We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.ย
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
I am planning to leave my Job for one year and want to dedicate this time to being with God. I got the Savitri a year ago and have read some of Mother’s words in a few books. I want to make the most of this time; the only purpose is to be with the ONE and then after one year, whatever Maa decides, I will do that. ๐๐๐ป […]
It is a beautiful aspiration and I fully endorse it. May The Mother carry you on the path surrounded by Her Love and Grace.
Alok ji, I’ve been disturbed for the last two days. I’m not sure if this is something relevant to seek guidance on or not. I’m staying in Delhi for my studies. Yesterday evening, the man is staying on the upper floor above us has physically and verbally assaulted me. ๐ก๏ธ๐๐ป […]
Let us not complicate the issue by bringing too many things into consideration. Let us stay focused on the incident. Police etc is meaningless here
Currently Iโm in a big corporate job. I have received an offer from a startup which might be more strenuous in terms of work but aligns with my interests. I have been struggling with big corporate politics for the last 2 years and my inner being has been feeling suffocated. ๐งญ๐ฑ […]
The Mother’s Will is imbuilt in our system and works as a secret driving force from within. The Gita calls it swabhava and swadharma. This
During our recent visit, my 9-year-old daughter felt deeply ignored and rejected, eventually storming off without any comfort from my sisterโs family. Watching her little heart break left me feeling angry, confused, and deeply heartbroken, especially since they are our only family. ๐ฑ๐[…]
I can completely understand your feelings. You can look at it in two ways. One way is to see it with the natural protective instinct
Iโm having a lot of gas and bloating despite walking regularly and trying home remedies. Allopathic medicines tend to upset my stomach, and homeopathy hasnโt been very effective either. Could you please suggest a safe medicine or tablet specifically for gas that is gentle on the stomach? ๐ฉบ
I am afraid I cannot advice anything on medical issues and health conditions. You need to see a doctor and go by his advice.
HERE IS NO DIVINE INTERVENTION. The powerful eat the powerless, money eats the poor, and there is no justice. All humanity has ever done is fuel the idea that some god is coming to save them. ๐ญ๐ฐ[…]
These are irrational statements based on a priori biases and emotional outbursts.

How to get to know/understand the reality of people – it feels like a mystery: what they say, what they mean. I feel most people today see others as contacts to network to have for future use. ๐ช๐ญ
It is not just difficult but impossible to know human beings and what is going on inside them unless you are a yogi. Human mind
I’ve been intoxicated/moved by this bhajan(Hirna) of Kabir Das ji since the time I heard it at the camp for the first time. This might not be the best transliteration & translation, but could you please help briefly explain these verses in the light of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s Yoga? What does the deer denote, and what are the 3 forests, 5 hunters, 5 deer and 25 does? Thank you! ๐ฆ๐ถ๐๐ป […]
Yes it is a beautiful bhajan and was sung in a soulful way in the Camp. Here is the deeper mystic sense of this poem
Recently, I had a TMJ problem related to my jaw. After a blood test, there was a vitamin D deficiency, for which I am taking all kinds of medication. But something is incomplete. I feel that I need to know how I can make this body more receptive to Divine Mother’s force so that it may heal properly and become useful to Her Work. ๐ฟ๐๏ธ
TMJ pain has little to do with Vitamin D. It is generally due to a tendency to become anxious or clench / grind the teeth
Are we to trust our intuition at all times? ๐ญ๐งญ
Depends upon what we call intuition. What most people mistake for intuition is sudden suggestions arising in the mind bypassing the rational process. These suggestions
This evening, while doing parikarma at the Ashram, my friend called me on the phone. He is also a Sri Aurobindo devotee and requested that I pray at Samadhi on his behalf for help in his sadhana, as he told me that he is currently encountering trouble in his spiritual practice. Spontaneously, I agreed and did so. Please guide me on how to approach such situations. ๐๐ป๐๏ธ
We can certainly pray for someone wherever we are or may be. Though prayer is a privilege given to everyone, it is true that prayer
Alok, your words are most motivating and cause feelings of joy in the heart. I am left wondering about the relationship between the psychic opening and finding the divine aim within one’s nature. ๐ชทโจ […]
Your early experience are itself an indication that you are marked out for the true spiritual life. That is what I meant as aim. Finding
In villages, families tend to be large, and neighbors play a significant role in their lives. However, I have a question: how should one deal with family members who are driven solely by self-interestโcaring only for themselves rather than observing the principle of mutual give-and-take? ๐ฟ๐๏ธ[…]
The Mother has answered this in one word, ‘detachment’. Even when the family is good it often absorbs a lot of energies, often in trivial
Can I ask you something about my latest experience with Cannabis / Marijuana, which was taken in oil form – prepared traditionally by drying and heating it in oil and filtering it so that we have the oil with the full-body infusion.๐ฟ๐๐ป […]
Cannabis and other similar drugs can at times put us in contact with immense forces of the lower vital world by knocking off the rational
How can I purify my relationship with the Mother? Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time, if I make a promise to myself that I will not ask for unnecessary things and face difficulties myself, it seems not to be the right thing to do. I feel my relationship with Mother is the most valued thing in my life, so how do I make it pure? ๐ชท๐๐ป
Surely we can ask the Divine Mother for what we need. Only our relationship should not be confined to that. One should learn to give,
Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. ๐ฟ๐๏ธ[…]
The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to
What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signifyโis peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the
My sister is pregnant and has entered her ninth month. Because she has a low-lying placenta, the doctor has recommended a C-section and suggested dates around August 14th or 15th. When I learned about the dates, I suggested August 15th because it is Sri Aurobindo’s birthday. ๐ถ๐๏ธ[…]
