I used to tell me about the difficulty of sexual urges, masturbation earlier. Nowadays I don’t feel very strong urges in the body, and if an urge pops up , something within me shots or burns that urge at the very next moment. As I’m in my hometown nowadays, I’m sitting whole day in the sunlight and feel very fresh throughout the day
That is good to know. It is indeed a Grace to be released from these urges. But it is best not to speak about…
I’m not able to read anything other than Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s work. I was thinking of ordering few books and decided all the titles, but now as I told you about that feeling of Savitri as only mantra, I’m not having any interest in reading any thing else😖

While I informed about the danger of mRNA injections, during Covid, by sending documentation, one of my children got vaccinated and adheres to the narrative of the Macron government. As for spirituality, let’s not talk about it, it is materialistic. I wonder if we really choose our family before incarnating. Could it be a game of chance, similar to a lottery?

Even though we know way, what is preventing me from devoting myself to the fullest🤔? Why have I wasted so many years?
The need for miracles means that the vital wants an easy way out. It means that we are wanting the Divine not for our ultimate
Yesterday I had a feeling in my heart that I should be carried by Savitri🕊️, that alone should be my Mantra, I don’t know how, as always the whole passages slips above my head, but still I have a bhaav that Savitri alone should be my refuge.
Follow your bhava. It will not disappoint you. Savitri is the guide for the yoga of transformation. It is the word-body of Sri Aurobindo and
Alok da Mother has told never leave your children with servants and all. Around here in the cities parents leave their children to the servants all the time, what will happen to these children? What psychological and developmental problems happen to these children😡?

“Educate the Will first, through the Will educate the Jnanam, through the Jnanam purify the Chitta, control the Prana and calm the Manas. “. Alokda, will you kindly explain how to educate the Will and through it the Jnanam🤨?

I’ve heard that observing the Janmashtami fast is said to be equivalent to the merit of a hundred or more Ekadashi fasts. Is their any special significance of doing fast on that day🤨?

This year Janmashtami is falling on 15 August. I don’t recall ever seeing Sri Aurobindo’s birth anniversary and Janmashtami fall on the same day. What is the significance of this😌?
