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…πππ©Ίπ―οΈπ
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?βΈοΈβ‘οΈποΈπ
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.Β 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.Β π«£π€¦ββοΈππ
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

Recently a devotee told me that until Mother is known, until we haven’t glimpsed the mother, until the Mother reveals herself as the Supreme to a seeker, yoga is not initiated in an individual. Hence, there is no yogic initiation, yoga hasn’t begun at all or rather it is a subconscious yoga. I would like to understand that clearly. What is subconscious and conscious yoga?

Nobody can or aught to say whether somebody is on the path of Yoga or not. Nobody can know Her except what She Herself choses
Can the psychic being change its field of work in the same life after developing to a certain extent? It seems like leaving something midway externally, but it takes a more challenging field that will also expedite the divine manifestation, or it may even be called to it. It just decides to do something else the next day and then the external changes follow. The old life falls away, the progress is integrated and a new life has started, everything in one lifetime. What is the purpose of this?π±βοΈππ―οΈ
The psychic being is more concerned with changing one’s inner field of nature, of rectifying the attitudes so that one grows closer to the Divine.
Sir in one conversation you said that Sri Aurobindo Ashram is for higher evolution, What is that higher evolution referring to?

Please explain this dream, I was walking on a road, when a boy came and said β βLook up.β As soon as I looked up, the sky turned into a wonderful scene of deep blue. In that sky, Sri Krishna again appeared in his child form moving from one side to the other.πππ΄π€

Why some people despite of not performing their work gets result? And the results are sometimes overwhelming than others who are actually working towards it.π»βοΈβ¨πΌ

Here too my thoughts on Gyana, Vigyana, Even in Bhagvat Gita, it’s expressed like this in several places, but not all 3 together in one sloka. This is my understanding:…ππππͺ
Yes because what is generally understood (and rightly so) by Vigyana is the Divine Manifestation in the cosmos as it functions too. The Unmanifest that
What is the exact mechanism of the great sacrifice of Sri Aurobindo on 5th December 1950 and why it was needed?π¦β‘οΈπ§βοΈπͺ·

In the Gita, in this shloka, in second line Sri krishna saysΒ Β “Behold Arjuna the many wonderful things which no one has ever seen orheard before” So can we take these words ” Adrishta” and ” Ashcharya”Β Β for new creation also?Β πͺπππ

What’s the difference between Integral Yoga and Non-dualism of Vedanta?ππποΈπ
Non-dualism or Adwaita simply implies that there is ‘One Reality without a second’. So far all spiritual teaching including Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga metaphysics agrees.

Physicists speak of quantum entanglement β particles far apart, yet bound as one. The Rishis spoke of αΉitam β the secret order of the cosmos. Is this entanglement a glimpse of that αΉitam? How may the seeker move from knowing it as concept to realizing it as truth of Being?π§π¬π§ β¨π§¬
Quantum entanglement, like morphic resonance is a reflection of the truth of interconnectedness of all the elements in creationon. The deeper reason for this is
Sir, how to build grace, faith and trust in the divine? Sir, what’s the difference between faith and trust? I believe when there is grace, faith and trust, our Sweet Mother’sΒ work becomes easy. Sir, if we have faith, grace and trust in the Divine, how to sustain that, how to hold that?βπ±βοΈπ
Faith is to have the certitude beyond any doubt that the Divine exists. Trust is that one can depend upon the Divine. Both are needed.
