World As It Is

What is GodšŸ˜‡?

To the yogis and mystics – God is to be known by experience. Several yogis have experienced God through the Ages and have invariably described

Its a philosophical question but I often why did the creator create this world? Why did the creator become inconscient, became nature and now following the path of evolving towards itself? Is it for release of Ananda? As a life experience, we feel joyous when we progress. Similarly when the inconscient is growing towards becoming fully conscious, Ananda is released. Is that so?

These are different ways of saying the same thing. By entering a state of complete oblivion and then releasing it gradually through a complex evolutionary

I have never really had any doubts earlier, so I am very shocked at myself. I grew up with a very strong christian education at school and all that was fed into me was christian ideology of God and heaven and hell from early teenage years. This never really hindered my journey with Mother and Sri aurobindo and I found christian ideas quite a crude way of seeing God. But now suddenly I am having doubts about them which a part of me knows is stupid but another part of me clings onto this doubt and fear. Its like a constant voice in the background saying the real God is the christian God and is bringing fear of hell. I feel really guilty because its come to the point of doubting them whom I love the most. When I try to get rid of the doubt by reasoning or surrender with it it just goes back to the christian idea that God is the only real God and anything else that says its God is false and is trying to take you away from the truth and you will be sent to hell if you don’t follow the correct God. No sort of reasoning can make it go away and surrender of it is difficult because its affecting my faith. What should I do😪?

Regarding your question about which is the better path between Christianity and Hinduism. The question arises because of the strong formation that emanates from the

As we open Facebook and Whatsapp of various groups to which we are tied or are at times forcibly included because of past associations, there are postings against activities of other religious groups, which are depicted as anti national😔 or against our religion. We know that age of religion is over. But we also don’t like which go against our cultural heritage or say philistine in nature. What should be our attitude to or reactions to all such postings?

It is for each one to decide. One can try to understand if there is a truth in what is said. Or one can choose

Why alcohol is connected to freedom? These days, just to prove a point people, specially women too have started drinking in the name of freedom 😔 but isn’t real freedom not needing a drink to be happy ? Isn’t real freedom that I don’t need a drink to forget my problems because like an adult one has solved them or faced them ?Ā 

Yes the sign of an adult is that one faces the challenge, tries to understand the real problem and finds healthy ways of dealing with

What is true freedom ? Can you explain it’s difference from the western concept of doing whatever you want in the name of freedomšŸ˜. Example parents not taking care of their children and the same children not taking care of them, people breaking marriages or not committing in the name of freedom, children getting confused about their gender which is a biological aspect in the name of freedom, people abusing their self with alcohol and drugs in the name of freedom. Is this really freedom?Ā 

Freedom essentially means the freedom to make choices. However this does not mean that there will be no consequences of our choice. Each and every

My room mate and I were talking today😟.His points are:(1) Modiji is worst.(2)He don’t support even congress.(3) He comes from Aadivasi background, and he looks at everything from the POV of the oppression done on backward classes, and even today whatever is happening, only rich are getting rich, and wealth is horded by one section of the society largely.(4) The police force kills and attacks the innocent tribals, in the name of terrorists.(5)Both BJP and Congress has done nothing to help tribals, and only Communists like CPIL,CPL, and other Student unions like AISA, SFI of JNU, only they have stood up for the backward communities.(6) Dharma has no meaning for him, bhookha vyakti adhyatm ka kya karega, isliye he supports communism. Now I don’t argue with him, I listen everything he says very carefully and peacefully with equanimity. I just want you to throw light on this.

Actually this is the propaganda of the Communists to lure young people. But it is not supported by facts. It is likely that excesses are

One resident doctor has being raped and killed in Kolkata. Sorry to ask this but than why such incidents happen and how to not get affected by listening this. Daily we hear some or the other news like this. Now is there karma behind it? Or interia? Or unconsciousness? Why that freedom has being given to such forces that leads to these kind of events? Like this to who is safe, in this universe?

Regarding the cruel incident you mention, isn’t it strange (and painful) that we think of something other than ourselves only when such extreme things happen?

In your book the Veda of the Body – you have touched upon creation. I’m sure Sri Aurobindo would have answered this in great detail, but I’m going to ask anyway. It’s a big question. But when God manifested himself through creation, creation lost elements of its divine consciousness. But if the yoga aims to reunite with our origin, what was the purpose of separation in the first place ? Why come away from the origin if anyway we are going to return? And even if creation was to separate and reach a higher origin, that too doesn’t make sense to me because why would the Almighty need 7 pralayaas to progress – surely he can do that without the need for this much ?

It a genuine question that any sensitive and awakened mind aught to ask especially when one looks at the many imperfections such as suffering and
