What’s the difference between the ‘Karyam Karma’ of the Gita and the ‘Kartavyam Karma’? Is there any? 😊🌄
Karyam karma is a general word and can mean anything from the work at hand to the duty assigned. Kartavyam karma is very specific. Though
We have 4 Yugas, and God knows how long it’s been going on, and for some reason, we know that it will definitely go on. My question is, are humans coming out of this loop at all? What happens when each human attains the end of progress as humans or superhumans or superman or whatever is the nomenclature for the ultimate stage of us? 🥸🌍[…]
He is making and breaking the puzzle because it is not yet perfect. It is still moving towards perfection which means a state when the

Action solves the difficulties which action creates. Inaction can only paralyse and slay. – Sri Aurobindo. Pranam Dada. Request for Explanation. 🙏🏻✨
Action done in the state of ego and desire gives rise to bondage to ignorance and invariably brings suffering and pain at some point as
Da, I don’t want to get married, but my single mother wants me to get married and have children, and the usual things. But I don’t want to get attached to these things. I fear that if I get married, I will have the worst marriage, and almost whenever the topic of marriage comes up, I almost imagine doing the worst things and pray for the worst to happen, and I don’t get involved in marriage. So help me, how to be? 😥
Whether good or bad, married life requires a very different kind of orientation. Initially, especially with children, it can and usually does come in the
Respected bhai, Pranam. In this age, though I am physically unfit to enjoy sex, but trains of thought regarding the enjoyment of this force come into the mind, along with fantasies, and anger for others. How to stop these thoughts and be Within. 🦋
Turn your mind towards God, towards higher things. Read the scriptures and spiritual writings. Do some work in a selfless manner as a service to
Would you have a mapping of Sri Aurobindo’s Terminology to the Gita’s Terminology and also to other Systems of Yoga alongside the Vedas and the Upanishads? Requesting a Tabular Mapping for better grasping, if possible. 📚📌
Actually the basic terminology is the same except that certain Sanskrit terms have been given in English whereas certain new terms coined for which there
After we discussed a few days ago, I started chanting the “Om Namoh Shivay” Mantra, using the Mala that I had put on the Samadhi when I was there last time. Then I came across some info (I don’t know how info, right or wrong, comes across YouTube University, when you are thinking about it). Anyway, it said that one should not chant the mantra as it is, but drop ‘OM’ from it, as it takes you to very high knowledge. 🕉️🔥[…]
It was a beautiful experience. The darkness was the prelude to the emergence of the true light, a sign that you were preceding on the
Would you kindly tell us about the strength and greatness of Draupadi? I have always wanted to know more about Tara & Mandodari as well. What kind of strength did they have that helped them to love their husbands who never followed the path of Dharma? 🌹✨
If we take a closer look at the five pratah smaraniya, the five women worth remembering every morning with respect we shall see a common
How to stop Judging People? I noticed this habit of constant criticism, and I want to get rid of it ASAP. 😑
I am glad you have recognised this pernicious habit and want to get rid of it. This is already half the victory. The overcritical tendency
Is it possible that a courageous person becomes a coward in his next life? 🤨↔️😨
Everything is possible. There are no fixed rules as the mind would like to imagine. There is an inherent complexity in creation. For instance, a
I have a question regarding Karna. Karna was not inherently a bad person, and with proper guidance, he too could have followed the path of Dharma. So why did the Divine allow him to become friends with Duryodhana? Would it not have been better for him if Kunti had revealed his True Identity during Rangabhoomi? He could have joined the Pandavas. Why was his identity only revealed to him at the end of his life? 🏹

The Personality that I know myself to be, who thinks and worries and talks to himself, is who I’ve discovered to be quite timid, a shrinking being who lacks genuine courage, audacity and boldness. Today, I don’t know why all of a sudden this flame of thought that “I am Brahman” flashed in my being. 🌄[…]
Yes the mantra ‘aham brahmasmi’ I am Brahman may and usually does inflate the ego. The ultimate experience it contains comes after a long time
Whenever someone I know comes into contact with the Mother, I start feeling jealous and uncomfortable. I don’t want that person to move forward in this Path. I know I should feel happy and believe that it will only help The Mother’s work, but instead, I feel uneasy and restless. I don’t understand why I feel this way. 😕
This happens to many though its manifestations are different. It happens when the consciousness is narrow and the vital especially small. It then tends to
I am angry with my Nana. He wanted to keep a brunch for nonsense reasons and to waste time, and the other day I wanted to keep my birthday party. He first wanted to keep it on Sunday, and Mumma told me, ‘Keep your Birthday on Saturday, as on Sunday, none of your friends will come’. 😠🎂🎈[…]

Those who give themselves entirely/ unconditionally to the Lord do more for the World than the so-called social workers, charities, trusts etc. One man’s perfection and one man who has purified himself, accomplishes more for mankind than any other means. Dada, please explain. 🫴🏼✨
Yes. Absolutely true. By ascending towards higher human or divine possibilities he automatically exerts a pull upon others in the same direction. It is because
It is said in the Traditional Spirituality that as one grows spiritually, their body becomes weak. What is the reason behind this? and how to make the body more strong to sustain Spiritual Evolution without breaking down? 💪🏼
There are different traditions and not all say the same thing. Besides this subject has its own complexity.
The basic principle is that there
Alok Da, is it okay that I catch the spirit of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga, when I read Political-Historical Writings – like Bande Mataram/ Karmayogin and don’t exactly feel it in Works – like Letters on Yoga. 📖[…]
Yes. It is perfectly okay. Different persons connect differently with Sri Aurobindo, each with the aspect that is most in sync with the turn of
