Respected Alok Da, How can I maintain a healthy and respectful dialogue with a close friend of 22 years, when our recent conversations have started to feel judgmental, heavy, and emotionally drainingādespite my deep affection for himš„?
Keep the affection but avoid the discussions. The mind takes certain positions based on its angle of vision and then it gets fixated upon it.
I remember reading a poem somewhere but struggling to find it again. It was a poem where Sri Aurobindo šŖ· describes beholding the Divine/Peace and describing something like Peace having a face, eyes and features. Looking up at it. I can’t remember the wordings further.
The poem that you are possibly referring to is Shiva where Sri Aurobindo describes Shiva’s face as a mask of Peace.

When Mother writes in her prayers: “The tideš of materialistic thoughts is always on the watch, waiting for the least weakness, and if we relax but one moment from our vigilance, if we are even slightly negligent, it rushes in and invades us from all sides, submerging under its heavy flood the result sometimes of numberless efforts.” What is the materialism she is referring to? General everyday external preoccupation with material things, or the scientific Materialism that can creep in sometimes and upset our beliefs in Divine by convincing us that only the external is real?
When the Divine Mother willed to create, She brought out different aspects from the One Divine and distributed Her Knowledge and Power to each one

Once an fanatic religious person was lecturing me about how Swami Vivekanand is not an ideal man to worship, you know all their arguments they have (non vegetarianism, football and Gita and jato mat tato path) I schooled them very well about all this. There last point was-Ā Only a guru from a lineage of guru is acceptable, or the guru parampara, only the person who quotes shastras and lives according to shastras is acceptable, if our our shastra says that non veg is not our dharma then someone who eats it is not dharmic.Ā I felt pity for them, and prayed for them and walked away. Can you help me with some answers that can wash their headsš¬

Alok da, I go for a walk in the park every day, and Iāve noticed that some men keep staring at me. It feels quite uncomfortable. What do you think is the best way to deal with such situations or respond to themšØ?

What should a child do in a situation where their parents have failed to provide the understanding they needed? Should the child try to forget and forgive or should they confront their parents and express everything, the pain, the emotional neglect, and how the parents made everything about themselves?

āBhaiya, I wanted to ask you something. What is the right way to celebrate Rakshabandhan? My sister and cousin usually send me rakhis, and while I truly love and care for them, I donāt feel very connected to the rituals of the festival. I sometimes wonder if I should stop participating, or if I should continue just so they donāt feel hurt. What do you think is the right thing to do?āš
Stopping will hurt them and it is not needed as the ritual is simply one expression of love and care. You can pray for them,
Isn’t the greatest danger of humanity’s regression in this period of our history globalism? Isn’t France at risk of losing its soul? The globalist project is demonic. Wokism is burning in the flames of hell right now in Californiaš¬.Ā

When someone wants to start their spiritual journey, some people begin with introductory courses offered by well-known organisations and gradually build on that, eventually going on to teach “Spirituality” in a systematic way. But of course, you have to pay for those. What I want to ask isāapart from the money side, can anyone begin their spiritual journey in this wayš¤Ø? And if someone feels drawn to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, what introductory books would you recommend?
This way of turning people to the spiritual life is nothing but spiritual commercialism wherein spiritual teaching or practice is sold as a commodity. The
Iām going to pour my heart out here. For a number of years I have been out of any relationship, preferring to focus on my own personal goals and spiritual development. Recently, I met a girl with whom I entered into a casual relationship. We were spending a lot of time together, felt mutually happy, had a lot of fun, and had sexual contact as well (although it was not the main component). This thing lasted for only a month, and we both agreed from the start that it could not continue after this month because of our going to separate places. I even warned her from the very beginning that we have to be careful so as not to catch feelings towards each other. She said ā yes, it will not happen. However, over time the situation changed. She fell in love with me, told me she never met someone like me, that I made her feel very happy and safe, and so on. I told her we could try to continue our relationship long distance. But personally, I donāt feel the same depth of feelings towards herš¬. Nor can I imagine her as my long-term partner because I donāt feel that she is spiritually inclined. (It is important for me to be with someone who shared my aspiration).
These things happen when we are excessively focused on one aspect or dimension to the exclusion of others, especially the emotional and passionate aspects of
