Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

Dada now I experience that when I open to the mother and Sri Aurobindo I feel the difficulties in lower part but when spontaneously my thought turns to Sri Krishna all the obstacles of lower nature vanishes and I feel peace. Why this is happening? Due to this unknowing difficulties I am not able to turn The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. When I think about Sri Aurobindo I feel causeless doubt, depression, no aspiration and bhakti towards mother and Sri Aurobindo. What should I do😥?

It is definitely the play of the mind making you feel like this. The only truth, if at all, could be that turning towards Sri

Last night, I read a page of ‘Savitri’ before going to sleep. Whenever I read something from ‘Savitri,’ it feels like something is descending within me. It’s like a kind of intoxication that comes with peace.

Besides this, it has happened two or three times that the name ‘Radha’ starts within me at night. Could there be some deep truth to all this🤨?

And Swami Vivekananda was a Rudra vibhuti who did Tapasya and realized the truth within, so his spiritual power and impact must be greater than Muhammad or even Shivaji or Augustus. And I don’t even need to mention Sri Aurobindo and the Mother themselves as the Supreme Avatars. And there were countless enlightened sages unleashed into India in the last century like the Heavens had broke loose😐.

First about the facts. Sri Aurobindo did not speak of Sri Ramkrishna as an Avatar in the sense of the Gita. In fact Sri Ramakrishna

Can you please expand on how to raise beyond individuality and ego? Sri Aurobindo has written “When we have passed beyond individuality then we shall be the real persons. Ego was the helper; Ego is the bar” Mother expanded on this in Nov 1956 – her response was upto the point of how one can know that one is conscious and that to become a spiritual being one should give all that up but doesn’t expand on how or what it means to do it. (Can you please expand on what/how to do, apart from surrendering and aspiring for help and cultivating a strong will and strong body and offering it to Mother🤔?)

es the way is a conscious surrender of one’s individuality with an aspiration. The nature of the aspiration then determines what way this individuality will
