A couple of weeks ago I asked you about the problem of a long distance relationship. You encouraged me to continue it as it would give a chance of refining the relationship to a higher level without the bondage of marriage. Still, at this stage it feels like work, and there is little satisfaction that I feel. I realised we are so different that we have few things to talk about when we are not physically present with each other. Even other people told me that it’s obvious that I’m not in love with the girl, and if I was I wouldn’t be speaking in this way. It is mostly my idealism that made me commit to her in this way, because I couldn’t bear the thought of hurting her😥
It is obvious that one should not engage in a relationship if one is not happy about it or doesn’t feel love. There is nothing
You explained it in such a wonderful way, and I have gained a lot of understanding from it. when you said, “Spirituality and the spiritual paths are not like colleges where one goes to earn a degree or get some result. Spiritual life is a vast unfolding of each one’s unique divine possibility with no reference or comparison with anyone else” You have touched me deeply, and I am very grateful for answering all my questions with your love 🙏
You have a beautiful heart. May your faith and aspiration grow and the Divine Mother guide you in…
Yesterday, my ex-girlfriend came in my dream, We were playing, dancing. I don’t remember the whole dream. Someone who is so far away, I haven’t talked to her for a long time, how come she is coming in my dreams🤨?

“But there are other worlds where the Manifestation is simultaneous and not successive.” what does this mean🤔?
She is referring here to the Supramental Worlds. Successive manifestations imply Time and Space. Sweet Mother, can one go out of Time and Space? If

Yes children are full of energy and they absorb a lot of energy from everything around them. It needs to be channelised as well as
Is there a place for conscious & kind intimacy in the spiritual journey? Why is there such a stigma to sex in the spiritual domain? Why does Indian society feel ashamed of this subject? When the idol of Shiv & Shakti itself symbolises linga & yoni in a constant sacred union bringing the balance of stillness and movement in this universe😲
The stigma of sex was not unique to Indian Society. You might have heard about the phrase Victorian morality as late as early 1900s, the
“Yes there would be Vibhutis of the Avatar but that is different from the Avatar himself coming back as a Vibhuti. ” Can you please explain this line from yesterday’s answer🤨?
In the Gita Sri Krishna describes many of his vibhutis in whom and through whom one feels something of His Presence, so too there are
What are the practical ways of putting your mind to silence🤔?

A few days ago I was on a trip to South India. During this time I got to see many temples of Goddess Gayatri in almost all the cities like Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mysore etc. Goddess Gayatri is worshipped along with Shiva, Ganesha, Kartikeya and Sriyantra in all the temples except the Mysore Palace. This surprised me as I have known the Goddess as a power that illuminates. I am wondering what could be the rationale behind this which seems to be against the scriptures. Can you please shed some light on this😊?
The worship of goddess Gayatri is relatively new. I am not sure when these temples were built because in ancient scriptures you here so much
Why did God choose the designs He did? Like I understand the beauty and I’m in awe of uplifting it to His majesty… but why is a rose red? Why does the atom look the way it does? Why is the Sun round? Or, is it that these are just what are limited senses are yet able to perceive and there are more shapes, colours, and designs our senses are not yet tuned to🤨?
The forms and colours in the world have been conceived through the eye of an Artist and given shape and figure through the hands of
This question is from one of Mother’s Prayers: A teaching can be profitable only if it is perfectly sincere, that is, if it is lived while it is being given, and words often repeated, thoughts expressed frequently can no longer be sincere…Why should oft repeated words or thoughts become insincere? Is Mother saying that by doing it we become attached to the outer shell than to the inner Truth🤔?
Words are vehicles meant to carry certain vibrations through the medium of speech. The vibrations are contributed by the spontaneous movements of the inner being.
Bhaiya, I had a dream in which I was inside a temple. I don’t know the exact deity of the temple, but it seemed like it might be Goddess Kali. What happened there was that an old man was lying down, almost in a state of dying. After that, I saw the window turn completely black, and the soul or spirit of that old man came out and went directly towards the deity. I stepped outside after seeing this and told my friend, who was standing outside in the dream, that this place didn’t feel good. I explained the whole incident to her, and she said that there are some distorted forms of Kali that are not good. She then started searching for which form of Kali this was, and at that point my dream ended😲
Yes it seems you did enter a dark vital domain where one of these forms of the goddess Kali resides. She is not dangerous but
When someone begins reading The Upanishads or The Secret of the Vedas by Sri Aurobindo📖, is it necessary to have prior knowledge, or can beginners start without any background of Vedas and Upanishads?
It is not necessary to read these texts as far as the practice of the Integral Yoga is concerned. Sri Aurobindo wrote them as part
You said-” If a mother may have 10 children then while the last enters the kindergarten the first will be preparing for graduation. How can they have the same understanding and response to life. “Does it always mean that a person who has taken more births is more evolved🤔?
Without a doubt. Rebirth is an evolutionary process, that is why quitting the game of life in pursuit of individual moksha or cutting the thread
Hi Alok da, what do u thinks of abortions? Do u approve or not😥? Did Mother approve or not?
A child should not be brought into the world if the parents, especially the mother, is not ready. Of course it is best to take
Will you state some writings of The Mother about the transformation of cells which these bloody business rackets are claiming to achieve in 3 days🤔
Her writings and experiences of the cellular transformation are too profound to be turned into a course or taught by a teacher for a fee.
Dear Alok da our 11 year is having troubles at school, he feels really bad as he is now been picked by the other boys in the school for projects and then the teacher put him with girls, as parents what can we do to help him🤨?
One of the things one learns in school is to adapt to different and often difficult situations. It is not about gathering information for which
Will the Divine surely answer and Help me, if I pray to and call Him in arta prarthana ? And, if I keep praying to Him forever for His Protection and Grace?
Why doubt and let your mind stand in the way? Who else but the Divine can answer our prayers, understand our struggles, hopes, fears and…
