Sir, false charges and allegations have been put up against my father by some envious and not so good natured colleagues of my father. It’s about the government works that my father had done but some rules and regulations were not properly followed. But the work was proper. My father had no ill intentions and development was his only goal, still then why suffered and has to go through a tough and challenging time ? We have said everything to the Mother.๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ

There is a part in me that always against anything good, so if I aspire to surrender, if I aspire for light or even when I have some physical discomfort, I pray for health or ask for peace it is always against it and counteracts the good part by remembering it’s exact opposite. And due to this I spiral down into fear of now what will happen if I am never able to get over this part. Can you please explain this to me? What is happening? And what should I do? Because this is leading to stress and a constant conflict and stretching within myself.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿช”๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ง

Sometimes, there is a joy bursting forth in daily life things – like the sunrise, rain, sky, a flower, warmth of the sun, smiles of others, happiness of others etc.. I feel it as the eternal sunshine, summer that is behind everything. It arises this question in me constantly, what’s there not to like in this life? It is much like an ocean of bliss in what we call normal life. It hits me randomly so many times. I feel it is a universal thing smiling in all things, nothing based on my actions. I wonder many times if this is what Albert Camus wrote, “in me there is an invincible summer”, or the famous Louis Amstrong song “what a wonderful world”. I don’t know what to call it. Just out of curiosity, what’s this feeling Alok da?๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŽถ

Alok da, now when I am making a decision or choosing an idea/something, try to follow The Motherโ€™s guidance. Try not to be egoistic or hypocritical or under someone’s influence or judgmental. I know I am not one hundred per cent perfect, but I try to follow it and also surrender the action and result to The mother. Nowadays the by the grace of the mother, the result of the action (success or failure) does not affect me so much, and the Mother Sri Arobindo helps to move forward. There is lot of things going on inside and outside.ย  As you say kail doing the dancing. Today I need help on a specific condition. Because the action I am taking is not always as per the wifeโ€™s choice, it creates a conflicting/argumental situation. Is the feeling emerging from my ego (that she is not understanding my journey) or anything else? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฅ‡โญ๐Ÿ’ซ

I just wanted to ask you that French language is very prominent in the Ashram and school as well. The Mother herself told the disciples that they should read her works in French itself and not the translations. Could you please explain me as to why she has given so much importance to French in the Ashram?๐Ÿ—ผโšœ๏ธ๐Ÿฅ–๐Ÿฅ

Sometimes we dislike the people in our family. I think I already told you – issues with my brother – jealous of me – envious – I was more intelligent than him at work. More liked by all. Threw me out. Doesnโ€™t want me there. My mother supported him. They gave my father the idea that I should marry not work. Fear.ย How to get over the hurt and pain?๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿงฑ๐Ÿ’”

Yesterday in one of the lecture (not from Auromaa), There was an explanation that, Bhagavan will take any number of forms. Whatever form the devotees seek, he will manifest in that form. Now my question is , In Gita it is said soul is unborn, it is not created nor it can be destroyed. So When Bhagavan manifested that form, What about the individuality? What about the soul?๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ›ž๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒŸ

When it is said that the soul is neither born nor dies it refers to the Self, the One Universal Self that is ever unchanging.
