Dear mentor, I read lots and lots about the vital to really understand myself and my being. I have learned that it’s because not all of my vital is open to the Light and becomes susceptible to higher as well as lower forces. 🪻🙂💖🦋✨[…]
The vital is a seat of difficulties in everybody and the first step is taken by identifying the difficulty rather than justifying it. Next one
Sri Aurobindo writes, “The evolution has a purpose, but it is a purpose in a circle. It is not a straight line or other figure of progression from the not to the is, from the less to the more.” – What do you mean by the purpose of evolution is a circle? Does it repeat itself? Does it go up and again come down? Please clarify what Sri Aurobindo means by that? 🌀🌄💖🌻
He speaks of Cyclic nature of creation and not circular. What it means is that creation advances upto a point and when it is unable
Alok da, “There are others which the Gita does not raise or answer, for they were not pressingly present to the human mind of that day.” Has Sri Aurobindo raised and answered these beyond the Gita? 📙✒️🦚🪷[…]
There are a number of questions that the Gita doesn’t take up such as the purpose of creation and the goal of the collective human
I saw a dream where I was sightseeing the city of Kashi, but the streets were broader, larger, spacious and they were covered with flowers. Also, there was a strange hue and the population was very sparse, like in European cities. 🏙️🪷🐈🦚🕊️[…]
It is quite likely the Kashi of the future in the subtle physical world waiting for its hour. Though strangely the description feels also similar
I have this intense desire to expose truth, to reach the depth of things, to analyze. When I feel that the other person is hiding something or lying, I want to have clarity and truth. Being lied to hurts me a lot. 💔👥🌾[…]
People tell lies because they fear being misunderstood. They hide because they value your love and do not want to hurt you and, at the
Is it just a coincidence that Sri Krishna was the de facto ruler of Dwarka and Sri Aurobindo started his work as the de facto ruler of Gujarat? I feel as if it indicates that he has started his work from where Sri Krishna left. 🦚🪷🍃🌄
There are quite a few other similarities. Sri Krishna was brought up in a foster home away from his parents and so was Sri Aurobindo.
In Sri Aurobindo’s writings, he very much stresses the need for sexual discipline and Brahmacharya during the student phase of life, and I remember reading Schopenhauer on how the childlike curiosity, inquiry and energy get directed towards sexual mating with the coming of puberty.😯🦋✨💖[…]
Nature has created this world in a many-tiered way. The animal plan is its beginning, the animal humanity and the higher humanity are the middle,
In Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, the Divine consciousness manifests into the world through Involution, and human suffering is often described as a side effect of this evolutionary process. 🤔😣🥀🌄[…]
The first thing to understand is that the Divine who chose to plunge into the ignorance with the full knowledge of the aftermath of suffering
Is subconscious mind have some miraculous power, as claimed in some books like – ‘The Power of subconscious mind’ by Joseph Murphy? Does conscious affirmation really programme our subconscious mind for something better? 😶🌫️😊🙏🏻🌻
What is called as the subconscious mind by these authors is generally the subliminal that is to say below the threshold of our awareness. The
Sir, previously, I was in traditional yoga. I used to do Naam jap with mala ‘Hare Krishna Hare Rama’ Mantra. I used to follow one of the Maharaj ji, still I watch him sometimes through Reels, and I feel good. 😊🙏🏻🪷🌻[…]
God’s Name has indeed a great power. Any Name, any Form with which you associate the Divine is good but certain names such as of
Sir, can you please explain in detail the history of Delhi before and after the Mughals and before and after the Britishers, and the condition of today, and why that was so complicated? Sir the all is going on in Delhi. There might be an internal cause. What is it, and why is it? 🏦🌄🌾
In short, India had a long unbroken history of over 12000 years plus of being ruled by great Hindu Kings and Emperors who followed the
I listened to your most recent Savitri audio. You are on “towards the black void.” You mentioned the Vaitarani. Can you explain what that is? And how do we cross it in the context of the Mother’s Yoga? 🌼🌄✨
Vaitarani (the river that frees you from mortal remnants) known in Greek mythology as river Styx is a stream of energy that supposedly flows in
I now believe sexual lust cannot be resolved by personal will alone. Only the Mother’s Grace can address it. True Surrender of the whole being is the only way — easy to say, difficult to practice. 🫡🌹🦋✨[…]
Yes, it is only possible to master it through the intervention and constant action of the Grace supported by our persistent faith and will. …
I have been taking antipsychotics for the last 15.5 years (olanzapine 15 mg every night). The issue is – I feel a bad mood and irritation for 4-6 hours after getting up from sleep every day. Is it happening because of my psychosis condition, dear Alok da? 🔮😫😥🦋✨
Yes, it is due to an instability in nature. Psychosis itself is the result of this instability that arises because the consciousness has got centered
Reading all the writings, all the answers to my seekings, there remains a gap, a feeling of being unanswered. My inner call says that I can’t know anything fully while staying in the same dimension; there is a higher level or dimension than my present one, or maybe many of them, and only when I reach there, my quest will end. 🤔🌷🌄✨
Yes, of course, reading and writing prepare the ground, they are not a replacement or substitute for direct experience which comes through the meeting of
Jai Maa. Today I was reading the Two Natures chapter from Essays on the Gita and there Sri Aurobindo explains that the desire in consonance with dharma does not lead to any bondage, while there he also mentions that desire born of Rajogun leads to bondage and misery. 📖✒️😊🙏🏻🌻[…]
He has already answered this as you have correctly indicated, through the svabhava. Svabhava is the Divine Impulsion in creation that generates karma. It is
Sir, I am in my early 40s now. I have been the Divine Mother’s devotee since I was a girl of 9-10 years old. Now I feel how lucky I am to get Her image & to walk inside the Ashram, she still walks or drinks the water that she is still drinking/touching despite the pain I’m stuck with for a long time, sir. 🥲🌻💖✨[…]
Yes, I understand the sense of lost opportunities that come sometimes when we look back at life. It is inevitable because human beings live in
Right now, the world seems to be engaged in a terrible and depressing Yajna, with modernism and materialistic science as its priest, trying to conquer the world and death through Artificial Intelligence and genetically modifying babies and many more ignorant means and measures. 🌎🔥🔱🐦🔥[…]
Yes, your intuitive insight is quite correct about much of the present humanity. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo herself cautioned about this in several places.
