There are so many increasing incidents of bewildering horrible accidents like containers falling and crushing the people travelling in the car,buildings collapsing(including airports)and nudging people to death, train accidents, road accidents, all of this is creating a certain tense state on how every moment of living is a danger in India, it’s so disheartening to see human lives being lost to the iron walls of matter, I’ve read that Sri Aurobindo made note of increasing technological accidents and catastrophes across the world in his record of yoga,what’s the occult view of such incidents cos people are getting quite scared and disheartened to see such visuals every now and then on social media and news😱.

Accidents and catastrophes are not because of machines but due to unconsciousness. Machines may create greater chances of accidents but their real flip side is

This question is from one of the passages of Sri Aurobindo’s Essays in Philosophy and Yoga. He writes: “…there is One Spirit which supports the stir of the Universe, not many. In the individual the One Purusha has three stages of personality; He is One, but triple, trivṛt. The Upanishads speak of two birds on one tree, of which one eats the fruit of the tree, the other, seated on a higher branch, does not eat but watches its fellow;…” (CWSA 13, pg.52) When he says ‘in the individual the One Purusha has three stages’, What does he mean by the phrase IN THE INDIVIDUAL? and are the three stages, Prakriti, Kshara and Akshara consciousness🙂?

The three stages through which the Purusha discovers and recovers himself are the physical, vital and mental Purusha with corresponding physical, vital and mental personalities.

I don’t know how to deal with my nature. I am the kind of person who doesn’t react to small things like minor fights or disrespect. I either let them go or ignore them and get back to normal within 5–10 minutes or, at most, 1–2 hours. But when someone says “No” to me, it deeply hurts my ego, like very deeply. I start overthinking, connecting past events, and assuming their intentions were wrong. This makes small issues much bigger, and sometimes I end up risking my relationships or career because of it😥.

It is not easy to change one’s nature. Becoming conscious of the difficulty is of course the first step. Next, one has to persistently apply

We have read that supreme has given the sanctions to hostile forces to at certain extent. Through difficult circumstances and hostile forces intervention also things take a certain turn and Some people utilizes this opportunity and turns towards Divine. But certain people get so much demotivated and helpless they commit Suicide. Don’t you think in such scenario where man is ignorant these sanction to this forces is become obstacle for his progress or its high consequence of this leverage to the hostile force?

It is true that the hostile forces create a himalaya of difficulties where they are supposed to obstruct by a hill between our aspiration and

Any correlation between purusha being dismembered to create the world and the material world being food? Is the scenario of wild dogs devouring a deer and all the natural processes of life feeding upon life a reenactment of that original primal sacrifice in an inverted way🤔? I remember reading Upanishadic sages talking about everything in the world from physical to the spiritual processes being a sacrifice. Can we see even the world history from being isolated tribes dispersed throughout the globe to the global unit that is the earth today as reintegration of dismembered purusha through the wars and battles of history? Sri Aurobindo wrote a piece on kala purusha the devourer of legions and the opening of brihadaranyaka upanishad has the imagery of devouring of creatures the moment time came into being and western occultism has this image of chronus the father of time eating his own children. Sri Aurobindo also also mentions about agni being the flame of time and death and everything is his food. I know it’s a lengthy and complicated question but really want to get some clarity on the enigmatic Purusa sukta and how it’s broader implications operates in the cosmos

The sacrifice of the Purusha as described in the Purusha Sukta of the Rig Veda as well as the sacrifice of the Divine Mother as
