Home » Spirituality » Lately whenever I read from the works of Mother and Sri Aurobindo, I understand that the writings reveals the truth to me. But if somehow, I speak with people who have a different set of ideals and values on the subject, sometimes contradictory, I feel that they might still be seeing only a part of the truth. Because of what I feel, I sometimes say to them to understand Mother and Sri Aurobindo or atleast, wish it within myself. I do not believe that the whole truth has revealed itself to me yet, and I also read the sentences, “When a thing is true, you can be sure that it’s opposite is also true””It (the truth) will manifest itself for those who are sincere and attentive” So, is my feeling and wish (as I mentioned above) coming from my ego? Or is it an egoistic desire? What should I then feel, except to keep walking with the Mother and Sri Aurobindo towards the union🙂?

Yes even the greatest and vastest Truth is limited by the human mind into a one-sided formula. Hence the opposite is also true. What is needed is to be attentive in an inner quietude without preconceived notions or ideas so that the Truth may manifest itself according to the need of the moment.

So for each one the Truth manifests according to the stage and development of the individual as well as his true inner need. But human narrowness tries to make a fixed formula and believes it to be universally true and wants it to apply to all. So the important thing is to see what is one’s calling but leaves others free to follow their own.

I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects. I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. 😊🙏🏻🌸🌏[…]

I said that it is mentioned in spiritual literature that it takes almost 12 years for the basic purification to take place before one is ready to take off properly. It may take long or short depending upon the sincerity. Also one may …

I believed earlier that all of the manifested Universe is a part of the Apara Prakriti. But the Mother says that nature is infra-rational? But then I wonder whether reason is an instrument of Para Prakriti? Isn’t it too imperfect? What is the joining link of Nature with the Mother? 🌌🤔❤️‍🔥🪷
