What is the best way to maintain friendly and distant relationships, Alok da? Not too personal and close – don’t share too much emotional stuff, but keep it healthy: just meet and greet once in a while, occasional conversations.ย What is the best way to handle/deal with people? ๐ค๐ฟ

I recently listened to your talk about the Odyssey. It was a very enjoyable talk. There, you read some lines from Illion, which made me question. We know that vital love and vital relations are said to be ugly and deformed. โค๏ธ๐ […]

AI and even greater technology is bound to emerge as the human mind progresses towards greater frontiers of knowledge. The question is human consciousness as
But then why does The Mother say, “Get rid of violence and you will be free from fear”? In their case, isn’t it the opposite: that violence stems from fear, so fear must be cured to cure violence? I am a little confused here, sorry. ๐๏ธ๐ฟ […]
Violence and fear are closely interconnected. In psychology we call it anger and fear. Fear (and its cousin depression) stems from anger turned towards oneself.
Last night, I had another dream. A person was with me, and there was a snake coiled up asleep; I am not entirely certain, but it seemed to have golden dots on it. The person told me to kill the snake. I asked, “It is sleeping peacefully; what is the point of killing it?” They insisted I kill it anyway. ๐๐๐ฆ […]

ย It is clearer now. I didn’t know that vital love could also be considered great. I have not watched the Odyssey yet.ย However, after listening to your talk, I watched Troy (2004) out of curiosity. The way the relationships were portrayed felt very vital, except for Hector’s and his wife’s relationship.โค๏ธ๐ […]

In answer to my previous question regarding the pull towards ‘Maa’ , you have said this: “To turn to Her is to be sure of reaching the goal. She doesn’t give us a teaching or a method, nor does she expect anything from us to reach the goal. ๐๐ป๐ธ […]

You have said: “As an individual, we should be careful about which side of the conflict we stand… ”ย Can you please explain what you mean in more detail? โ๏ธ๐งญ
The world often presents the picture of various kinds of conflict some of which take a more fierce form and larger dimension. One option is
I had a question about handling insults. I understand that I should have equality towards praise and blame. But when someone insults me unnecessarily and it is not true criticism but rather a shallow opinion, then it causes disturbance within me. โ๏ธ๐๏ธ[…]
