I have two questions about keeping an inner contact with the Mother and the Lord. Since a while ago, I have been observing something in myself. When I am free and watching some content for entertainment, I cannot watch it for too long. I feel an inner discomfort and my heart and mind crave to go back to the Divine. I feel much better when I read something from the Mother and Sri Aurobindo or when I listen to your talks. The problem is I want to be in contact with the Mother and feel her Presence but I don’t want to be completely disengaged from life either. Is there a way to reconcile both or should I avoid such activities?๐งโจ๐ฏ๏ธ๐

Dear Alok da, would you help explaining the below Aphorisms please? What is the ‘temptation’ meant here? God guides best when He tempts worst, loves entirely when He punishes cruelly, helps perfectly when violently He opposes.๐๐๐ซ๐งฒ

Sir, I feel that I lack listening skills. When I listen to others, I often find it hard to concentrate, and even if I do, I forget what they said almost immediately. Sometimes, I also donโt understand what they really mean. Why this is happening? What is the core problem? What should I follow to make this better?๐โณ๐ง

Detachment helps us disengage from the ego-self and the distortions of desires so that all the higher Divine powers including Love can have its fullest and undistorted play. However, detachment from the egoistic engagement with life and people only gives us half the secret. It helps us experience these powers in their impersonality. It does not give us the law of their action or the secret of personal relationship which is also an aspect of creation. That requires the awakening of the true will in us so that Love (and everything else) can find its right place and its fullness in the Divine Play. Could you explain what you mean by writing “the law of their action”?ย ๐ช๐๐ชท๐ง

In various tribal-dominated regions of India, Christian conversion has occurredโand continues to occurโon a large scale. However, Christianityโs influence can be clearly seen in the changes that have taken place in the lifestyle of many tribal communities.

The fact that there are still a few centuries to pass, before there can be a Divine Manifestation, discourages me and makes me hopeless.

I have a parent with mental illness–what I think is borderline personality disorder. I know labels are not always beneficial –but her behaviors line up with this disorder and have helped me get a grip on what is going on. The main facet of this is she is very fixated on me, and if I do not call or reach out, she calls me evil, a bad daughter, threatens suicide. It has gone on for a long time and I am at the point of really creating distance with her as my body feels it cannot handle any more threat. Is the soul behind the person with mental illness–does it just stay completely behind the veil because the vital being has taken over?โ๏ธ๐ช๏ธ๐ซ๏ธ๐
