I have been scolded and banned from using headphones in wards , which I used to listen to your videos or Mother's music in free time. I keep feeling that I should just leave this pg seat and join Sri Aurobindo Ashram I know life won't be easy n chill anywhere if I am not peaceful within but at least in Ashram I would be able to remember Maa all the time and wouldn't have so many restrictions. Any advice on this how to deal with such situation??🤯🌀🌫️

She is everything to me and I can’t feel her presence anymore. It’s not that I don’t feel joy in doing this residency i do I have amazing co-jrs , but I feel like all this is taking me away from Her.

Do not leave the work you are doing. It is She who has given this work to you to prepare you for the future. Instead of using headphones that attract such scoldings, just remember Her in your heart and use hands free blue tooth if you wish to listen. Do it when people are not around and work is of a routine nature. This is just a passing phase. Go through it with faith and equanimity and complete trust in Her Grace while keeping the aspiration silently growing within.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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
