When’s the divine realization will be permanently settled? Spontaneously it comes and going their. When I loose the contact I have not feel any happy. I feel that i am losing my precious things. After lose this contact difficulties comes again in a huge way but something is inside that doesn’t affected by the difficulties. Spontaneously outer conscious running in my mind and in silence spontaneously naam jaap going with the respiration🤔.

Have patience and trust in the Grace. What you are having are some experiences on the way. The Divine realisation is a far off thing.

Also you said-“These are man’s beginnings. He rises by the descent of ever higher types of Manu from the Bhuvarloka,—first he is Pashu, then Pishacha, then Pramatha, then Rakshasa, then Asura, then Deva, then Siddha. So he ascends the ladder of his own being towards the Sat Purusha.’ Are these the 7 levels through which the soul evolves? Does everyone has to ascend through this ladder one by one or there can be a leap possible🤔? Please elaborate.

This ascension through successive lives from one grade to another was the idea behind Chaturvarnya, the fourfold soul types, soul involved in Matter (Shudra), soul

When one prays to Hindu gods like Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesh, Gauri, Krishna, Hanuman, Durga, Tripurasundari or Kali etc., one is invoking the divine forces operating in lower – earth nature. Is it correct? I read somewhere that the the Para Prakriti is beyond human understanding and hence our sages have found her various nurturing aspects at work in Earth Nature, to whom we can approach for help and guidance🙏.

The gods and goddesses are cosmic powers and hence they are neither confined to India nor belong to the Hindus. They had other names in

For 2-3 days now during meditation I am getting glimpses of Gauri sitting in snowy mountain conditions with Shiva and their both sons (specially of Ganesha having more clear image) sending her blessings of auspiciousness. In this background please let me know your views on the significance of mount Kailash as the abode of Shiva and Shakti in our religion. I always wonder how a place on earth plane could be a home to the divine family🤨.

Gauri is the Divine Mother who has become this earth nature. Shiva is the Lord of tapasya who helps her to rise to the highest

Sri Aurobindo has written-“…Whenever he chooses to take the full pleasure of ignorance, of the dualities, of strife and wrath and tears and weakness and selfishness, the tamasic and rajasic pleasures, of the play of the Kali in short, he dims the knowledge in India and puts her down into weakness and degradation so that she may retire into herself and not interfere with this movement of his Lila…”I am not able to understand these lines. How can Divine do this only for his Lila🤔? Please elaborate.

Lila means the Divine unfolding in creation. This unfolding sometimes requires the veiling of the Light just as some plants need shade and others brightness

Now the question is, as a person dies, apart from the psychic being, what other things are carried to the next life and who carries them? The body  is not there, the psychic being goes to the psychic world. The vital goes to the vital world. The mental part goes to the mental world.  So, it is only the psychic that proceeds to the next birth. Then, while going to take the next birth, does the psychic collect certain elements from the vital and mental world? If yes,  how can it find its corresponding vital and mental which it had in the previous birth🤔?

The psychic being, as it evolves, develops an individual psychic personality around its core which of course is the divine spark within it. This psychic
