I often struggle to express myself clearly in words. Even when I have a deep and clear understanding of something within me, I find it difficult to convey it accurately to others. When I try to speak, the words that come out are often confusing or don’t match what I truly mean🥲.
Quite a few people have this difficulty especially when one wants to convey things that are deep. I would suggest three things that will help
I’m a very introverted person 😳and rarely share my feelings with others. Only one or two people truly know me well. I don’t even share anything with my parents, I often hold back because I fear the someone might copy my thoughts, ideas, or actions without giving me any credit. I also hesitate to invite people into my home, partly because I worry they might judge it, and partly because I’m afraid they’ll take ideas from my décor. I see my ideas as unique, and the thought of someone imitating them makes me uneasy. Please help me understand this better—are these two separate issues, or are they connected?
Nothing wrong with being an introvert but the thought that people may take your ideas should not be entertained. Ideas do not belong to anyone

Some people lack enthusiasm in life and constantly say no to anything that might bring them joy like going out, enjoying a meal, or watching a movie. While I agree that such activities may not offer deeper or lasting happiness, they also show no interest in exploring higher or more meaningful experiences. Instead, they often sulk, complain, criticize others, and remain unhappy with everything in their lives😥.
Yes this is a kind of shrinking from life, a kind of tamas (inertia) and fear of getting out of comfort zones. As a result
Should children dedicate their entire lives to their parents because they gave birth to them, raised them, and made many sacrifices? Some children even say, ‘My parents are like gods to me, if they asked me to jump into a well, I wouldn’t question it.’🤨
This is an absurd logic and contradicts the very core of Indian culture. The Gita, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana are all about dedicating our life

A few days ago, I had a dream in which I saw that our stone mines were burning and white🫨, with a lot of stones. Last night, I had a similar dream in which I saw that a lot of white stones were extracted and sold for 500,000 rupees. My uncle took those stones. Other people were saying, “Can’t we take it now?” My father said, “It was bought earlier.” On the other side, my brother was saying, “What is the use of this? It only covers the expenses.” After that, a man was telling me how many more stones would be extracted in the future and how much money there is. Does this dream have any symbolic meaning?
Yes the dream does indicate that the Divine Force (fire) has begun to work in the area where you work. Its first action is to
Invitation to Travel. Let’s cast off the moorings of the mind for the open sea.What is the difference between a mental solution and a spiritual solution? A mental solution to a conflict between two or more people will always be shaky and may become the cause of new problems, right? Seeking a mental solution is energy-consuming because we want to understand, and in order to understand, we can lose sleep. We think about it all the time! The difficulties encounter, the challenges are like goads. We go from involution to evolution⛵.
It is not just a question of consuming Time and Energy. It is a question of qualitative difference between the mental consciousness and the spiritual.

The Mother has made it very clear. The world is preparing for a change. She is asking whether we would cooperate. Here does she refer an in and out change in human consciousness? We can see the hour has begun since decades. We are witnessing war in and out. We are experiencing hostile attacks outside and inside of ourselves. So, in order to save ourselves collectively and individually should we give special preference to physical education like building a strong body, learning martial arts that can resist, endure the attacks as well as go though the changes in terms of Supramental Terms, like transform the way The Mother wants it to. Like i saw the pictures of many Sadhaks, including Pranab Da, our Tara Didi, even Puraniji who had built the body of real strength. So, in this hour of need, where does physical education stand? How do we build our women and children in this aspect?
Yes, the Mother has given a great importance to physical education in both men and women from an early age. Body is the base for
