When The Mother 😇says, you think I am this one body, all are one divine body..or something like that please correct me if I am wrong.. but what does she mean?
The first statement is that we think that She is this body (identifying Her only with the body alone) is erroneous, refers to the fact
Can you please explain, ‘Break up in love💗is wake up in life.’
I can’t say that I completely agree with this sentence which claims to be based on Buddhism. No great teacher, certainly not Buddha would advice
In one way when we are aspiring the divine life manifestation upon earth an another way there are many traditional yogis, seeker who advice mankind to escape this earth. They speak it is an illusionary world which made by God. Another says it is the lila of lord but at the end you must escape this world and merging in the dety. My question is why they are not seeing the whole truth of the Divine, if they have find him? If the supramental consciousness manifested upon earth then why they are repeat this idea and give to mankind? If manifestation of divine life is the work of the divine then why he allow to repeat the game by other saints🤨?
Just as there are beings turned towards the future, who embody the future, so too there are beings whose face is turned towards the past,

Go by your seeking and aspiration. It is better to hear and read what you want to know. In general, I would suggest Glimpses of
I have not been in a relationship for over 7 years. My vital often gets attracted to people, but my mind is firmly convinced that a relationship is an unnecessary burden in my life. I shrink away from the thought of being committed to someone, of having to please another person. What an unnecessary waste of time and energy! But unless one is in a relationship, how is one to express one’s sexual urges😫?
Well one doesn’t get into a relationship only to express the sexual urge. All societies have always provided certain safety valves for that. Besides by
In your opinion how and when our great nation will come out of this sheer madness of Kumbh, flaunting Bhakti Yoga, wordplay of Gyan Yoga etc and shift to Shakti and Karma Yoga? Do you see any hope particularly in today’s time when even the responsible political and religious leaders are also fueling this madness instead of giving it the right direction😯.
India has always been a land of diverse approaches. Not all are ready for the most intrinsic sadhana. Therefore Indian culture has provided people to
Dada can you please explain in a few words the Four austerities and Four liberations and how do we practice it our daily life 😇??
Austerity ordinarily means being severe with oneself. It is considered as an equivalent of tapasya whereby one is harsh with oneself to the extent of
I already have a daughter. When I conceived for the second time, some people advised me to take medicine from a different source to have a son, while others suggested doing a computer (sex selection). But I didn’t listen to them because everything I have received from childhood until now, I have received from the Mother. So I said that Mother will give what she wants to. But now that I have a daughter, people are asking why I didn’t do the computer or why I didn’t take medicine. I feel like I was wrong. I am unable to come out of this situation. I am not sure how to stabilize myself and move forward. Please give me some solutions😥.
We should listen to our own self and our own judgment instead of listening to people’s words. The Mother has never differentiated between a boy
I just have a little question about harmony as today is Lakshmi Puja. How does one maintain harmony in the family effectively? When there are fights, I try to stay calm as long as I can and negotiate. However when it becomes unbearable, I give up and get angry. Sometimes when I make mistakes, I quickly apologize and try to correct it in order to maintain peace but it never seems to work well. My family keeps talking about my faults again and again even after I apologize. I am trying from my side but when the other person won’t co-operate, I don’t know what to do. I honestly feel like a failure. I have prayed to the Mother but is there anything else I can do from my side😥?
Harmony is very difficult to achieve in human relationship because each of the ego operating system. Hence each believes himself to be right and his
Reading the Life Divine, I kind of have these visions of galaxies colliding, never heard of musical strings playing at infinite speed which somehow emit fire, feelings of levitation and Mental space widening etc..Did Sri Aurobindo infuse his words to have such an effect or is it my own hallucination cos it stirs something in me? Even reading bande mataram , I can feel like he’s the infusing his writing with some sort of tantrik electric currents which are gonna penetrate the reader’s subconscious depths and bring a resolve in him to fight for freedom. Did Sri Aurobindo had a conscious intention to do this with His writing or is it my own imagination🤨?
It is not about conscious intention alone. Our consciousness flows in our acts and our writings inevitably carry outside to the world, something of the
Is suffering a must before human transformation🤔? It’s in Savitri somewhere in Pg 449 or 450
Once u come to mother…n u surrender to the extent u can… absolute surrender seems only thro grace..why do we still suffer. Then why do
It is said that to do yoga, senses need to be taken inwards. What are some of the activities in this modern fast-paced life which will make the senses indrawn and contemplative? And how to maintain that state regularly🤔?
The way that I am aware of and which Sri Aurobindo and the Mother seem to recommend is to remain concentrated in heart on Their
Yesterday night I had a horrible thought that my mumma died, and then I cried😭, please help me
Yes this is again due to fear and insecurity. But as you know that your mum is working for the Mother and is safe and
Dear Alok da why do I get up in the middle of the night? I cannot sleep 😴continuously?
It is due to fear and we must root it out completely with the Mother’s Help. Pray everyday and ask for courage, faith and …
I have observed very often that people who have already experienced certain mishaps and suffering tend to forget when someone else goes through the same pain. Instead of relating to others and condoling them, they start giving advice. While one sees others in pain😫, why does one forget his own sufferings?
Generally this does not happen. Those who go through suffering usually develop an empathy. They do give advices based on what they have learnt though
I see my mumma reading Sri Aurobindo’s books I wonder when Sri Aurobindo wrote them who typed⌨️ them out?
Most of the books were typed by Sri Aurobindo himself directly on the typewriter. Later his written letters and corrections were mainly seen and typed
Why is it that people who were once so deeply connected can become complete strangers almost overnight, as if all the shared moments meant nothing? How can they move on so quickly and find someone new, while blaming you for the breakup, claiming that your actions or words pushed them away? They justify their cold behaviour by saying that making you suffer will somehow make you stronger. But how can they not see the emotional chaos they leave behind—the emptiness, the loneliness, the struggle with rejection and abandonment? Is it fair to rationalize their actions as a way of helping you grow, while completely ignoring the hurt they’ve caused? [Conti]
It is because the relationship was largely in the vital physical domains, or on the surface emotions where things don’t stay for long. It means
Why are we humans so eager for others to realize their mistakes within a short time? Why are we so focused on others instead of understanding that it’s human nature to take time and that we should learn to be patient🤨?
In complete agreement with your observation. As to the reason, it is partly due to the relatively short life span that we lead compared to
