It would help if you could clarity two terms Life and Thought, from the Life Divine. This is from the opening para of the chapter Reality Omnipresent: Since, then, we admit both the claim of the pure Spirit to manifest in us its absolute freedom and the claim of universal Matter to be the mold and condition of our manifestation, we have to find a truth that can entirely reconcile these antagonists and can give to both their due portion in Life and their due justification in Thought, amercing neither of its rights, denying in neither the sovereign truth from which even its errors, even the exclusiveness of its exaggerations draw so constant a strength🤔 (pg. 29)

How exactly is Sri Aurobindo using the terms ‘Life’ and ‘Thought?’. He uses these two terms a lot in Life Divine?

Life is the means through which matter begins to aspire and seek, however vaguely towards the Spirit. Life is also the energy needed for anything, for the sadhana as well as the Divine manifestation.

Thought is the means through which the Spirit communicates itself as well as the bridge through which life ascends towards the heights. By ignoring these two layers and speaking only of the material and the spiritual we miss the connecting bridges.

Alok Da, I have got attached to someone after a physical intimacy (kind of night stands – about 4-5) but he is not. how to handle it. Actually I thought I am in love with him…so I allowed all that to happen…else i happened to be someone who wouldn’t let anyone touch me. What should I do? I am afraid of conveying my feelings to him as I know he is not going to reciprocate. I am just always craving his proximity, which i know is my problem.. How can I be at peace?? I want to detach myself from those feelings i have towards him?

My niece is in Class-9th. She is facing some problems in her class. Students ignore her in the class. She is good at studies. They say she has an attitude. She says that she feels alone in the class, especially during recess. 🏫🤝🌼[…]

Children who are either above or below the average face this isolation in the class. It is more so if the child is inwardly more developed as your niece is. Instead of trying to change to find friends she should learn to accept herself as she is and wait till she discovers someone who shares her tastes and temperament. She will find a few …
