping these actions 🤔 (A stable/ cool form is established within our body system) [conti]

The question is deep and very much valid. Indeed the body remembers not only the memories it has had during the lifetime in a particular

There are some desires in us that are too strong. Even if we try and surrender those, something in us still clings to those desires and makes us anxious about them. Some part in us also has the knowledge that even if this desire is fulfilled, it will be transient and has no future, but the part that clings to the desire feels something like “Even if it gives me happiness for 1 second, I want it”😬[conti]

It is true for all of us. Almost all go through this process and the Divine Mother carries each through this treacherous terrain and sometimes

I have a question. I want to learn English. I can’t read or understand it and I am thinking of doing LLB. So, is it right to do LLB? And if I want to learn English, how can I learn it so that I can speak and understand it? And there is a lot of fighting at my home, so I will try to spend some time away from everyone so that there will be less fighting, and I can become something in life. It is also my father’s dream that I study and become something 😥[Conti]

I have a question. Suppose due to some circumstances I have to do some unproductive work and too busy in my schedule, of course, through my own karma I can surrender, but sometimes I realize that due to some reason I’m compelled to do work which are not necessary . But I want to read more and more Lord’s book but not …….Every time I’m not able to incline with Lord ……but my soul wants something beyond…..what to be done …would u answer please🙏?

Prayer and calling Her Name is of course the main stay for changing the curve of karma along which one is walking. Especially when the
