We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
My question is: in all religions, there is a concept of calling out to God in a time of need, anxiety, or other tough states of mind. My question is, calling out to The Mother in such a time, is it more a request for direct intercession (like Prahlad and Lord Narasimha) or more a reminder to ourselves to be less fearful? 👑🌌♾️🛡️
All religions do not believe in the intercession of God in human affairs. Religions like Buddhism and Jainism do not even believe in ‘God’. Vedanta
Jai Maa Alok Daa. I wanted your guidance. A few months back, I had a dream where I saw Mother coming towards me with a luminous white light. But the problem is that I got scared and opened my eyes, and I was shaken. Why did this happen? It was a good dream, and I should have been happy to see Maa. What could be the reason for this fear inside me? I want to call Maa to my side again. Please guide me on what I should do.💤😴🌙💭
It is the ego-individuality that shrinks at the contact of the Divine as it is afraid of losing itself. It is not uncommon for the
Do Elves, Gnomes, and other such beings have a physical-material body? We hear stories of them acting directly on physical objects, like fixing machines and taking care of gardens.. wouldn’t vital beings require a medium? If any such beings are around, would we be able to see them with our physical eyes, without requiring any special capacities? Can they be photographed? In one of your talks you said that a being from other world can materialise for a short while, but they would be uncomfortable here. Is that proper-physical matter with Mass, that can be seen, touched etc…🧘✨🌈🧬⚡
These beings belong to the subtle physical world very close to the material. If the physical senses are developed one may sometimes catch a hurried
Mother mentions ‘equality does not mean indifference’. Please explain how to differentiate between equality and indifference.⚖️🟰🤝🫶
Indifference is useful to develop equality. It is a tool, one of the processes, not equality itself. Indifference helps us not to react to the
The fulfillment of human life is by attaining all Purusharthas, Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha. Then Human life fulfills its purpose. Where as by The birth of Superman from human, The Srishti , the creation itself fulfills its Divine purpose of manifestation. So one can finish his life as a fulfilled human existence or evolve further into Superman by fulfilling The Divine purpose in manifestation. If so, please tell me if I am right? ⚡🌤️🪷🌌
There are different ways of looking at it. But the simplest of these is that ‘he who choses the Infinite has been chosen by the
In my college, I have a friend who is a good person, but she often speaks in a low-energy, negative way—mainly complaining, criticizing, or focusing on things she wants but doesn’t have. I’ve tried explaining that this kind of conversation affects me and makes me uncomfortable, but there hasn’t been much change. Even after keeping some distance, she doesn’t seem to understand. Whenever we meet, either I end up hurting her by not engaging much, or she starts the same low-energy conversations again. I don’t want to hurt her, but I’m not sure how to handle the situation.🙄🗣️🙅♀️☁️
You can try explaining to her that a critical negative attitude towards others harms both. It only strengthens this tendency. Everyone has their faults and
Thank you very much Alok da – this is very helpful. As a westerner reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother alone here in Canada, I don’t always understand references that are made in the writings or podcasts. I came to Sri Aurobindo through the writings of Ken Wilber and find really no need for any other writings than the words of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. I have found your books and podcasts very helpful in trying to understand them both. Thank you once again.📜📚✍️☀️
Yes their books are complete in itself, honey combs extracted from the treasure trove of the gods.
I wish if I could somehow know what The Mother is Saying to Me Or Telling Me to Do, that If I Could Really Know…🪷🌹🌌🤍
To know what the Divine is saying requires an inner quietude and peace that comes by removing the noise of desires. The Divine does not
We want to visit Auroville, me and my husband🟡🪷🧘🚲
Anyone can visit Auroville. But for the details of the available guest houses on the proposed dates as well as booking for the Matrimandir you
Last night I had a dream where I, along with my two cousins (one brother and one sister), went to the market to buy some things. First, he gave me a bag full of screws and nut bolt openers, saying they would be useful to me. Then I started to defecate there, and my sister said that her baby was about to be born. She then gave birth to a baby right there. The baby didn’t cry when it was born; instead, it smiled. I said it was a boy, but he wasn’t crying at all, he was completely silent. I was wondering why he wasn’t crying.🌙🌃😴💤
The dream indicates a ‘purge’, a release of certain unwanted energies and at the same time birth of new possibilities, perhaps as the result of
Can you please tell me how to recite or do sadhana of Sri Aurobindo Gayatri mantra?🪷☀️❤️🔥📿
There is no fixed way to recite the Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri though you will find quite a few on the YouTube. More important is to
“This yoga is a special way to high and difficult spiritual achievment. It is given only when there is sufficent capacity or an irrestible call.” Is this statement true? Since Sri Aurobindo and The Mother not in physical body, who will see the evidence and who will give?🔔🌅🧘🛤️
Yes. Very much so. There was always the practice of adhikar bheda in the Yoga. Here it is recognised by the call for the Yoga.
Are friendships necessary – I feel my friends are slightly offensive – put me down – don’t want to acknowledge me for me – I used to be very available before ! Listen to their every problem try solve it. Now I don’t. It’s negative. Draining. 🧑🤝🧑💔💥🖤
Nothing is necessary in life. It is a question of temperament. Some like to have friends, others prefer to be alone. But whether one has
With what attitude should one console himself when he has lent money to another person and has been cheated by that person (as the person did not return that money)? Or in case when a landlord’s property has been usurped by the tenant. How should the landlord ease his distress in such a situation?🤑💵💸💰
First we should learn the lessons. All this happens because we live half consciously without understanding human nature and the rules of the game of
It’s only because Sri Aurobindo’s conscious will entered into it — left one body and entered the other…. I was standing facing his body, you know, and I materially felt the friction as his will entered into me (his knowledge and his will)”You will accomplish my Work.” He said to this body: “You will accomplish my Work.” It’s the one thing that kept me alive…so my question is: Why couldn’t The Mother become Physically Immortal?♾️🦅🦚🔥
Immortal in this sense means the supramental transformation.
It is difficult to say whether it was completed or not. I have spoken about it
Sir, I am facing some difficulty. This mind comes between Sweet Mother and me, which affects the faith in Her. When it becomes cool, then everything becomes right. When I write a diary to Divine Mother this mind becomes more active. 🪷🕊️🦢🌹[…]
Read the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and try to focus on the heart thinking of the Mother. Call for Peace and when
How to be involved in day-to-day activities with a mind engaged in consecration to the Divine, as one can focus on one thing at a time, or what should be the state of mind during worldly activities? Or how to constantly have the remembrance of the Divine during worldly affairs?🎯🧐🤔🧠🏹[…]
It is natural that this would happen in the beginning. What one should practice initially is to remember the Divine inwardly before and after the
