Alok Da, how do I stop overthinking and overanalyzing everything? Also how to start observing without analyzing?๐ง ๐๐ง๐ฌ
One should tell the analysing mind that there is no way it can arrive at a definitive conclusion.

I’m writing about several things that are happening to me in both of these situations. If you want to explain, please answer each one separately. I close my eyes and can’t sleep. A reel of Sri Maa is playing on my mobile phone. While I sleep, sometimes the Mother appears before my eyes, appearing as light within me. On one hand, I remember Guru Maa, who loves me like her own child, and on the other hand, I feel a sense of peace and joy when I look at the picture of Sri Maa. How should I deal with this situation, Dada?๐ธ๐ชทโ๏ธ๐โพ๏ธ
Guru is the giver of Light. How can moving from Light to Light be a deception. Whatever be the past of our outer personality, the
And Dada, by Ma, I mean Guruma, somewhere this thought was also bothering me. Dada, I am sure that Gurudev has come to complete the work of Sri Aurobindo. There is no doubt that Sri Aurobindo and Ma are incarnations and by taking refuge in them, the desire for transformation can be fulfilled. Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it openly like an elder brother.โ๏ธ๐๐ชท๐ธ
Faith something very precious and one should always respect and guard it. At the same time it is important to respect and guard one’s aspiration
Was this our own (central beings’) experience before the plunge into the inconscient?๐โ๏ธ๐
Yes. It is about the central being before it fell or rather chose to enter into the adventure of consciousness.
Before even discovering my soul, how can I jump to another path with confidence? Though many times you have answered, still it’s lingering.ย ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธโจ๐๏ธ
The soul is discovered not through a path or a process but through sincerity of aspiration that i see growing in you.
Dear sir, the Kevat Prasang of Manas melts my heart. Few lines:๐๏ธ๐นโจ๐ช
This beautiful story is the depiction of the ancient Vedic truth of the interchange between God and man. Man must give what he has and
When every part of me pulls in a different direction, waking up wanting to dedicate myself to one path, by afternoon feeling drawn to something completely different, and by evening desiring yet another pursuit, all while the lower vital stirs with its own cravings. How can I find an inner harmony or central purpose that unites these changing impulses without feeling lost or fragmented?๐งโโ๏ธโจ๐๐
This is quite a normal experience in the beginning because of the rhythms of Time that affect us. The energies in the morning are most
Sri Aurobindo says that all true knowledge grows by intuition and not by intellect. But the jnana yogins, especially the advaitins, primarily employ their intellect as an aid to realise the Divine. Their methods of nitya-anitya vastu viveka and the triple concept of sravana, manana and nidhidhyasana seem to suggest that. Are they actually preparing the ground for intuitive understanding using the intellect at the start? ๐โก๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธโ๏ธ
Intellectual discernment between what is true and of lasting value and what temporary and transient helps the mind detach from surface appearance. It also develops
Very often the word Consecration “is used by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo.ย Does it signify something more and special than the word “, Dedication’,ย “Complete Surrender” Or “offering completely”?ย If so please clarify the difference๐ช๐ธ๐โจ
Consecration is associated with the sense of the sacred. I can offer the work I do with the idea in the background that I am
Please help me, is work life balance just a myth?? Or is it my attitude towards life? I earn so I can have financial independence and spend quality time with family and have some luxury in life, but seems I’m not getting that..โ๏ธ๐๐กโ๐ฑ
There are number of presumptions about money and life which need to be set right. As you can already see, money can buy you neither
I am sure Sri Aurobindo and Sri maa are in subtle divine bodies. Do they sometimes enter some medium to guide the Ashramites so that the purpose is carried on smoothlyย ๐ชทโจ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฉต
I am sure they know what they should do and are doing what needs to be done in the Ashram and the world. That is
I could not getย answer of this question i.e. GOLDEN DAY. I could not get the details about this event. Does any physical force descend on the day at any spot of Pondichery/Auroville?๐ โ๏ธ๐โจ
The golden day is the day when the work undertaken by Sri Aurobindo to establish the Supramental Consciousness upon earth was completed. Sri Aurobindo had
I am watching the series, “The Chosen ” On Netflix.ย So there are some questions.ย Is Jesus, a true avatar manifested on earth?ย ๐ โ๏ธ๐
Yes very much so. Yogis of the stature of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Yogananda, Srila Prabhupad and of course Sri Aurobindo regard him as such. Christ
Mother says there is no evil, the only one evil is that things are not in its proper time and place, then what about men like Hitler and Pablo Escobar?๐๐๐ค๐โโฌ๐ฟ

Many times in your talk, when youย were mentioning about the other yogas, and their teachers, and it’s goal, you constantly put the adjectiveย “selfish ”ย since they thought only of individual Moksha…๐โ๏ธโ๐ฅ๐๏ธ๐

I can only speak of generalities because i don’t undertake personal guidance or counselling. What I can say is that wanting to get rid of
I have observed that my aspiration was at its peak when I started walking the path of yoga consciously. Over decades, the intensity of the aspiration has declined, almost evaporated. Sadhana seems to be now in auto-pilot mode, not driven by aspiration. Rejection and Surrender continue to figure as frequent necessities, which means there is still a long way to go. But neither is there much of an aspiration, nor any anxiety to get somewhere. Just go on doing what my limited capacity allows, and leave the rest to the Mother. If She wants, I can go on serving her for many lives to come. That is the only prayer, rather than an aspiration. Now the question: is this weakening or near-disappearance of the aspiration a normal phenomenon?
It is quite common for the intensity of aspiration to somewhat fade over a period of time. It is partly because the fire naturally touches
As a spiritual aspirant, how does one deal with the feature of uncertainty in existence? Certain times this uncertainty could peak so much that it could emotionally paralyse aspirants, create much stress and anxiety and disorientation in life, even if one is relatively detached and quiet within and offered to the Divine. Is liberation from this feature possible only after realising the Divine fully? โจ๐๏ธ๐๐ฑ
One doesn’t need to realise the Divine to deal with uncertainty in the world. Even a rational discernment, the observation of things as they are
