Dada, due to some exchange of harsh words in a patha chakra a few months back, who is twenty-five years younger than me, I could not sustain the shock, and, it is still continuing within me. I could not say a word to him due to his status.🙏🏻🌿[…]
What better remedy for a devotee than the name of the Divine Mother and faith in Her Grace. How does the remark and criticism of
In the long poem ‘Krishna’, Sri Aurobindo writes the following sentence: Two in One, Two who know difference rich in sense, Two to clasp, One to be, this His strange mystery. Here, ‘Two’ means who, really? 🕉️✨
As we see in the poem itself, Sri Aurobindo describes these two aspects of Sri Krishna. One is the Universal or Cosmic Divine hidden in
I feel completely lost on my path and overwhelmed by academic and inner struggles that may force me to leave my PhD. Unable to burden my parents, I carry this pain alone, yet whenever I look at the Mother’s photograph, an intense guilt arises that my mistakes are too many and that it is too late to fix anything. 🙏🏻💛[…]
One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her
Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI. People across the globe are sharing their existential condition of living in perpetual anxiety, anticipating the inevitable doom and whatnot. 🤖🕊️[…]
One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates
Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. 🪞🙏🏻[…]
Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of
I would firstly express my deepest gratitude towards you for having conducted such an enriching and insightful Study Camp in Gurgaon. Your deep and insightful explanations made difficult topics like Divine Leela and the new Creation so simple to understand for beginners like me. 📖🕉️ […]
In the image of the Gita, buddhi is like the charioteer that holds the reins of the Mind or, if you use a modern image,
I have been in my job a long time; it suits my temperament, offers a good work-life balance, and I try to do it in the spirit of the Mother’s yoga, focusing on inner growth and sincere offering rather than external rewards. 💼🌱[…]
This is just the perfect approach and the right attitude you have taken from the perspective of yoga. It will give you time, space and
How can I be kind, loving, and non-violent towards someone whom I feel hurt by? Especially in close relationships, it becomes difficult for me to remain non-reactive. I really do want to be loving despite what the other person has done, but I end up angry and resentful, which only makes my situation worse. My ‘want’ or ‘will’, no matter how strong it is, to still be loving and compassionate doesn’t help me. 🤝💛
Being kind, loving and compassionate may or may not help the other person but it will certainly help you. Our body and mind respond to
How to remove this mental pride? 🌱🙏🏻
The mind itself can get rid of it once it understands its limits and limitations. In fact reading Sri Aurobindo itself helps us to grow
Mother answers to one of the disciples: Yes, it is morally true, and one day it will also be physically true. Can we say the same about the triumph of Savitri over Death? That the bringing back to life of Satyavan was a spiritual truth, and it is a matter of time that it will become physical truth as well? 🌅✨
Yes, absolutely. These stories indicate the opening of a door of possibility for earthly life. In fact, traditionally, after this vrat, the story of Savitri
Earlier, I read spiritual texts out of an obsessive intellectual curiosity without truly grasping their essence, but I now rely on the Mother’s Grace, simply praying for Her to impart whatever I need whenever I feel overwhelmed by Sri Aurobindo’s writings. 📖🙏🏻[…]
Laziness can set in by reading also if it does not translate into practice. Reading is the first step, work as sewa (service) is the
Dear Sir, early this morning, while half-asleep, I had a vivid thought or dream about Shesha; I saw the colossal serpent Shesha floating in the dark cosmos. I began reflecting on the symbolism: Vishnu is the sole ultimate reality and we are merely his projections or acts in his divine play; does that make our individual identities completely false? 🐍🌌[…]
Sesh Nag with a thousand which holds the planetary system is clearly the force of unfolding Time. Ksheersagar, the ocean of milk is the expanding
We just had a baby boy. We are thinking of a name for our little one. Now, we want to keep a name that has a vibration that resonates with his soul. Now, I am doing my best to find what resonates. But things like rashi and numerology are being suggested by family.👶🌼🙏🏼[…]
If you wish you may send me the photograph of the child and the rashis suggested. I can suggest few names.
How can we choose a conscious name for our baby? I believe that every name carries its own vibration. During my pregnancy, Truth kept coming to me very strongly. It felt meaningful to me. According to astrology, the suggested starting letters for his name is K, Cha, Bha, Dha. How can we choose a name that resonates with his soul? 👶✨🙏🏼
The name that resonates with the soul cannot be found by astrological suggestions. Astrology deals with the surface events and outer situations, what is generally
Part of the reason for dissatisfaction is the perpetual busyness of my work. It’s always excessively busy. You know it’s been 10 years since I received a promotion or some sort of formal recognition at work. During this time, scores of my friends and peers have moved up and are now seasoned principals, while I am stuck in limbo. 🕊️🌿🙏🏼 […]
Life upon earth is far from perfect at present and for long time. It is just the sphere of imperfection that changes. There are people
Why do so many cling to partnerships and parade happy photos abroad, as if solitude would break them? I see college friends who seemed aimless now grounded with a spouse and child, while those who stayed single often ended up carrying the baggage of toxic relationships. Is companionship genuine fulfillment, or just a mutual crutch for stability? 💞🌱🙏🏼
Happiness? Is it even a goal worth pursuing? Happiness is a given in life, from the pig rolling in mud to the monkey swinging on
Question regarding turning towards God: Respected Alok Da, Pranam. You wrote: Turning towards God means desiring God not for the fulfillment of one’s own wishes, but because of His loving nature. However, prayers are usually offered with the desire to obtain something from God, rather than for God Himself. 🙏🏼📿🕊️[…]
To turn towards the Divine means to engage with Him in some way. The most natural way is to hear, read, think and meditate upon
Please help me understand what The Mother means by “we must do something useful for others” in Her response to this question: “What is my place in the universal work? ” (14 May 1912 – CWM – Words of Long Ago – The Incarnate Word). 🤝🌱🙏🏼[…]
Being helpful to others means to help people in their need. An unasked help often works like an unsolicited advice.
Besides, being useful does
