Many times we see a person with mediocre talent and efforts get success (sometimes unprecedented) quickly and others with much better abilities and hard work keep on struggling to get their rightful dues. What could be the reasons for this disparity🤨? Could deity worship and performing some specific rituals influence the outcome?
We feel a sense of injustice because we assume that outer success is some kind of a reward that God should give for good deeds.
For most of us moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth-death) is the ultimate goal. Isn’t this an escapist and pessimistic approach? In my view this is not true. Instead of Moksha, we should seek peace, power, prosperity and happiness/bhoga in this world itself. This world must have been made for this, otherwise these things would not have existed and whenever we fell short in our efforts to attain them, God helps us at our call through his different forms. Is my belief correct😕?
You are absolutely right. If the Divine wanted Nirvana then there would have been no world at all. The real meaning of Moksha was freedom
How can I control my eating habits🍕🍰? Since I live away from home and don’t have the set up to cook, I often end up ordering food, junk, sweets, trying new foods and cold items, which has made me develop a sweet tooth. I know this is not good but what to do to control it.
Probably there is a need to find goals that can engage you fully and activities that can make you happy. When we get deficient in
Worldly desires are not created by man in the lab. They are given to him naturally. If everything is created by the divine then these desires also must have their right place and purpose in the whole scheme. Then why consider it as a hindrance in spiritual progress? Why are we taught to limit them rather than teaching us to fully aspire for their fulfillment as a duty? What is the purpose of these materialistic desires in our existence🥧🏓👕?
The purpose of desire is to shake up the inert tamasic state in which man may sink and, like the stone, neither seek nor aspire,
Is it true that Hitler wanted to invade India 🇮🇳, is it true that this was his final destination? So then there must me thousands of World War stories, movies, etc and not one is talking about this event, why?
That Hitler wanted to invade India is mentioned in a well researched book titled Hitler’s God by George Vreikheim. Of course he may not have
What is the difference between realising one’s psychic being🌟 and realising one’s soul? Both are immortal in essence, both are a portion of the Supreme and both give us liberation from our surface nature. Of course, while the Atman is a static entity and psychic being evolutionary, I was still wondering where exactly is the difference between these two realisations?
The soul is the seed, the core around which the psychic being develops through an evolutionary process. In essence they are one and the same.
[1] How should one celebrate Diwali🪔 while following the path of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo? [2] Do festivals like Navratri, Diwali, Holi and lots other, still hold any true significance in today’s world, and if not, what should be the approach of ordinary people towards these celebrations?
[1] There is no Diwali celebration in the Ashram. As the Mother used to give Darshan marking it as Kali Puja. If we wish to,
I had a doubt about the other paths of worshipping the Divine Mother and are those worshippers too involved in the divine work which integral yoga aims at? If someone is in the tantric upasana of Maha Kali, who is none other than the Divine Mother in her personality of strength, and he completely surrenders to her will, would he too be joined in the work of manifesting divinity in matter🧐? Or would he go to the path of oneness with her, or the path of traditional concept of Moksha?
Different forms and names, whether of the Ishwara or of the Divine Mother are there precisely because each has a specific power and purpose in

Some time back I had a dream that I was flying✈, it felt real, what does that mean?

In the Ramcharitmanas Tulsidas makes Rama say “sanmukh hohi jeeva mohi jabahi janam koti agha naasahi tabahi” (As soon as a soul is face to face with me, the sins of crores of births are destroyed). Isn’t this true for the first contact with the presence at the Samadhi too 😊?
Well, everything is possible if the soul invokes the highest Grace by the intensity of its faith and / or aspiration. However it may not
Which according to you is the best deity and way of worship for a man like me 😏 who is quite lethargic and disinterested in life as I sometimes feel, this whole existence (humans, galaxies, animals, plants etc) is meaningless but at the same time desire to develop a permanent evolutionary impulse in me.
The chosen Deity (Ishta Devata) is not someone that can be determined by weighing the pros and cons, advantages and benefits vis a vis the

As I am studying Katha Upanishad, (still only on 11th Mantra), couple of questions came to my mind, Does Sri Aurobindo and Mataji believe in Vedic (e.g rituals, Karmakand) or Vedantic philosophy? And I am having trouble with the concept of Tatvam Asi and yet going to Swarg. If everything is in me, why is Swarg separate🤔?
Sri Aurobindo did not discard Karmkand but bypasses it. His starting point is the Vedantic philosophy that there is One Reality behind all appearances. He
