Regarding the question of the avatar, a person expressed the view that there has never been a fully realized being on Earth, as such a state is impossible when incarnated in a body; the body imposes limitations on us.ย From my perspective, I therefore conclude that the ultimate question is that of the Avatar. โจ๐ […]

Following your recent video on self-discovery, I am trying to understand how to practically find my swadharma. I feel torn between a desire to explore science (despite hitting its limits and doubting my own capacity) and an urge for adventure and discipline, like joining the armed forces.๐งญ๐ฑ[…]

I’m able to practice, or at least try to practice, being a witness to happenings outside, but I’m not able to understand or try to be a witness to happenings inside me. Stepping back and not rushing to act is ok, but how do I be a witness to myself? ๐๏ธ๐ฅ […]

Sometimes, the Mother describes chakras (centres) as ‘centre’ and sometimes as “solar plexus”… (ref. CWM:7:248, CWM:4:286, CWM:6:311 ). What is the difference between chakra (centre) and “solar plexus”? ๐งโจ […]

Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to my mother to help me overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. ๐๐ฟ
A marraige that does not fulfil certain basic conditions is not a marraige at all but a forced togetherness for both. Love and mutual respect
My intuition about life, love and happiness has always been proven wrong. Still, I live with an intuition for a dreamful life. This sometimes gives pleasure and sometimes pain; are there any options to move out? ๐ฑโจ

Dear Dada, in my family, we argue heatedly about the interpretation of Sri Aurobindoโs yoga. These discussions end with everyone remaining entrenched in their own convictions and feeling personally offendedโto the point where old grievances resurface. How can we grow together in this yoga? Thank you. ๐๏ธ๐๐ป
It is seldom that one can build harmony through discussions. Mind, by its nature divides the integral truth and takes each portion for the whole.
I had a bad dream where I was playing cricket and in the middle of nowhere a dinosaur came and ate me, and I got trapped and couldnโt escape. Help, please. ๐๐๐ป
As you know Dinosaur are extinct. Being eaten up by a dinosaur means being overwhelmed by non-existent fears, not your own fears but fears from
I read the response regarding social relationships, and another question came to mind. If we live apart from others, don’t we risk becoming modern-day hermits who, the moment they encounter the outside world, fall back into the games of an ego that was merely dormant? ๐ฑ๐๏ธ[…]
We can compare it as the three stages in the growth of a plant. There is the seed stage. This is when we are buried

I spoke with you earlier about the conflict between my friendโs parents. The situation between them has become very disturbing, as they argue constantly and often do so in front of their children. ๐๐ฑ […]
Yes, you should speak to them if you know them. It is the right thing to do to try making them aware that their selfishness
You spoke about making choices during the ‘Delhi Talk’. Dada, what exactly constitutes the ‘right’ choice? I don’t quite understand. ๐งญ๐ […]
The road we chose to take should be the one that takes us closer to the goal. Therefore the first thing necessary is to be
I know this can sound like a silly question, but I wanted to ask what detachment is. What is attachment? What is the deeper meaning behind these? ๐๏ธ๐
