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.Β
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.
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?π§ β€οΈππ±
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…ππ€ππΈ
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?π§πͺ·π€βΎοΈ
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…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
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?π₯πππͺ·
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.

Collected Works of the Mother Volume 9
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? Also what techniques or books or methods you use to heal yourself of ailments, depression and diseases? What should one inculcate or fix in daily routine as to live in tune with the universe?π§π³πͺ·βοΈ

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€
Possibly a vision in the vital world.
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
I think you mean despite not putting much effort because if they don’t perform then there can be no result. Well it is a question
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·
The sacrifice refered to with regard to Sri Aurobindo’s physical withdrawal is the renunciation of the realisation in his own body so that the collective
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
