AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

World As It Is

Some people identify as atheists — they don’t believe in God or any higher power, yet they strongly believe in the value of hard work, discipline, and ethical living. They focus on doing their work and trust that consistent effort will eventually bring good results, more and more money. Interestingly, such individuals tend to be quite successful in life outwardly. What are your thoughts in this? What is the fundamental difference in the way a theist and an atheist live their lives🤔?

Success comes wherever there is sincerity and effort. It has nothing to do with our inner or outer beliefs. I have seen genuine, sincere workers,

Can you share your views and ideas which led to the aircraft disaster in Ahmedabad. Can it be viewed beyond human, technical error in a higher plane above human hands. If so how best these accidents can be avoided? What is the way a spiritual seeker or a true devotee or a true believer in Divine should feel and act by witnessing the most grieved families of the deceased. If possible you can give a video talk to this respect. 

I will surely give a talk on this. But meanwhile it is not the result of a human technical error. It is the result of

The desire for wealth (to enjoy the luxuries of life), power and sex appear to be the driving forces in human beings. Without these desires there would be no activity. Is it not true that life cannot be imagined without these desires. Can you help me understand why then we are told to get rid of these desires that seem so natural and should be created with purpose by the creator🤔?

Life without desires is not only imaginable but also the most wonderful life one can conceive of, it is a life of peace and freedom

Why is it that only when something tragic happens, like the Ahmedabad tragedy, people start sharing emotional posts saying things like ‘Life is so, so unpredictable,’ ‘We always think we have time, but the truth is, we don’t,’ or ‘Hug the people you love like it’s the last moment you’re spending with them’? What are your thoughts on such posts circulate during tragedies😳.

This shows that we are still too crude and largely live on the surfaces. We need strong outer events to wake up to the world-pain

What is swabhava and swadharma? I didn’t have goals to become a doctor or engineer etc. I wanted to do well whatever it is that I did for work. I don’t like telling people what to do, not interested in attention, but having the space to do my best. I am not a high planning-oriented person, I try to do what I truly want to do. But, all these become an issue in the society, where people are expected to be very driven, especially in work. My vision naturally arises after one phase of life is over and then I get to slid into the next one, but it is smooth and organic. I also don’t like to be around very dominating people, I have an inward turn of nature in general and not boisterous🫤. I like doing everything quietly, [conti]

You are ahead of your times or rather while the people are running on the old beaten tracks that lead us nowhere except in unending

Alok da, you’ve been optimistic about not there being another nuclear scale war but on a podcast you said there might be a nuclear war around the time of 2050 or something like and that humans itch to use them, what caused the change in view and what are the challenges India has to face in such a war🫨? and also in a response you’ve said the fossil fuel resources might exhaust ,all of our modern housing, electricity, food, clothing to transport everything depends on them, so will we go back to pre modern huts? How is supermind going to navigate all this?

A limited nuclear war is quite likely. It is about the Third World War about which i said would not happen.

Alok da, if the Bharat will be united and come to its earlier form, then I think, the population may show an another picture, where perhaps, the population of muslims will be greater than Sanatanis. And if they as always try to dominate the Sanatanis using their capacity of terrorism, then, will it be possible for Bharat to become the Spiritual Heart of the Earth ? Or it will be now a long process

The danger is there but we cannot solve it by becoming like them and start producing like rabbits and dogs. That will enfeeble the race

Why isn’t The love and daring of seafaring that you see in European history and culture right from the homer’s epic of odyssey to Vasco De Gama to the British mastery of the ocean in creating a world empire isn’t anywhere nearly as visible as it is in Indian culture except for chola expeditions? They went so far as to even ban sea travel in medieval ages and seafaring fishing communities are often placed very low in the social order from Gujarat to Kerala. Like Sri Aurobindo said regarding the village republics on how irrespective of the march of empires in the country they were undisturbed and hibernating in their own villages for centuries without any curiousity. As I understand it too much obsession with the order and not embracing love of chaotic flow of oceans and it’s unknown vasts as it is visible in European naval history and literature is an inevitable evolutionary decline in spirit. I was a bit disappointed recently knowing that when European merchants reached in medieval times Japan the Japanese were very curious and quick to enquire about their map making and cartographic equipment while none such Indian records exist,there are many foreigner traveller records of them coming to India and writing the records of their observations of India while there’s no Indian who went to foreign lands and wrote such observations and records cos the foreign lands are inhabited by mlecchas and it makes you impure entering them. What explains such close mindedness, Is this what Sri Aurobindo meant by decline in thought power that happened🤔?

The India you are comparing with the modern European is the India of the dark ages. But even till the last few centuries, Indians also
