Dada, Thank you for giving your knowledge so generously, after being around Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s wisdom I feel guilty to ask and though I try to filter a lot of questions before asking but this one has been bothering for more than 2 years now. Dada I feel a sense of intense restlessness, while externally all seems fine, I don’t know when was the last time I really laughed. Its like I am definitely not doing what I am supposed to do while working, eating all times. Dada, I am nervous and restless but I dont know why am I feeling this way before I even get to the solution part. I cannot question my job and people around when its inside, how do I get rid of it. Dada I am so clueless that I even started started digging details of my birth chart, which I never really believed in. Please help/ dial your hotline to mother as to whats wrong with me ๐๐๐ฃ

Many people say that people in India do not follow their traditions as strictly as they once did, and that there is growing resistance, especially among the younger generation, toward maintaining cultural practices. They often compare this with countries like China and Japan, where people are perceived to follow their cultural traditions more rigorously and preserve them with strong social discipline. According to this view, todayโs generation is more distant from traditional customs than previous generations. Interestingly, this concern is most often expressed by people in their 30s and 40s ๐ชท๐๏ธ๐
I am not sure about China and Japan of today. There is a general decline in culture everywhere and it is not without its purpose.
I saw a quote from Paramahansa Yogananda ji, where he said that God yearns for our love because that is the only thing that is not readily available for him. While I respect his words, I feel a bit confused because I have also heard that the Divine wants nothing (Bhagavad Gita). What is the truth behind this?๐น๐๐
It is a little human way of putting it but there is a profound truth in it that has been corroborated by all the bhaktas.
How is one to find his Psychic being and when will the irrevocable transformation happen after which no personal effort is needed? Is this not the aim of Integral Yoga to find oneself? Is this really an achievable goal even for the sadhaks at the Ashram?๐๏ธ๐๐๐ค๐

What if the person pushes you to see your own flaws and work on them and be better, grow spiritually, not maybe in the nicest way or knowingly but sub consciously? As the soul within feels awakened.. somehow knows..ย ๐๐โ๐๏ธ

Can you explain this dream: Sir today I saw dream in which I was to give a three day exam on three different centers, the first two days of the exam I am correctly able to reach the exam center on time with one of my fellow colleagues as we had the same center. On the 2nd day after…๐๐ค๐๐

How can I develop genuine humility instead of forced politeness? How can I stop absorbing othersโ emotional states so intensely? How can I begin to see the other person also as a child of The Mother, especially when I have to continuously work under them and old reactions get triggered repeatedly?

In YouTube I saw a video where tarot card reading was mentioned, out of curiosity I opened it, selected a pile intuitively and to my surprise few things that were told their were quite accurate. Firstly What exactly is tarot card reading and what purpose it serves, Is it a superstition? Did The Mother & Sri Aurobindo commented on this?๐๐ฎ๐
The Mother has not mentioned anything directly about the Tarot card. But if we take the essence of Her writings in these matters it would
Should one continue to obtain fresh Blessing Flowers from the Ashram and immerse the old ones, or does the Mother’s power remain eternally present within all the old Blessing Flowers?๐ชท๐๐

I have had a ‘cold’ heart for many years, feeling no emotion. Can my psychosis, social ill-treatment, and prolonged suffering be a reason for this ‘coldness’?๐๐ฅถ๐ฅ

I wanted to seek your guidance regarding something that has been confusing me inwardly. My confusion is: in this situation, what should be my right attitude?

Alok Da, I have been involved with a married man who has a child. For three years, he has promised to leave his wife, but it has become clear that he has no intention of doing so. Now, he says he will marry me legally but also wants to continue his past life. I am becoming very insecure; what is the right thing to do in this situation?๐โ๏ธ๐ช
