Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

There’s a contradiction going on inside me. Sometimes I have intense devotion for Sri Aurobindo and sometimes for The Mother. I chant the name of the one who comes to mind. The Lord says, “Open up to the Mother, surrender everything to her.” But what should I do when I feel devotion for the Lord? They are the same, but I don’t experience this, so it’s difficult to see one.☀️🪷🌸💎

Both are one. When you have love and devotion for Sri Aurobindo it automatically goes to the Mother and when you pray to the Mother

In every ashram there is one specific daily sadhana  and initiation given to the devotess. Which helps in spiritual progress and healing the body through yogic sadhanas and improving concentration.

In Savitri, Aswapati had to travel many subtle worlds before reaching at the summit. I just want to know whether the person doing the sadhana must have to undertake the same journey during life time as well as after the physical body is discarded. Will the psychic being have to undergo the same route after death, even if a part is already covered during life time or skip those already covered?🌅☀️🔥🕊️

The journey of Aswapati is a very special journey taken consciously by him as the pathfinder and the pathmaker for the New Creation. It is

When I read anand brahma Chapter of Synthesis of yoga then I found that I have experiencing these same thing much before. When I meditate or aspire or in the state of self giving then I find these two source where I feel peace, beauty, thril, wideness and anand. In different way such doubt in mother sri aurobindo which was very painful moment for me, ego, excessive ambition and sexuality etc. Now their impact is much less than before. When i take prayers and meditation books and randomly open the page i find “oh lord, you want i become your selfless worker than a meditative person”, “oh lord, don’t attach with your inner presence, make me a hero warrior so that i can surrender to you all parts of my being so that your complete manifestation will be possible”🧘☀️🪷📖

Your experience clearly indicate that you are quite well on the path. The lower nature is never easy to conquer in anyone. Even the strongest

Ever since returning home, it feels as though my time is simply being wasted. I find myself entangled in various matters and feel trapped. Although the remembrance of Mother persists deep within me, I am unable to serve her directly; consequently, it pains me to see how time is slipping away, and I have no idea how long I will remain entangled in all of this. Living this kind of life as a householder is becoming increasingly difficult. Dada, how will I be able to endure in this environment for the long term?🏠🛋️🛤️

That is why I had sent you to the Delhi Ashram but I understand the difficulty of the ties at home. Best would be for

Many times in life we are at a crossroad where we need to take some important decisions in our life, and at that point we ask The Mother to guide us. In what way the guidance comes and how can we recognize it without mistaking something as a guidance which may not be coming from The Mother? How can we know what the Divine wants for us i.e. knowing the Divine will?🤔🧩🎲🛣️

The condition for receiving the Guidance without mixture from our preferences, opinions and hidden desires is inner Peace. It is only when the noise of

In Savitri, page 1, line 9 (“A fathomless zero occupied the world”), does the term “world” refer to the Earth as we know it, or to the entire universe? The ideas of the first creation (involution), the second creation (the beginning of evolution), and the third creation (supramental action in evolution)—are these concepts related specifically to the Earth, or do they apply to the entire universe?☀️🪷🌏🌌

The fathomless zero that occupied the world here refers to the earth that is wheeling as if abandoned after one of the pralayas. It is

Alok da in The Mother with Letters on The Mother, under the chapter: Opening and Surrender to the Mother, and the sub paragraph: Real and Complete Surrender: Sri Aurobindo while speaking of progress in Sadhna through sincere, real and complete submission and surrender says, “It cannot be as long as you cherish vital attachment to family, child or anything or anybody else. If you are to do this Yoga, you must have only one desire and aspiration to receive the spiritual Truth and manifest it in all your thoughts, feelings, actions and nature. Isn’t it quite an impossible condition to begin with? 🤲🌸🙇🕊️

Giving up vital attachment is not such a big thing as we believe. All who seek for a higher ideal do that, let alone spiritual

Since my childhood through my Father I have been connected to Mother. I come to Pondicherry for Mother’s birthday for darshan day. Like you said I feel as if I am with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother very closely. After reading so many of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s book and putting into practice I still want more. Please elaborate whether we can feel the opening up or how and what is it one does in life to widen the opening?🪷🌌🌧️🌹

Opening comes through thinking of The Mother, remembering Her inwardly, reading Their books, serving Them, concentrating upon the Mother’s Presence in the heart, calling …
