I think Iโ€™m emotionally dependent and scared of being alone. I still donโ€™t fully understand what the future will look like โ€” whether my family will move, whether Mom will be emotionally stable and how everything will unfold. When I see other families together and doing fine financially, it makes me restless about both of them. I feel afraid because I donโ€™t know what theyโ€™ve decided, and I donโ€™t know if the coming years will be okay for all of us๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿงพ

I understand your worries. Human beings worry because they want the future to be shaped in a certain way. They try to foresee and plan

i see lot if restlessnessย  yet lot of clarity inย  todays kids. Say between 10yrs to 20yrs the age group I work with.. This restlessness is what worries me at times, human relation in the name ofย crush, boyfriend, girl friend starts with physical intimacyย  than anything else, even before their emotions, physical and mind even understands what it is to get into a relationship? As fast as they go they come back and next day looking for another one.There are few who understandย  these and stepback but the seed must be there for them to understand what Mother and Gurudev said. How about others? Do we have to just look at all this as Gods play?๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿคณ

It is indeed God’s play. Whose else it would be? Nothing happens in the individual and collective life without a deep purpose. But to understand

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. What I dint understand was whether we follow a god/ guru or not, having principles, values in our lives (like being a strict vegetarian in this case) is not a bad thing right? ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฐ

I am happy that you asked this genuine doubt.

Let us go step by step about it.

Do The Mother and Sri Aurobindo encourage taking

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?โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆO 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?๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ๐Ÿช˜๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ

The true individual in human beings is the psychic being supported from behind by the central being. This individuality and all individualities are distinctive aspects

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…?๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœจ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿ‘ค

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 โ€” telling ourselves, “Hey, these things happen; everything is fine. Such situations come and go; that’s just life โ€” 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?๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿซ 

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? If he had already seen that, then why didn’t he explain all these to the Mother? Then Mother would stay there permanently instead of returning & second coming events &โ€ฆ, as I have not read the 1st meeting of Sri Aurobindo with The Mother yet. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ๐ŸŒ

Both Sri Aurobindo and The Mother were independently conscious of the work and the mission of establishing the Divine Consciousness here upon earth. They knew
