One question that baffles me is, why the world was created? I still need to read Life Divine. If you could explain/guide me for reading etc. would be very helpful.πβ¨π±π΅πββοΈ
This world was created to manifest beauty and delight, to manifest the joy of love and the joy of multiplicity, the joy of danger and
I am asking Mother to purify my vital, and lately keep coming across talks and books on female codependency as if She is trying to show me what I need to examine and eradicate. I have never really understood what the term is. To me, this is a desire to fix others’ problems, to give emotionally or financially too quickly, or too much, without stepping back and asking the Divine what to do-it feel it comes from a vital egoic place that has been conditioned in women?ππ‘οΈππ§
The urge to help, to give, too soon and too much as you say comes from a large and generous vital. It is not necessarily
There is a flow of energy or power in the whole body “from the top of the head to the lower part of the soles of the feet” which sometimes moves in different parts of the body and sometimes the whole body becomes as light as cotton but then after some time darkness comes in and sometimes suddenly peace descends for a few moments but that peace cannot last for long. Is this energy flowing in the body the power of the Mother itself?? Wherever it goes, should we take our attention along with it or should we keep on chanting the name and keep the concentration above??β‘πβ¨π₯π
Yes it is the working of the Mother’s Force through the Prana. Yes if one should open these parts to the Mother by bringing the
What is the difference between remembering via ‘mental memory’ and remembering through ‘states of consciousness’. Mother says the latter is best since mental memory can be wiped out anytime but consciousness remembers always. I did not fully understand how one remembers through consciousness. I thought even our Vedic oral tradition employed mental memory alone. I seem to be missing Mother’s higher level insight.π§ ποΈπβ³
Now, there is another aspect also. Outside the mental memory, which is something defective, there are states of consciousness. Each state of consciousness in which

Is it true the supramental force descends on the spot where MATRIMANDIR is constructed.

When a seeker asked Gurudev about himself and his yoga, I am writing Gurudev’s answers below, which are available on his official website. When a seeker has been following this path for many years, and the Guru himself has promised to fulfill his desire, then suddenly Shri Maa appears from the other side, can you imagine what I must be going through inside?βοΈπ§βοΈπͺ·

Sir, inside me there is a strong desire for something. Within three days again those desires comes and I fulfill it that make me feel bad. Why I fulfilled this desire? This and that comes to the mind. But after fulfillment of desire, I think if it will come again, I will not fulfilled. Still it comes within 3 days I don’t want to fulfill still I fulfill it. Sir , what should be done? How to get rid of it which makes me do the things which I don’t want?π°πποΈπ
Desires are quite natural at your age, especially sexual desires. They are very tenacious and tend to return in a never ending cycle because there
Sri Aurobindo was focused on India at first until he found out that the war in Europe was threatening His yoga for the world and ultimately the yogic path could be blocked for all of mankind for a thousand years. How about now? Cripps proposal is a bad example of how audacious humans can be in opposing the will of the Divine. Is it true that the Divine chose to work from entirely behind the scenes so that humans may no longer commit gross and horrendous sins of going against His uttered words and suggestions?

My mother has a little request for you. She was asking if you could one day give a talk on parenting. Nowadays she sees many newer generation parents who are unable to handle their children. They are not strict and firm, even when they need to be. Some parents completely neglect the child and give the excuse of making them ‘independent’. As a result, the children don’t learn how to manage themselves properly. Unfortunately, some of them fall into the hands of the wrong company and take a dangerous route (drugs, etc). If you could give a little talk on this topic, that would be greatly appreciated.Β π§βπΌπ±π‘π€Ήβ€οΈ

I have a question about personal effort and reliance on the Mother. I know that you have talked about this subject already but still I am having some trouble understanding it. I want to rely more on the Mother, since only personal effort can puff up the ego. However when I tell myself to also rely on Her, I am scared to fall back into laziness and inertia and I am unable to rely on Her sometimes. My problem is, that I don’t know where to put in the personal effort and where to rely on the Mother. How to find the right balance between these two states?π§±π§βοΈπ§ββοΈ
The best way is of course to put in one’s best effort yet knowing that even the best of our efforts is only a limited

Alok da I’ve been initiated by a master. However for the last 2 years have been reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and am deeply attracted to their philosophy and yoga . In general yogic parlance its considered a big detriment to leave one path and follow another. Another common teaching is that the mantra or japa must always be given by a guru. I’ve been using the name of Sri Aurobindo and Mother as mantra now ; never having seen or accepted by them in the traditional method, kindly guide.π©΅πΈβΎοΈπͺ·π
The general advice of staying with one guru and the path he has shown is to prevent the seeker from falling into the trap of
