Could you please guide me on how I can shift this concentration to the Heart Centre?Β This is more on the personal front. In the readings of Sri Aurobindo thus far – and in your talks – there is a gentle nudge to gradually shift the Concentration to the Heart Centre in order to open the Psychic.Β ππ§π―[β¦]
It comes with practice. I myself encountered this difficulty initially since I used to practice, like most persons, concentration in the forehead. While shifting it
How does one maintain the right balance while the Psychic Being opens slowly and the contact fluctuates, especially during the initial “ignition” phase where caution is required to avoid overwhelming the body before a concrete establishment is made? β¨ππͺπ¦’
The psychic contact as well as the contact with the higher planes of consciousness is invariably a gradual process because of the need for the
The way forward lies in The Ancient Spiritual Wisdom of India. I would like to know your opinion on the act of digging up of mosques to unearth Ancient temples. Will it help in expanding the consciousness? Does this act have any Spiritual justification?
If we take spirituality as a pursuit of individual in his journey towards the highest then any kind of politics has little value except as
I would like to ask why does our Awareness in sadna collapse when life becomes difficult ? When we get upset, anger, insulted etc … And it becomes a turmoil for some moments. π§ποΈβ¨πͺοΈ
It (the lapses in sadhana) happens to everybody because we are not made up of one piece. There are different parts in us, some are
When one experiencing the divine, is he forgetting the outer consciousness? When he returns to the consciousness still he is feeling the contradiction of outer nature or not? I suppose that’s why they preach sanyas so that the person control these lower activities by the help of will. Am i right?ποΈβπ¨οΈππ€οΈπ«οΈ
All these experiences clearly indicate that you are on the right track. The joy, peace, wideness above the head are all signs of ascension to
I also do not have any desire for salvation, nor do I have any expectation of any siddhi. I have only one feeling in me that I belong to mother, may my life be of some use to her, may her dream which she had seen for this earth at the time of creation be fulfilled.
This bhaav, this feeling and aspiration will take you through everything. Doubts will come and go but the light of faith eventually shines through it
One aspect is living moment to moment with complete faith and surrender and see what life brings to you and the other is what mother says – that we should have a goal in life. For this you need to connect, network etc ..πππ
They are truths of two different levels and stages of inner development. But first we should correct our impression vis a vis what The Mother
Has Sri Aurobindo’s experiment of bringing the supramental force to the world, with the aim of eliminating poverty, ignorance, and falsehood, achieved its intended outcome? Given that the world still struggles with cruelty, greed, and insecurity 75 years after his time, can it be said that his efforts have made a significant impact?πͺ·ππ
The first thing that we need to understand is that the Supramental does not work in the human way, its action is not based on
In Hinduism we have the Gita, Mahabharata and Ramaayana. I have found online series for the Mahabharata and Ramaayana which is helpful. Then we also have the Vedic texts. But the other texts I donβt quite understand where it fits and what each one is. So what are: The Upanishads Shashtras Tantras Susutras?And many stories you mention in your videos (for example churning of the oceans) – where do I read these stories? I would also like to read a validated English translation of the Vedas and Upanishads – any recommendations would be helpful. The essence of the questions is to gain a better picture of where each text fits in and a brief understanding of what each one entails for a sense of direction in my learning.
In Hinduism we have two basic type of spiritual texts or Shaastras namely the Shrutis (that which is heard) and Smritis (that which is remembered).
How does one understand the language of dreams? Do you feel that this is a gift bestowed by graceβone that, if mastered, could be utilized to further one’s own spiritual practice and in the service of the Mother? I feel that in my dreams, I am able to perceive the hidden truths lying behind the masks people wearβyet, I am unable to fully comprehend them.π€πππ
Yes dreams have a language of their own. It is with practice that one begins to decipher them. Of course there are a lot of
What is purifications? What are the preparations? I have no idea. Please point me in the direction of resources. I don’t want to sound dramatic, but the whole purpose of my life now seems to be love, serve and manifest the Divine. I want to do, as would be feasible on my part as I keep growing, to aid the Mahashakti in simple the greatest task ever undertaken.Β πͺ·π€ππ
Coming to the question of purification, at first we have to identify the crude impurities, the most evident forms of ego and gross desires manifest
If a person engage himself in sports/ physical activities & some creative activities & also in meditation reading a habit of mother Sri Aurobindo books. Then are there any chance of sperm leakage from the body? Or in these case also this fluid want to seek some outlet path?π§πͺ·π
Sperms don’t create a new body. They are simply packed energy like a Zipfile encoded to build the present human body. By throwing it out

The Mother often used to meet Sri Aurobindo and seek his guidance in the affairs of Ashram. It was said that Sri Aurobindo was present in the Ashram in Subtle Physical plane.β¨πΈοΈπ«οΈβ‘
Yes. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have their permanent dwelling in the subtle physical plane. It is right behind the gross physical world (sthool jagat),
It has been known since ancient times that there is Something by knowing which all else is known. Yasmin vijnate vijnati sarvam. Yet, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have revealed to us so many things that were not known before, or not so precisely known before. This idea came to me while reading the Mother’s answer on what is the work of the psychic being (CWM 6 9 June 1954). How did She know the way in which our earth is so special? Was it so fully and precisely known to the seers of the past? π€β¨β€οΈπ¦
This seems to indicate that ‘Yasmin vijnate vijnati sarvam’ is only true about what is manifested by the Divine Mother in the universe as a
The murder of Mulashankar, a personal attendant of Sri Aurobindo, has been troubling my mind deeply. Why did a sadhak like him have to face such a horrific death? Why did the Grace and spiritual protection of the Masters not save him?π©Έπͺππͺ·
It was indeed a troubling incidence for everybody. It was a time when all over India there were many incidents immediately post partition. In Pondicherry
I feel so stressed that I couldn’t have complete faith in the Mother. Even after she, doing everything for me, I am unable to believe in her. Why such things happen? I thought I’m open to her…but why even smallest incidents are shaking my entire system. Even mentally I couldn’t call her and loosing my faith, all these doubts and questions from myself makes me depressed. How I can have a complete faith always?πΉπ―οΈππ£
This happens because we are not made up of one piece. There are different parts in us and often they are in different degree of
My relationship with my parents have been really harsh and distant these days. Both of our beliefs seem to clash and I really want them to let go of the fear and material beliefs they hold but due to my stubbornness of making them understand and theirs of keeping the belief we fight a lot and they feel like I am disrespecting them and things don’t ever seem to fall in place.π¨βπ©βπ§βοΈπ
It is very difficult to explain one’s own beliefs to anyone. These elements are like personal treasure and sharing them with others, especially those who
