Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

Whenever possible can you tell me as what was the story behind the universe to which Mother said that it’s a long story to tell. And which were the intermediaries that intervened and slowed the process….Can you tell the story behind the universe Mother to which Mother said that is a long story to tell and which were the intermediaries that slowed down the process🤨

When the Divine Mother willed to create, She brought out different aspects from the One Divine and distributed Her Knowledge and Power to each one

I know there are more direct inner paths that lead to the Divine Mother than ritualistic worship and ceremonial acts—but these are only possible through complete surrender and devotion. In today’s age, when people are steeped in ignorance, ego, and desire, how many can realistically walk such a path😳? Until such individuals awaken full faith and surrender, what should they do to escape their suffering? Many of their problems and afflictions are beyond human effort to resolve. Here, the scriptures guide us. From the study of various authentic texts, it appears that the Daughter of the Mountain—fully aware of the soul’s inability to perceive its subtle nature—took form in various manifestations for the welfare of the three worlds and to liberate the Earth from the weight of sin. This is the firm belief of those who tread the path of spiritual discipline under the protection and guidance of sacred scripture. [conti]

I am not saying something that has been said for the first time. Even Sri Krishna says so. In my experience any devotee, even with

Sri Aurobindo has given commentaries on only a few Upanishads and his insights are much profound and significant compared to any of the traditional commentaries. What about understanding the other main Upanishads? Is it advisable to take help from other commentaries or better rely on Sri Aurobindo’s translations and leave it at that🤨?

Fortunately the two most important Upanishads has been covered by him in great detail. The most important is of course the Isha and the other

I have been reading the Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo and getting very inspired by his references to the old European civilisations. I am at a cross-road where I have to choose a field of study. Society, parents tell me I should choose something practical — finance, economics, business? But I have set my mind on going into Ancient history. I want to do it because of the knowledge alone. I have been criticised for it because I may be taking an unsafe road. All this feedback from others makes me doubt myself. I sometimes feel like I am being irresponsible, and sometimes that is why I no longer want to open up to people due to these social pressures. I have no way of knowing the future, what is has in store for me. Is education for the sake of knowledge itself dead? Is servile education really the spirit of this age🤔?

There is a reason why the future is hidden from us. It is so that instead of making a choice based on outer gains and

On training the will power. Mother says that will power is trained by using it. I am a very systematic person and would like to take a systematic approach to everything I do. I try to become conscious of myself and apply my will whenever possible but the trouble is that it takes a long time to become conscious of what needs to be done. Can you give some general guidelines on how one can take a systematic approach to this training of the will? Something in me has a deep necessity of developing this will, all I need is the right approach where I can measure the results and see the progress in a tangible form. If you can be very specific, it would be really helpful🤨

It is desires and impatience that weaken the will, especially the sense of urgency to gratify an impulse.

By not acting impulsively, by postponing

Actually I get conflicted. Sometimes I’m thinking of Krishna 🦚and talking to him and sometimes to mother. Now that I’m remembering Mother more and more. I feel like I’m moving away from Krishna. How do I overcome this puzzling situation. When I sit to meditate I get confused about whom to imagine. So I end up with both of them together. Is it fine or I’m too much stuck in ignorance and all. I keep a small Krishna in my pocket always and talk sometimes and you told me before to take Krishna everywhere with me like a living being and I forget to buy when I remember sometimes I think of him in my chest like he is watching from there and talk to him. I’m definitely not fully sincere, I feel like I’m making simple stuff more difficult and getting stuck in mental thoughts. What can I do Da?

The conflict is coming due to too much focus on the outer form. But there is no reason to be conflicted. Sri Krishna and the
