We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.ย
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
I don’t understand anything. On one hand, I’m meditating on Gurudev and the Mother, and on the other, I’m receiving your help. And I’m ignorant, I can’t understand what’s going on? And in the yoga of transformation, along with the Mother’s power, do practitioners who have reached a very advanced state in yoga also help and how are they helped?โก๐ชท๐โก๏ธ๐ฆ
It is only the Divine who helps. But He can use anything, any person, any form to reach out to the seeker. Of course if
I do understand what you said about the surgery. But my confusion is still there. I know both Sri Aurobindo and The Mother were against surgery. They were both working on their own bodies. Even in last days Sri Aurobindo registered medicine. Were they against surgery on themselves or for every one?๐ค๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉบ
The Mother and Sri Aurobindo generally adviced against surgery to all their disciples. Of course there were those who went ahead with it due to
What are your thoughts on the Maa kamakhya temple and it’s tantric practice and bali pratha…Does any devi want bali to be offered? How does one save from black magic on himself and family?๐ฎ๐ค๐งฟ๐ญ
Bali pratha (Animal sacrifice) has lost its meaning and purpose now. It is a crude form of worship for those who worship the Devi with
In a dream, I saw that there was a big container from which a voice was coming. The voice was telling me something, but now I don’t remember what they were saying. I tried to go inside that container, but someone said – “He will not be seen, he is God.”๐๐ญ๐ค๐ด
Big Railway Container suggests guidance received for the journey. It is possibly referring to askalokda website.
A few days ago I was listening to one of your recent talks on Auromaa. There you mentioned that according to The Mother, darkness and suffering were the results of an accident. I have a few questions on this. How and why did this accident take place? Who is the practical joker whom Mother had mentioned? What was the role of the psychic beings and why did they consent to go through this suffering?โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฉน
Yes this is mentioned in one of Her talks of 1957. Let me first give the full passage.
‘Perhaps, when one knows it is a
Can The Superman tooย say the same statement,ย once He starts manifesting on Earth?ย โ๏ธ๐งโจ๐
This phrase is only for the Avatars and cannot apply to any evolutionary being. Besides the Superman will not be born nor assume the lower
On one hand, there is crisis in life due to karma. If one receives Divine Grace, all karma can be annulled. On the other hand, it is said that every crisis in life is due to an evolutionary pressure, which provides an opportunity to evolve.ย Which of these is correct?๐๐๐ฑโก๏ธ๐พ
Karma itself is an evolutionary mechanism and not a system of reward and punishment. Crisis is always essentially an inner event. It may or may
The yoga that is practiced with name and form at the centre, is it the Divine bliss, Divine peace, Divine light that is beyond name and form, can only that be called Divine presence?๐ชทโ๏ธโจ๐
Divine Presence is the Source of all Peace, Bliss, Light, Love and something even more. To find the Divine Presence is to automatically find all
Sri Aurobindo says “God, the world guru, is wiser than thy mind; trust Him and not that eternal self-seeker and arrogant sceptic”. Here Sri Aurobindo is referring to mind as eternal self-seeker and arrogant Sceptic? Alok da please explain.๐คโค๏ธโโจ
Yes, the mind believes that it can know but if we look closely, all our efforts to understand are based on false premises and a’priori
How do you encourage the vital and physical being to surrender and call for the higher life?
The first step is to tame them by bringing these two fellows under the control of the discerning intellect. It is what the Mother calls
What does Mother mean when she says that Nature plays mischief with us? Why does she cause so much obstruction through desires and impulsions, even when we sincerely seek the Divine? Isn’t she supposed to help us to develop quicker?๐ง โค๏ธ๐ญ๐ฑ
Sri Aurobindo explains (it is there in the Vedas as well as the Gita) that there is a double nature, – lower and higher. The
I find that I have a strained or tense and cautious attitude towards The Mother, as if it is a fragile relation which I could ‘mess up’ due to the impurities in me. I think I know that if I were to love Her truly one day, then I would not be cautious or reserved, I’d trust entirely and wouldn’t want to spare even a thought or a feeling for myself. I aspire to that, but I’m so very far away from it. I feel it would be helpful to start with an honest, real and open attitude and take small steps with Her towards a loving unity eventually…๐๐ค๐๐ธ
Beautiful state. Pray to the Mother and open to Her more and more. The more you open the more everything will come and develop. Do
Do you know of any entry by Sri Aurobindo in his diary in which he records his first meeting with The Mother or of his recognition of Her as the Divine Mother like there is by The Mother in her diary on 30 Mar 1914?๐ง๐ชท๐คโพ๏ธ
No. There is no such record. It is only in a conversation with Barin da who asked him what did Sri Aurobindo see in the
Two questions today, two years ago I had a back surgery, which went wrong. I remember even when they gave me anesthesia I was taking Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s name, and had left everything to them. Now again they are talking about another surgery, saying that I have a cyst that has to come out and fuse L2 to L4. L5 S1 is already fused about 11 years ago. this will be 3 to 4 hour surgery. I think I am having some faith problem…๐๐๐ฉบ๐ฏ๏ธ๐
Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were never in favour of surgery. So we can’t be doing something that they themselves have advised against and then
Is nirbeej samadhi and universal realisation or spritual realisation the same thing and realisation of sarvam khalvidam brahma is also called the same?And my second question is whether nirbeej samadhi is the intermediate link in the process of divine transformation or it has to be avoided?โธ๏ธโก๏ธ๐๏ธ๐
They are all different things. Nirbija samadhi is a state of the mind being completely absorbed in the Brahman consciousness. If one stays in it
Why is it that I have these phases when I feel uncomfortable or uneasy, standing in front of Lord and Mother? As if they would be disappointed in me or ashamed of me. I understand that they’re not human parents and that they don’t emote like we think. It’s just how I feel.ย Honestly, that’s just my constant state of mind, I always feel that everyone is disappointed in me. I think that seeps into all my relationships, whether it is with family, or friends or even the Divine.ย ๐ซฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐
Yes we tend to project our inner state and feelings upon others, including the Divine. It is a form of the ego that closes itself
In this talk you say that human suffering has reduced significantly since 1960. Can you please elaborate or give some examples of this as also some concrete examples/proofs of the birth of the new world and the working of the Supramental Force?๐ฅ๐๐๐ชท
I have mentioned it passingly. Some examples:
Physical level suffering due to accidents, injuries, diseases due to discoveries leading to better and more efficient management.
