What happens when two people in a relationship have an unequal (one person is extremely attracted, the other may feel some attraction but not to the same extent) amount of love towards each other? Is love a necessary prerequisite for living happily together, or is being simply comfortable and at peace around another person enough for this purpose🤨?
Love is everywhere and in everything. But if you mean human love then yes it works best if there is affinity at different levels. Attraction,

Could you please explain what exactly these three forces are in the passage from Life Divine🤔? All our activities are the play of the triple force of the old philosophies, knowledge-force, desire-force, action-force, and all these prove to be really three streams of one original and identical Power, Adya Shakti. Even our states of rest are only equable state or equilibrium of the play of her movement…

I was reading a book by Mr Narendra Murthy, The atoms are made up of Electron, Neutron and proton, and they are made up of Hadrons. And the Hadrons are made up of nothing! Is it true ? That even the science doesn’t know the very physicality of the universe? Is the essence of the hadron which scientists claim empty is Brahman🤨?
It simply means that Science as of now does not know what hadrons are made up of. After all the inability to discover something does
It’s said “Our body, a charriot, senses horses, the rope mind, Bhuddi The Charioteer Sri Krishna driving the Soul to its destination. ” By gyana ( BG) Sri Krishna enlightens The Jiva, while He himself is conducting Arjuna’s battle of life, when The Soul has surrendered. Then what’s The need of The Divine Mother? What is Her role along with Sri Krishna? in enlightening Arjuna? So in the chariot and charioteer context the role of Divine Mother doesn’t appear? So the role of the Divine Mother is not an essential condition for moksha? Here I am not referring” Integral yoga” where The Divine Mother plays The Key Role. About generally for liberation, how important the concept of The Divine Mother, Moola Prakruthi? Please clarify when you get time🙏
If you ask this question to Sri Krishna, he would perhaps reply that where is my Power to save and liberate coming from? He will
In Rajyoga, it is taught that we should think positively even about those who behave negatively. Just as we offer blessings to someone who is physically ill, we should also extend forgiveness and compassion to those who are emotionally or spiritually unwell. Rajyoga emphasizes the power of pure thoughts, inner peace, and soul consciousness. By connecting with the Supreme through meditation, we cultivate virtues like patience, kindness, and detachment, allowing us to remain stable and loving even in the face of negativity. What are your thoughts on this and how much this is aligned to Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga?
Yes it is a very helpful practice and is quite aligned to Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga. It helps in a preliminary purification. It is a cultivation

Please clear one of my doubts as it is not getting clear by the above reply i.e. is everyone has to pass through these stages of Pashu, Pisacha, Pramatha, Rakshasa, Asura, Deva, Siddha one by one or there also may be a case where one leaps directly from Pashu or Pisacha to Deva and Siddha without undergoing the middle stages of Pramatha, Rakshasa or Asura? What is the meaning of Pramatha? What is the difference between Pisacha, Rakshasa and Asura🤨?
Pramathas are beings who live by the senses. You will find plenty all around. Pisachas are those who live in the lower vital worlds and
When’s the divine realization will be permanently settled? Spontaneously it comes and going their. When I loose the contact I have not feel any happy. I feel that i am losing my precious things. After lose this contact difficulties comes again in a huge way but something is inside that doesn’t affected by the difficulties. Spontaneously outer conscious running in my mind and in silence spontaneously naam jaap going with the respiration🤔.
Have patience and trust in the Grace. What you are having are some experiences on the way. The Divine realisation is a far off thing.
I was reading these lines on the functionality of subtle matter from Savitri🕊️: This wonderworld with all its radiant boon Of vision and inviolate happiness, Only for expression cares and perfect form; Fair on its peaks, it has dangerous nether planes
Absolutely. In fact none of the inner worlds care about right or wrong which is uniquely a human concept. The world of glamour is full

What does Mother mean here: “If you are vigilant, if your attention is alert, you will certainly receive…an inspiration of what is to be done and that you must forthwith proceed to do.” [Questions and Answers 1929 (21 April)]🤔

I believe there is still hope for Europe to change, since countries like Italy and Sweden are beginning to raise their voice against the Deep State. However, I don’t see how Islam can be saved at present, since they are still resisting tooth and nail. I too want to see true unity between the two communities in India but sadly our so-called intellectual elite are trying to force an artificial peace on us. Fortunately, I have seen the younger generation resist it and it gives me hope for the country’s future 🤨
Yes, these voices that are able to see through the facade are the hope. As to Islam it has entered in a self destructive mode.
Also you said-“These are man’s beginnings. He rises by the descent of ever higher types of Manu from the Bhuvarloka,—first he is Pashu, then Pishacha, then Pramatha, then Rakshasa, then Asura, then Deva, then Siddha. So he ascends the ladder of his own being towards the Sat Purusha.’ Are these the 7 levels through which the soul evolves? Does everyone has to ascend through this ladder one by one or there can be a leap possible🤔? Please elaborate.
This ascension through successive lives from one grade to another was the idea behind Chaturvarnya, the fourfold soul types, soul involved in Matter (Shudra), soul
Last night I again had a dream in which a river flows out and after seeing it I say what kind of river is this flowing out of the Himalayas whose water is so clear and that river is flowing over a straight rock then I see that a sheep and a man are standing on top of that river and going along with the river then after seeing them I also stand on top of the river and it seems as if I am skating on the river and I was very happy🙂.
Beautiful journey through the higher vital worlds under the psychic influence as the pure water and the smooth flow indicates.
