Dada my only one younger brother (aunt's son) who is only 11 year now died due to encephalitis and everyone in home crying and very sad environment. Dada why this type of death occurs when the child is not know anything about life? Does his soul come here to experience something and then leave the body or any other reason related with this? 🕯️🕊️🤍⚱️

there I also feel very sad and very close to him but I’m in hostel, warden is not allowing me to go there and I want to know whether I go there or not because seeing all of them and their emotional crying I can’t control myself. Instead of going home I want to go to Ashram relics centre for prayer so which is best for this situation. I’m very confused……

Yes it is best not to go but quietly pray for his soul’s further journey and progress. Feeling sad is understandable reaction due to attachment that develops naturally and wants the joy of particular relationships in certain ways. But love grants freedom to each one to progress in their own way.

Yes in the process of evolution the soul takes all kinds of experiences including a brief stay in earthly life. There are other causes as well such as the need of the soul to develop in certain ways other than what the present circumstances can provide.

Affectionately,

But since one cannot harm or hurt the Divine Beings, it falls back upon oneself creating a terrible karma. By all means desist it. It is the straight road to fall…

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. 🌱🙏🏻[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman 📖🌟🙏🏻 […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, and the union has a threefold character. There is a union in spiritual essence, by identity; there is a union by the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
