World As It Is

I have some questions about the difficulties of human nature. We have been told that the gods dislike vices like pride, sloth, arrogance etc. However, if they know that it is difficult to get rid of them, then why do they still get angry when we display these vices (atleast in the stories)? Also why doesn’t Nature let us escape from these things so easily? I feel like humans are almost helplessly struggling against such things but still all the blame is put on us. I hope I’m wrong but sometimes I feel like that the cosmic deities don’t understand human strugglesđŸ˜„

I don’t think gods are portrayed as perfect beings or as a paragon of virtues in any theology. Their role is largely to keep the

Is India forever destined to brag about it’s spiritual heritage and not have the material industrial power cos I was reading Sri Aurobindo’s economic reports that were available in the volume early cultural writings and the industrial vision he had for the country and how a nation without flourishing manufactures is essentially servile. Although we made progress since independence it seems like we’re nowhere near what he’s envisioning for the nation. And we have the industrial mammoth China that is at our border and Pakistan which has nothing to lose planning together for a confrontation, how are we to face such dangersđŸ˜„?

We are mixing up several things here. Yes Indians are basking too much in the past glories but it is understandable given the long passage

As I’m a commerce student, when I read the subjects like economics, business development, and others that certainly focuses on how to grow businesses, but what I see largely is, the whole economy, the consumerism, utilitarian culture, the today’s business world is altogether in the hands of Asura, people are no way worried about the resources, they are just running for “growth”, and don’t know what’s the end point of this growth?đŸ€š[conti]

The wise man is right. You should study to know the deeper truth about commerce and economics, and when the time comes, place it at

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother often talk about the difficulties of the subconscient. Sri Aurobindo mentions in his talks that in 1930s when sadhaks were given the big push by Mother to change their nature to remove all vital or mental admixture to purify their subconscient, most of them dropped under the pressure. What push was this? Cultivation of satwa nature to purify their subconscient? It is said that the light of satwa is initially helpful to purify it.đŸ«€

The big push is not about Sattwa. They never seemed to attach too much importance to mental rules and regulations except for what is needed

Does the will of a person and his free choice depend totally on an individual or there are other forces,factors or circumstances  which influence his will and choice?Are the changes which are coming gradually  just because of people experiences of their past or something more than that which decides to bring a nation out of its darkness towards light? What are the important aspects of the Divine PlayđŸ€š?

If you ask in an absolute sense then of course there is no such free will operating independent of everything else. Always we are pushed

I often experience a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) when I’m not active on social media platforms like Instagram or when I think about deleting my accounts. It’s about missing out on what’s happening in other people’s lives, falling behind on the latest trends, conversations, or even useful content related to my interests like painting, health, and more. What if I feel disconnected without being on these platforms? Also, Why do these feelings arise, and how can I manage them in a healthier way without relying on social media for a sense of belonging or staying informedđŸ˜„?

July 6, 2025

These feelings arise from the collective suggestions that are floating around. The more one externalises through these means such as the social media provides, the

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 livesđŸ€”?

June 20, 2025

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. 

June 18, 2025

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 creatorđŸ€”?

June 18, 2025

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😳.

June 16, 2025

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 boisterousđŸ«€. I like doing everything quietly, [conti]
