Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

For some time now, I haven’t been feeling comfortable in my hostel — especially in my room. There’s a constant sense of heaviness and unease that I can’t fully explain. Whenever I’m in the room, I start feeling low and demotivated, as if my energy is being drained. Even on days when I try to focus or keep my mood stable, I end up feeling dull and disconnected.🛏️🏢🎒👥

The simplest way to protect oneself against all kinds of adverse and vital influences is to take The Mother’s Name and remember Her. Keep a

A little egoistic activity give painful the whole part of the being. The presence still there in the heart but the lower activity comes in large.

I want to get married now. I’m in my mid thirties already. But feel fear of either the boy and family being conservative or too party type and culture less. I don’t know now if I lost too much time – seeking spirituality and other things – I did’nt actively choose it – just happened. Will I find that person who gets / understands me. How do I attract the right person? Maybe who is healed and evolved. 🔍❤️🧭🗺️✨

I am not sure what you mean by seeking spirituality. Spiritual life is not about some practices of meditation etc or about intellectual philosophy. It

Since childhood, I have never really figured out my Swadharma. I picked up a career just like a rat race. I’m 32, but I don’t have a settled path. I keep fluctuating and never truly focused on learning or education. It breaks my heart that I didn’t learn in school or college in the true way. I studied just to clear exams, not to actually acquire knowledge 🧭🛣️🚶‍♂️🎯[…]

It is so with everybody. Even those who come consciously for a specific work take time before the future horizons become fully clear. What we

Alokda, its been 1.5 year since my dadi whom I was extremely close with passed away. After a very long time she came in my dream – called for me by my name and for some reason out of all in the house only I heard her and attend to her. She has a headache and I look after her and take her to the hospital for treatment- and after treatment she is fine but I dont remember seeing her fine but I get this deep feeling she is and I thank The Mother with all the love for looking after her. Later in morning as I woke up, did my routine but I woke up with a headache. Can you help me understand Alok Da?🕯️🕊️🥀🦋

In all likelihood something of her came in contact with you to rest for a few moments before the dissolution of the last remnants of

How do we control overthinking? I mean, we try to reason with ourselves — telling ourselves, “Hey, these things happen; everything is fine. Such situations come and go; that’s just life — it has its ups and downs, and eventually, things will get better.” Yet, despite understanding all of this, our mind simply refuses to accept it and continue to overthink. So, what exactly can we do about that?🤯🌀🌫️🫠

It happens because the mind turns in a narrow grove. To widen the grove one needs to broaden one’s interests and activities as well as

My question is how to deal with countless past mistakes that we can not correct, but that cause frustration and hopelessness in life. Many present conditions are due to the consequences of past deeds. How do we deal with this? There is always the thought that things would be different if I had acted in a different way.🫨💥⏳🙄

‘Mistakes and errors’ are part of the evolutionary process and common to everyone. In the eyes of the Divine they are not mistakes but steps

I have been not well for most of the year of 2025. I chose not to get the back surgery, but now, I started hearing my own heartbeat in specially my left ear. ENT didn’t find much fluid in my ear so ordered CT Scan. I have 12 mm brain aneurism on the left side and need a brain surgery. Last year I kept joking that I am burning my past karma, but why am I not getting any brake? Now a brain surgery?🧠🧑‍⚕️🩺💊

One either lives with faith or else enters the medical grove which acts according to its present scientific understanding. To live with faith is to

I was looking up for the Mother’s knowledge on mistakes and came across this one: “It is quite wrong to go on brooding about the past. The true attitude is to remember that nothing happens but by God’s will and to submit to that will quietly. If you have made mistakes in the past it is by lack of true surrender and the only way to repair the mistakes is to surrender truly.” How can I know if it is a mistake or God’s will? What is the internal compass for reference? How can I know for what I should take ownership vs surrender?🤦💥😬🙈

Mistakes are a language of ignorance that makes the ego-self feel that it is the doer and hence responsible for all that happens. As long
