To what extent one should let the relationship affect our life. What should be the boundary of letting another ones opinions and perception about life affect us. Is it okay to change my opinions for hers🤔.
The basis of relationship is love. And love is about acceptance rather than wanting to change the one whom we love. Yet it is also

1. What happens when someone jumps from one relationship to another without properly informing their partner😣?
It debases the consciousness if lying and deciet are involved. Otherwise it generally leads to confusion and comparisons followed by a new stability…
What should we learn from a failed relationship, and what are the key insights to take away🤨?
There is no single cause and hence no single lesson. But a general lesson to learn is that human beings live in a colossal ignorance.
How should we live our life, especially in the modern world and in general🤔?
Stay rooted within in your own truth. Be clear about your ultimate aim and the steps that will take you towards it. Be conscious of
At times (in Aurobindo’s early poetry) there are flashes of a mysterious woman, an unidentified lady, not dark but cosmic…Who was the lady before the eyes of the passionate teenage scholar? Biographers have failed in their research. ”Ghosal, ‘Aurobindo’s Poetry’ Came across someone posting this, any inputs into who this mysterious figure is? Is this something symbolic/spiritual or a literal person🤔?
Sri Aurobindo was very much identified with Kali in the early part of his life. He has described her in several places in his poetry
Sometimes, you eagerly wait for a difficult situation to end because it feels exhausting and overwhelming. You keep wondering when it will finally be over. But when it does, instead of feeling relieved, you experience an emptiness, as if you’ve lost something meaningful. You might even start longing for that situation again, despite the struggles it brought, forgetting how difficult it actually was. Why does it happens😥?
It is because the vital energy was engaged in it. When the situation is over, the energy is released but then it is not directed
Generally speaking, I don’t tend to pay much attention to what people say about me, or hurtful things etc.. Because when they do, I just think they’re entitled to their own opinion and what they say doesn’t really pierce my heart because I can see they’re just angry or perhaps just want to hurt me intentionally – so I just offer it and move on swiftly. Like I couldn’t care less most of the time😠. [Conti]
It is a sign that you are inwardly quite developed. With this inner development, some people, develop a suprasensitive nervous system. What is needed is
Please tell us about the most famous Hindu mantra – Gayatri Mantra. It is said to be the oldest mantra chanted by mankind. [1] Why is so much importance given to this particular mantra in our scriptures🤨?
The Gayatri mantra given by Rishi Viswamitra is primarily the mantra of illumination for the human mind and its intellectual faculties by the higher light
Sri Aurobindo was Rama and Sri Aurobindo was Rishi Agastya, So how can that be possible as both were there on the same time🤔?
I don’t think Sri Aurobindo was Rama. Besides each Avatar passes through his own unique line of evolutionary process for the ultimate role as an
For the last two months my things are getting lost in very quick speed, even the things I have not touched for the past six months, also one thing that was lost got found in an extremely strange place, I don’t know what should I do ? Mumma is saying now keep a watch on your things more vigilantly… what should I do ? And how does this happen🥹?
This happens when our mind gets distracted and we are doing things without due attention. The remedy is to do things consciously. Another thing is
Today is Auroville’s day can you please share few words on Auroville 🌅?
Auroville is the Mother’s occult experiment to realise human unity. It is also to prepare the earth for a higher spiritual evolution. It is for
A couple of months back a guy I went for lunch with paid for my lunch because the place didn’t accept card payment. At the time I was sick, and so I forgot about it. A month later, the person reminded me of it (the amount was trifling). I was going to do it, but got distracted by various other things and so forgot again, and so the next day this person gave me a middle finger, called me a thief, telling me that he wishes I get into an accident, and swore at me. I finally gave him the money the same day, apologised for the delay, but also told him that what he told me was over the bar and unacceptable. He didn’t even reply anything. Now, whenever I see this person, he looks away and avoids me. Any normal person would have long apologised and behaved appropriately, but I suspect that this person’s extremely strange behaviour is due to his drug use (he told me earlier that he took psychedelics recently). Something in me pities him, yet at the same time I also don’t feel comfortable around him because of his strange behaviour. Can you suggest what is the best attitude I should take in this situation🫤?
It is the sign of meanness. It is best to keep distance from such people unless you are responsible for them in any way. To
There is always a bitter taste behind the human love―it is only the Divine Love which never disappoints”. How does one deal with disappointments, expectations, even when we think we are ready from within to deal with everything suddenly a blow comes and shatter everything. The more I get engaged in these outer things, the more farther I find myself from The Mother. Which is the most heartbreaking thing for me😣.
One has to go through the experiences of life to understand this profound truth. Some learn fast, some slowly the lesson of life that in
How do some people move from one relationship to another so quickly, almost overnight? Do they not have feelings, or do they simply not care about the emotions of the person they leave behind? It’s heartbreaking how relationships that once seemed so deep filled with words like “I love you so much” and “You’re my everything”—can end so badly. Were those words ever real, or do people change so easily? Now they will say the same words to other person. How can someone who once cherished you now walk away so easily with someone else, hurt you, and immediately start a new relationship as if nothing happened? Do they ever reflect on the pain they cause to other😪?
It is difficult to generalise such things and, i must say very very rare to move suddenly overnight. Generally a build up is taking place
Is Trataka a good practice👁️?
It is an elementary practice for concentration. It can be done but like anything, an excess of it, can be harmful.
A few days ago, I went to manage my dad’s work at a granite mine. Near the mine, there is a temple of a local deity where alcohol is offered every day, and the people living at the mine also indulge in alcohol and other substances. When I was at home, my spiritual practice was going well, but after going there, I feel like I’ve lost control over myself. Irrelevant thoughts come to my mind, and I have no control over them. Strange thoughts start wandering in my mind, and then I get troubled by them🥶. Is this the effect of that environment, or have I internalized all of this?
It is definitely due to the atmosphere created by the presence of lower vital entities. Keep the Mother’s blessing packet with you and call Her
Alok Da, These days there is so much traffic🚙🛵 and I drive the car from here to there, so many phone calls to attend and people to manage, how to find peace in this chaos ?
There is a long answer and a short one as well as an ultimate answer. The long answer is to never take a call including
