Those who are in the spiritual path, some wants to achieve nirvikalpa samadhi, some wants dasya, some wants sakhya, some wants vatsalya, etc and some wants transformation. What the jiva wants to achieve as its final spritual state is already present as a seed in its own nature?πΉπ―πͺπ

We recently met on Mother’s departure day. I have been listening to a lot of your speeches and found something twice I dint understand or confused about. Something about being very strict with dietary restrictions was mentioned. I have turned vegetarian when I was 15 and never looked back.

Here is one of the song from Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. Where have You hidden the form that Yashoda, making you dance, called her precious blue jewel?β¦β¦β¦O Mother, play that sweet melody upon Your flute, From my understanding till now, i think that everyone has its own individuality as a central being. I am sperate central being and another one is a separate central being. Here Sri Ramakrishna tells Maa Kali to take the form of Lord Krishna. If Krishna has its own individuality, how can Kali take the form of Krishna? Will there not be two individual Personal Krishna here?π§ββοΈβ¨πͺποΈ

If every jiva’s final spiritual realization is already fixed then doesn’t it violate the free will of God? So God can only change the process, not the goal.Β π§β¨π£οΈπΆββοΈ

Sir, there is sadhana after death – the work goes on in the subtle physical world. Only for those who have not developed to that extent must come down again for their development? Or else there is some special work to do on Earth and that’s when the developed souls come for and perhaps to do a special kind of sadhana on Earth…?ποΈβ¨ππ€
The first purpose of sadhana is to get rid of the ignorance and the unconsciousness and recover the soul in all its truth and purity

How do we control overthinking? I mean, we try to reason with ourselves β telling ourselves, “Hey, these things happen; everything is fine. Such situations come and go; that’s just life β it has its ups and downs, and eventually, things will get better.” Yet, despite understanding all of this, our mind simply refuses to accept it and continue to overthink. So, what exactly can we do about that?π€―ππ«οΈπ«
It happens because the mind turns in a narrow grove. To widen the grove one needs to broaden one’s interests and activities as well as
Had Sri Aurobindo seen the future road map of the Supramental Force descending to Earth’s atmosphere, after the 1st meeting with The Mother? Or did it come on the way?

I wanted to ask you regarding a specific pattern I find within me. Whenever I get angry, I automatically start crying. There are people who shout when angry, try to prove their point.

Sri Aurobindo writes in the chapter The Message of the Gita (EOG) that all human action is for self-finding only. Now, many commentators on the Gita turn the battle of Kurukshetra and the actions of the warrior Arjuna into a mere allegory of the human soul. They call it an inner battle.ππβοΈπΉπ₯[…]
