I strive to remember Sri MA and offer my actions throughout the day, yet I often worry that this consecration is merely mental rather than rising spontaneously from the heart. Should I persist with this conscious practice even when it feels mechanical, or am I being insincere by “forcing” what isn’t yet deeply felt? 🌸🕯️⚖️🙏🏻[…]
What you are doing and experiencing is remarkable for your age. It is a sign that you are connecting the psychic threads of your past
Following the recent collapse of my marriage, home, and livelihood, I feel this dismantling may be Divine Grace clearing away old attachments to make space for what my soul truly seeks. Through all this loss, an inner pull toward simplicity, service, and a life centered on Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA has only deepened. 🌪️🕊️🌸🙏🏻[…]
It often happens that just before we make an exceptional progress or soon thereafter, a sudden unexpected difficulty props us. It is like a test
Dear Sir, why is Goddess Durga called Mahishasura Mardini, signifying the crushing or subduing of the demon (mardan), rather than using a term for direct killing (vadh), and what is the spiritual significance of choosing absolute subjugation over simple destruction? We see a similar scene in Shiva’s subjugation of Apasmara and the containment of Raktabeeja. 🛡️⚔️🔥🙏🏻
It is a very interesting and true observation that many are not aware of. This question was asked to The Mother and here is what
It’s not advisable to get into a business partnership with someone who wants to use you for your qualities, right? Sees a chance/opportunity in you to get something for themselves. 🤝💼⚖️🙏🏻
But business world is about that. Most businessmen instinctively look for the benefits, first their own and then of others. Some take risks and few
Since Diwali/ Kali Puja is around the corner, I have a question regarding Maa Kali and an aphorism of Sri Aurobindo. I have not understood the message in the aphorism below: 428—I did not know for some time whether I loved Krishna best or Kali; when I loved Kali, it was loving myself, but when I loved Krishna, I loved another, and still it was myself with whom I was in love. Therefore, I came to love Krishna better even than Kali. ⚫💙🔥🙏🏻 […]
You might have read or heard the the famous aphorism of Kabir about whom should he love more, the Guru who led him to Gobind.
I want to know about the significance of Diwali… and what we should do on this day? 🪔🔥🌸🙏🏻
Deepawali is associated with a number of stories that work as themes and reminders to the collective memory of the race. Through these memories they
If the mind attains a Sattwic state, becomes a Sthitaprajna, or embodies the qualities of a Bhakta or Gyani from the Gita, can it be considered a true Divine Mind? What kind of intellect truly manifests and expresses the Divine consciousness? I would be grateful for your clarification on this distinction. 🧠🕉️✨🙏🏻
The mind of the gyani, of the stithpragya, is the mind unaffected by the world around. It is a mind that is inwardly concentrated upon,
When I got to know about Mother and Sri Aurobindo through one of my teachers, I was attracted towards Krishna because I felt that he will accept me as I am. I read the writings of Mother. But never felt a pull towards Mother or Sri Aurobindo. But 1-2 years ago, my heart has a longing and I felt the word “Maa”. So now I go to Maa. Sir, could you shed light on this state? 🌸💙🕊️🙏🏻
Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are one but the approach is different for each one. Sri Krishna is the Divine as friend who counsels us
What’s meant by Swadhyaya? Is it merely reading scriptures or one’s own realisation? When time permits, please explain. 📖🔍🕯️🙏🏻
Swadhyaya literally means study of oneself. But practically it means study of oneself with the help of a scripture. That after all is the real
What kind of purity is expected from us by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo and in your talks you mentioned that The Mother tells us to avoid ascetic purity, What is it and how to avoid it? 🌿⚖️🕊️🙏🏻
True purity is to be completely under the Divine Influence. It means to act only under the influence of the Divine Will. To arrive at
My mind has been in deep distress for the last few days. There were different parts of me trying to justify multiple things. ⚖️🔥🌸🙏🏻 […]
All that you need to remember always is that you are The Mother’s child. Have faith in Her and She will carry you through everything.
Whenever something terrifying or something that I fear happens or I think of it happening, for example, my JEE exam- my preparation was not up to the mark when it was time for my exams. And I obviously wanted a good college, but also financial conditions were not that good either. 📚🎯🕊️🙏🏻[…]
It always helps to keep the larger picture and the greater goal in front. Thus, for example, exams are a step on the way, not
I don’t really know what is meant by feeling the presence of the Mother in the heart, or around the Samadhi. The best is I experience a subjective emotional feeling that the Mother is directly looking at me from the photograph. 🌸🕯️🧘🙏🏻 […]
The Divine Presence is known through identity and its attendant results. The sense of the false and limited I, the constructed ego-self in which we
How can we detach our true awareness [the observant guide] from the vital ego-mental behaviour? And why is it necessary? 👁️🕊️🔥🙏🏻
Without detachment we remain attached and moved by all kinds of forces circulating in the field of human ignorance. We mistake every suggestion, every thought,
I wanted to ask you about the right amount and timing of sleep. Whenever I wake up, I often find myself confused between two thoughts: either I feel that I should sleep a little longer because my sleep is not complete, or, if I do go back to sleep, I later feel that I have wasted my time because of laziness. 😴🌅⏰🙏🏻 […]
The average sleep requirements vary between 6 to 9 hours with 7 hours as a good common ground.
The best timings are to sleep
I am grateful for your guidance in this situation. Alok da, I feel that remaining silent, offering the hurt to the Divine, and praying for peace within myself and others would be easier for me. But I have one doubt: what if the other person interprets my silence as weakness and continues to hurt or insult me? 🕊️🛡️🌿🙏🏻[…]
Those who indulge in hurting others are already hurtling downwards. They will continue to do what they are habituated to doing. Leave them to their
I’m truly grateful to Sri Aurobindo. On this special day, He gave me a reassurance through you. Truly, my spiritual destiny seems to be lost at this point in time. Hence no sign of anything deep or true. But yes, I understand I must believe in my Spiritual destiny and also not postpone it. 🌅🕯️🙏🏻
The spiritual destiny is never lost. It may be delayed but never lost.
I have been experiencing some discomfort at work over the past few months. A colleague, who joined two years ago, often speaks negatively about me and others behind our backs, while maintaining a cordial attitude in person. 💼🕊️🛡️🙏🏻[…]
This is not uncommon in a company setup. There are always rotten apples that spoil the lot by their excessive ambition. Thinking about them infects
