But according to my understanding from Sri Aurobindo’s writings, Jivatma is the Vigyanamaya Purusha whose abode is Supermind. But since non of the realizations from Old Yogas had reached the Supramental Consciousness, then how we can say that they have realized the Jivatman which is also the goal of Vedantic realization🤔?

The origin of Jivatman is in the Supermind but a portion of it descends in the adventure of Time and Space as the psychic essence or the individual soul. It is like the Sun and its rays. The ray owes its origin in the sun. But to fulfil its destiny it travels far wandering through the universe. However far it may wander, it is always connected with the sun. The Jivatman that is realised by certain Yogis is the ray that has wandered upon the earth. It becomes the door to reach the Paramatama, that is the Sun..But before reaching the Supermind it comes across dazzling belts of Light, the Overmind, and mistakes it for the Sun itself.

I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good. But I have to deal with a medical system here in Switzerland that on one hand is very excellent but on the other is often working with “worst case” scenarios causing fear and anxiety in me. (Sometimes I ask myself whether the hostile forces can also use doctors…) Anyway, I often feel the obligation to decide something, whether to follow the doctor’s advice or go my own way. This is very difficult. How can one know whether a decision is right?🎗️🩺❤️‍🩹💊

Human beings live in ignorance, ignorance of the deeper truths and forces that govern our lives, ignorant of the Divine Presence within, ignorant of the very goal of life. The doctors are no exception. They act out of goodwill but often an ignorant goodwill that …

It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on your goal and not try to change people, however significant or close they may be in your life. To try changing others or to expect them to….

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?🪷🐘🌍🏮

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …
