I know that I’m not a sattwic soul; my nature seems more tamsik. I experience jealousy, I desire to be the best, and I suspect that I have some ego. When I do Puja, it sometimes feels mechanical. How can I overcome these qualities🫤?
Nobody is an ideal sattwic person to begin with. Most human beings are subject to the same human difficulties as you mention. But with a
Sometimes, scrolling through social media and seeing other people’s photos creates the illusion that their lives are perfect—free from struggles or worries. It seems as if they have effortlessly found true love, married their soulmate, and stepped into their “happily ever after,” as though everything has fallen into place flawlessly. But your own life😥,[Conti]…

Looking at the current situation in India I believe democracy is not working, its more of a hindrance, in one of you talks you talked about Sanathan Dharma, you talked a new type of politics, can you please elaborate on this? What can be a new way of politics for India🤔?

I have observed more and more children in USA and other countries are Autism and have Down syndrome, in fact a friend told me one in every 40 child in USA is autistic, why is this happening? Is it the pressure of the consciousness? Is it Divine way of balancing the universe as Autistic people are simple as they are not cunning or mean or ambitious like they don’t have the mental traits like a mental human have, please shares your view on this🫤.
It is difficult to say with certainty but a number of factors could be operating.
Vaccination drives since few decades could be responsible for
Sri Aurobindo talks about drawing Divine power to earth to transform human consciousness. But I have read in Mother’s books and also listened in your Youtube video….don’t try to pull the higher or divine to you. Give yourself to the divine more and more. How to understand this🤔?
Sri Aurobindo was speaking of himself drawing the Supramental Power for earth and mankind when he was asked by the disciples as to what he
Energy Vampires 🦇— if after talking to a person you feel completely drained on a regular basis, does this indicate they’re an energy vampire? How to protect ourselves against such people, and how to spot them? The other observation I had is that when I am feeling strong in my vital, I can push back, while when I am feeling vitally low and dull, I become the victim of such people. Hence, the second part of the question is how to develop this vital strength to resist negative influences?
Yes there are sex vampires who draw away energy from others, especially by attracting the victims towards themselves. But this is fortunately not common. There
Would it be the right decision to marry💍 someone who shares your core aspirations?

One thing pains me a lot. I see that people who waste money and resources😠, for example re-constructing homes, breaking and taking down good furniture and replacing it with a new one, wasting electricity in the name of home decorations, wasting water in the name of digging borewells instead of sharing, purchasing what is not required just for the sake of satisfaction and show off, spending lavishly in wedding and the list is endless. Most pathetic thing is that these are the people who have a lot of money while various others strive to fulfill daily needs and try hard to save money to satisfy small- small desires. why such combinations like sensible, spiritual and rich are less? Does it has anything to do with one’s thinking pattern? How can one earn money and be good and sensible at the same time?
Yes it should ideally be so, should have been so, but human beings easily respond to the Asuric temptations of a life of pleasure and

Dear Alok Da, I irritate you so much by asking the same thing over again and again, but still how come you don’t get angry ? How do you manage it🙂?
Asking questions, even again and again, is your right. So that is no reason for irritation. Similarly answering questions is my…
Why is it so difficult to break up with someone😭? There are things you like about the person, yet at the same time, some things don’t feel right about the same person. If two people aren’t meant to be together for a lifetime, why do they meet, fall in love, and then drift apart? Why do girls become so emotionally attached that letting go feels nearly impossible? The thought of that person loving and treating someone else the same way they treated you can be heartbreaking. You also feel jealous about these things. It’s(the breakup) overwhelming—making it hard to focus on anything in life, leaving you feeling sad all day and night, and disconnected from everything happening around you.
It is the sense of loss that torments us in a breakup. We naturally get attached to all that nourishes or nurtures us in some
I had a dream last night🫤, we were to take a flight with my family I boarded a flight and I got on the flight and waiting for my husband and son but they did not come, the flight took off and I was anxious about my son. My sister was in the flight but her daughter too did not board but she was indifferent to it.

This dream indicates that you are progressing very fast and the rest of your family members are unable to keep pace. It is delaying your
I work in the field of stock market and Finance at the same time I have a strong pull inside me towards Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna. I am very much moved by the Essays on the Gita and am trying to put into practice whatever little I have understood. There Sri Krishna does not qualify works into Divine and Undivine but rather advises to turn all life into a Yoga. My question is how can I transform my professional activities into a Karmayoga, because all of my professional actives whirl around the satisfaction of my own or somebody else’s desires while Sri Krishna advises to work in a desireless spirit😥?
he steps to turning all works into karmayoga may be summarised as below.
1. Remember the Divine at the beginning of whatever you
What is the use of doing all Puja’s and all once you have turned to The Mother? Why people who have turned to her do all this ? Isn’t it a step back from what Mother is teaching us 🫤?
