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’sย work becomes easy. Sir, if we have faith, grace and trust in the Divine, how to sustain that, how to hold that?โ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐

Dada, how to stop thinking? I mean, continuous thoughts are coming and going regarding useless things. Sri Aurobindo has said we have to watch thoughts and not attach any importance to them, but how should we do that? Or how to calm our minds and think about our Master’s only?๐๐ช๏ธ๐คฏ๐๐ง

Kindly let me know if the understanding below is incorrect: As SAT, CHIT, and ANANDA are the 3 aspects of PARABRAHMAN, meant for the manifestation in our universe, so are the infinite other aspects of PARABRAHMAN meant for the manifestation in many other universes. And that is how millions of universes, of different kinds, have been created by the Divine.๐๏ธ๐โจ๐๏ธ

During Ganesha chaturthi people play movie songs, may I dare say, in Sri Aurobindo’s language, the lower vital songs, doesn’t Lord Ganesha gets pissed at our stupidity? Or is Lord Ganesha seeking that vital energy from us through the festival? Yes I know I sound crazy but this got me thinking so much. When do people start respecting Ganu bappa as he’s supposed to be? I know we’re evolving and all. I wish it happens soon so that I can witness it. Most probably I’ll be there, as someone else in different region.ย ๐ฅ๐บ๐บ๐ฝ๐

Sir, my question to you was why is Mother not helping and protecting us from these issues. I only get sleep because of medication, which is not a good thing in the long run. When Mother knows about our problems, why isn’t she guiding us and helping us get out of them?๐ก๏ธ๐ชฝ๐โจ
Why do you presume that the Divine Mother is not helping you? But there is something that we have to do to fully receive the
“Of course Christ has little to do with Christianity and the Bible and the institutionalized organised Church built around his name.ย ” If Bhagvat Gita, Bhagavadam, Brindavan have nothing to do with Shri krishna, then how willย anybody come to know Him?ย ๐โจ๐๐งโโ๏ธ

I get nauseous on buses. I even puked as we were approaching Auroville. Someone said that it’s the negative force going out of the body as we were nearing the sacred place and it made so much sense. The whole day I had to roam around Puducherry in that AC bus which made my journey worse. The next part of the camp was to visit the Ashram. There was a collective meditation. When I was just a kid of the Mother crying for Her. Why did I cry that way?ย ๐ก๐ณ๐๏ธ๐
