My father expired on 7 Aug 2025 at 3.45 pm did he get mokha. Is his soul happy ?๐๐๏ธโ๏ธโ๐ฅ
Moksha is to be found in life. One gets moksha while living and not after death. It is difficult to say without an active contact
How’s Aspiration different from Prayer? I mean, is praying for knowledge and bhakti not similar to aspiration?๐๏ธโจโค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ช
The difference between prayer and aspiration is mainly the seat of origin and the form it takes. Prayers generally originate from the mind and take
Dear Alokda, Can you please tell me how I reject this type of music and can you also tell me some good music which can help in Sadhana and staying close to the Divine Mother? I love listening to music, have explored a lot of genres but I end up going back to listen to western Hippop a lot. But my inner conscience is not happy with the type of lyrics that I hear, because all they talk about is money, women, violence, drugs and other asuric characteristics . On other side there is a bit gentler melodic music in which they sing about being caught up in emotions, attachment and hopelessness. ๐ต๐ถ๐ง๐ค
I am glad you have understood the concept very well. It is a common confusion because each age is flooded with the most popular music
What do u feel on tarot and all these prediction based things.. is there any truth and reality in them. I had consulted a few and mostly I see their answers are negative when it comes to other people and relationships.. sometimes it helped as it was self assertive when it was only about me..What are your thoughts on it?ย ๐ด๐๐ฎ๐
These predictions whether through astrology or tarrot only indicate possibilities. They dip into the person’s subconscious mind or else try to read the notation of
What is falsehood, how to free ourselves from it?โ๐๐ญ๐คฅโ๏ธโ๐ฅ
Falsehood is all that opposes the Truth, either directly or by imitating it. Truth, in the spiritual sense is not what the senses report, that
My question is on the part where you mentioned about people who sacrifice for greater love like creative writersย or leaders. In the closing sentence, you mention social duty. Please clarify my misunderstanding – I have always considered sacrificing for nation or inspiring others as social duty. What qualifies as a social duty? And how can one become a sacrifice and another an attachment?ย ๐๏ธ๐๐ฅ๐ค
Social duties are primarily those born out of social relationships as an accepted convention in a given society. They are not truth but they help
“All depends on what you want. If you want Yoga, take all that happens as the expression of the Divine Grace leading you towards your goal, and try to understand the lesson that circumstances give.” (The Mother) My question – is it fine, if while trying to ‘understand the lesson’, we make mistakes? I mean to ask, if we misinterpret the lesson, will the Divine take care of it?โจ๐ก๏ธ๐๐น
To the Divine Consciousness there are no mistakes. Human beings go through the experiences, pleasant and painful due to the Ignorance in which they live.
Da I โโam not able to understand anything, I am feeling blank, I want to say a lot. I want to mail you in detail, I want to say everything but I am not able to write. I feel like coming face to face and saying it but right now that is not possible. I am feeling a lot of pain, I feel like leaving everything and going away, I am tired. I don’t want to understand anyone anymore, I am not able to do it anymore. What is happening to me?๐ด๐ค๐ฅฑ๐ตโ๐ซ
I can understand your state and what you must be going through. It is unfortunately the fate of most human love because it is based
I ย have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?๐ช๐โธ๏ธ๐
Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the
When I look at Sri Aurobindo, my mind gets concentrated on his left eye and then that eye of his seems as if it is looking at me like Mahakaal (the destroyer) and I like his looking at me like that and sometimes it happens that during the day while serving, that eye suddenly starts appearing on my third eye and when I bow to him, then that eye starts appearing, that means it happens many times during the day that his eye appears on my third eye. Is this because of looking at his picture too much or is it a true experience?๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ๐ฑ๐๏ธ๐ฅ
Experiences, however subjective they may be always carry a truth within them. It is just that the interference of the ego and desires builds a
At present, I feel confused about what path to take and what kind of work would be suitable for me considering my health condition and educational background. It has been my heartfelt aspiration to live in Pondicherry, as I feel deeply connected to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I stayed in Pondicherry for one and a half years earlier and now ๐ชท๐ณโ๏ธ๐ค
One doesnโt need to live in Pondicherry or join the Ashram to pursue the goal of Integral Yoga. It is only if one has the

My sisterโs friend who is just 35 years old passed away a week back in cardiac arrest . Whole family is in shock. She was healthy with no record of physical issues. She is a very soft, helpful and good soul. She has an 8 year old son whom she was very attached to and the child was also very attached to her. She was the only one who wholly was taking care of that child without husband involvement. Why did her soul choose to leave so early even though she had the desire to take of her son and attachment to live ? How is this justifiable to that small kid from a spiritual point of view?๐๏ธ๐ค๐ฅ๐
Justifiable to whom? The soul of the child might want to go through certain experiences. The soul of the mother, as is most likely in
A Road Trip The GPS and the road rules(dharma) The actual driving and the fuel consumed(karma). Dharma is the “why” and “what should be” (the code), while Karma is the “how” and “what is” (the execution). dharma acts as a self-correcting mechanism for cosmic order.โธ๏ธ ๐ฃ๏ธ๐๐งญ
Very nicely put. Dharma is the power that sets the wheel in motion. At the centre of the wheel is the Lord, the Witness, the
What is this phenomenon, and why does this happen and more importantly how can watch shows or movies in a detached way? I had a question regarding movies. I like watching different movies. But I have noticed that whenever I watch movies it has an effect like I have become the character so I feel the feelings of the character. ๐ฌ๐๏ธ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฟ

Because of the worst possible turn of events, a lady suffered unbearable pain because of me. Because of this, I have become socially outcast and isolated. It feels worse when thoughts like ‘no one ever calls me’ come to me. Such thoughts make me unhappy.๐งโฆ ๐ฅ๐ต๐ฝ

People here are calling me a gossip monger because I happened to have confided into a few people (X & Y) around me about how another person(Z) ‘s behavior made me feel bad at a point of time. I never told that Z is bad but told I felt bad because of Z. I feel there is a difference between the two. I am feeling drained here at my workplace What to do, Alok Da? Kindly tell๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ๐๐ข
