AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I can’t quit smoking please help me 🚫🚬🚭🫁

There are two ways of doing it. The better way is to forcibly stay in some place where smoking is not allowed or drop it suddenly and completely. There will be a bit of craving and agitation. Manage it by remaining very busy and playing some game or exercise. If the urge grows strong put a chewing gum or a toffee. There are also nicotine patch but that needs to be given by the physician. 

The second way is to wean off two every 3 or 4 days until it is reduced to 2 to 3 a day. Then do it suddenly.

Either ways, pray to the Divine Mother and seek her help. Deep relaxation and the practice of Asanas and Shavasana, chanting of Pranava mantra (Omkar) also helps. Most important is to stay busy and do exercises. 

Affectionately,

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.

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….

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 …
