Dada, these days two different situations are developing within me. On one hand, sometimes worldly matters attract me, and sometimes they irritate me. But one thing I am experiencing is that if anyone uses a mobile phone nearby, it causes me great irritation and I feel like going somewhere quiet and alone. On the other hand, I start getting emotional about everything.🧘‍♂️⚖️🏔️✨

Seeing the condition of people, seeing the condition of the world, or the feeling of still not being able to give myself completely to my mother, it causes me great pain. In these 4-5 days, on one hand, I am feeling that I do not want anything that takes me away from my mother even for a moment. On the other hand, somewhere deep inside, my soul finds happiness in this and then I feel very restless. How do I understand this, Dada, and how do I deal with it now?

It is a stage through which every aspirant passes through. The old world begins to lose its shine though something is still attracted by force of habit. The remedy is to turn more and more towards the future. It is also an opportunity to practise equanimity and surrender as well as see the Divine in everyone and everything.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

My Mother has had a very tough life after marriage and she was tortured physically and mentally by her husband. She does not believe in Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

Play some soft soothing music around her. If she believes in any traditional or other aspect of the Divine it will be helpful to recite a mantra when near her or simply chanting Om while holding her hand.

The fits would of course need to be shown to a physician to find out any underlying cause and administer specific treatment. See if anything triggers these neck movements such as particular light or television near her….

Hello Sir. I met a person 2 years ago. We didn’t talk personally, yet there was some exchange of feelings in silence. I didn’t see him for more than 6 months and also don’t know anything about him. When mind was vexed, I saw the mother’s message that ‘Love the Divine alone’. 💗🌷[…]

What you experiencing is not love but a kind of obsession wherein the image of the person is coming to the mind again and again. Love is something different. It is the urge to give oneself, to care, to do something for the person. It is not want but giving that is the hallmark of love.

Thinking about someone or loving someone is not going against The Mother. The Mother does not want that we don’t love anyone. It is just that human love is based so much and so often on the ego that very soon it turns…

During my weekly Pilates reformer sessions, I have experienced intense episodes of deja vu and past-life intimations, where time and space seem to slide open. 🌌🙏🏻[…]

What you seemed to have is not so much a past life experience but rather an entry into another dimension of existence due to the intense exercise. It is another Time Space continuum you seem to have entered belonging to another plane of existence. It shows an innate ability for your consciousness to project out of the body and enter …
