I listened to your recent youtube video “Who is The Mother?”. In this video,ย you mentioned that the Mother’s “Cling to the Truth ” statement was misinterpreted. Could you please explain what the Mother meant by these words and how was it misinterpreted?ย ๐โ๏ธ๐ก๏ธโ
It was not The Mother’s idea to put it. But The Mother accepted when it was put. Here is her own commentary on the subject.
How can I learn and understand more about Mahadev, how to worship him, etc.ย Can you suggest? I believe it is an extremely human mindset, but when I worship a god, they slide into a certain dynamic. Krishna is my brother. Lord is father/teacher and Mother isโฆ well, Mother.ย ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐
It is not a question of disrespect. It is just that the feelings should be translated into real life. Mata Parvati engaged in severe tapasya
When Mother was first shown Classics Illustrated children’s books, she remarked that they were “lamentably vulgar”. Would you know why she thought so?ย ๐๐๐ฐ๐
This is only one side of the story. It is equally true that She appreciated phantom comics and Sri Aurobindo enjoyed Curly Wee (now available
In Savitri, Aswapati had to travel many subtle worlds before reaching at the summit. I just want to know whether the person doing the sadhana must have to undertake the same journey during life time as well as after the physical body is discarded. Will the psychic being have to undergo the same route after death, even if a part is already covered during life time or skip those already covered?๐ โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐๏ธ
The journey of Aswapati is a very special journey taken consciously by him as the pathfinder and the pathmaker for the New Creation. It is
Sir, if someone came in Integral Yoga but after some time he got distracted in material things but he has aspiration to come back, he can’t able to come. Then will be be come someday again? If he didn’t come will he be destroyed, if he didn’t join again?๐โพ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐
Once one has been touched by the Grace it is rarest of rare to be lost because though plenty turn away from the Grace, it
When I read anand brahma Chapter of Synthesis of yoga then I found that I have experiencing these same thing much before. When I meditate or aspire or in the state of self giving then I find these two source where I feel peace, beauty, thril, wideness and anand. In different way such doubt in mother sri aurobindo which was very painful moment for me, ego, excessive ambition and sexuality etc. Now their impact is much less than before. When i take prayers and meditation books and randomly open the page i find “oh lord, you want i become your selfless worker than a meditative person”, “oh lord, don’t attach with your inner presence, make me a hero warrior so that i can surrender to you all parts of my being so that your complete manifestation will be possible”๐งโ๏ธ๐ชท๐
Your experience clearly indicate that you are quite well on the path. The lower nature is never easy to conquer in anyone. Even the strongest
You have said, ‘Then one would laugh at oneโs follies and hate and bitterness.’ I find this statement very powerful to counter all bitterness in me towards people. But, when I remember my past frictions with people and the way I was treated, I can’t help feeling anger for them. Is it becoming more difficult because of my psychosis?๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข
The more you justify these reactions the more they will linger and grow. Each one has to make a choice whether we keep living in
Since a few days, I have been seeing the time at 11:11 (both morning and night) without trying. I have heard that it’s a special number and it’s good to see it. Since the Mother has given meaning to numbers, is there really any truth to such beliefs?ย ๐ข๐ฏ1๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ3๏ธโฃ
Numbers are one of the ways that the Cosmos or Nature tries to communicate something to us, something that is either happening or about to
I have some questions after reading this text, because I have practiced Zen meditation, the Soto Zen zazen, for a long time. I don’t feel that Zen meditation is purely mental. What is the difference between meditation and concentration?๐ง๐ฎ๐๐
Meditation is a purely mental activity, which only concerns the mental being. One can concentrate while meditating, but this is mental concentration; one can attain
I am finding myself quite confused about the exact mechanics of โsurrenderโ and “offering.” Could you please guide me on the following practical difficulties I am facing?๐๐๐คฒ๐ชท[…]
Be a witness. Stand behind the thoughts and observe.
Later see which ones are aligned to your aspiration and which ones are not….
Sin is the Impurity, here is my take on it: Raw gold is pulled from the earth mixed with dross, dirt, and other metals. These “sins” make the gold dull and brittle.๐ชจโจโ๏ธ๐ก[…]
Very well described. The dirt etc that cover the gold are the accretions of ignorance that cover, divert and deflect our true nature. This deviation
‘The progress in sadhana comes from the rectification of the inner and outer attitude, not from the nature of the work one doesโany work, even the most humble, can lead to the Divine if it is done with the right attitude.’ -THE MOTHER. So how is the true way of having this truest or right inner attitude and outer attitude and rectification?? Example while being at home with children, cooking, doing choresโฆ please describe!โฐ๏ธ๐๐ฏ๐งญ
The first and most important, in fact the most powerful indispensable step is nishkaam karma. It means to do whatever work has fallen to our
ย I have noticed that when I chant ‘Mother Mother Mother Mother’, a form of anxiety arises in me, like a great tension and a more serious Divine Force. But when I chant ‘Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa’, I feel calmer and more centred. Is this something similar to what is described in the Bhagavad Gita in chapter 11, when Arjuna sees Sri Krishna in the Supreme Universal Form, vs Sri Krishna normally seen by Arjuna in a friendly, loving manner.๐ซจ๐๐ฐ๐น
Each one has a personal way of connecting. But Maa is certainly better, easier, even phonetically simpler. Mother reminds of someone or something superior with
How do we reconcile the Gitaโs teaching to surrender the results of action without obsessing overย Paapย andย Punyaย with the Jain emphasis on sin, guilt, and atonement, and what are Lord Shivaโs (Mahadev) unique teachings that made him so beloved even by theย Asuras? ๐ฑ๐๐๐โ๏ธ
Paap and Punya are one among different systems created by the human mind to navigate their life. They are helpful and needed at one step
How can one break free from the cycle of people-pleasing, emotional blackmail, and the paralyzing fear of hurting others, especially when burdened by family trauma, financial instability, and the loss of a father, while learning to set boundaries and find inner peace without succumbing to depression or isolation? ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ปโจ
I understand that all this has led to a certain degree of suppression and hesitation in your life. What you need is a mentor whom
If one has always experienced a childhood intimacy with Krishna as a friend and playmate, what does it signify when a natural, gradual shift occurs toward Mahadev (Shiva), and how can this “sneaking in” of a new divine presence be understood as an evolution of the soul’s relationship with the Divine rather than a replacement of the old? ๐ช๐ฆ๐๐๐๏ธ๐
Sri Krishna and Shiva are two aspects of the One Divine Being. Sri Krishna fills our life with sweetness, beauty and love when he first
I have desire and fear that covered up the small aspiration to love, and that is why I feel this has happened. But this is not the truth deeper within anybody, and I want to have beautiful feelings and thoughts and to love spontaneously. Everyone has truth and love within them, why should I cover it up with a scared imitation of the actual thing? I think I am not yet that open to Mother and Sri Aurobindo.โจ๐๐โพ๏ธ
We are all made up of different parts that pull in different directions and hence it is quite common to have certain self-contradictory elements within
Throughout in SAVITRI Sri Aurobindo has used PRONOUNS extensively. To understand him, it is very important to identify which common or proper NOUN he is referring to by the particular PRONOUN.ย Sometimes it really becomes a a riddle to guess what NOUN he is referring to by that particular PRONOUN.๐ฅ๐๐ชท๐๏ธ
Actually you have got all of them correct by tracing back to the passage and the connecting links.
