You have said earlier that the goal of creation is to multiply the Delight of the Divine in manifold ways. So there are practically numberless souls (evolving in millions of universes), the Delight of creation will be multiplied by a numberless (very very huge) number ?โจ๐๐๐ฆ
Evolution of the soul is only upon earth. …
Would you please help explain this message by the Mother: 5 October 1934, ‘Equanimity: immutable peace and calm. In the deep peace of equanimity the love will grow to its full blossoming in a sense of pure and constant unity.’โ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๐ชท
Peace is the indispensable basis for the higher Divine powers to manifest. Equanimity is the foundation on which the higher Divine Powers can have their

With my physical body, how can I do Nishkama Karma? Like doing exercise, sleeping, eating healthy & good food. First, I think I will do Surya Namaskar daily to become fit. & This thought pulls me towards maintaining regular exercise. How to merge my personal actions with the Mother?โ๏ธ๐๐ชท๐ ๏ธ[…]

What is the significance of the Invocation of Krishna and Kali in our Spiritual Journey? Any difference between the Invocation of theย Two? Does our Inner Being guide us to which one of them we will take up in our journey?๐ฅ๐ฑ๐ฉธ๐ฆ๐ช๐

Does Ego exist after one leaves the body?๐๐ฆ๐ชฆโจ
No. It disintegrates. It is a formation of Nature for a single lifetime. That is why we forget all our name, form, relations etc over
I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good. But I have to deal with a medical system here in Switzerland that on one hand is very excellent but on the other is often working with “worst case” scenarios causing fear and anxiety in me. (Sometimes I ask myself whether the hostile forces can also use doctors…) Anyway, I often feel the obligation to decide something, whether to follow the doctor’s advice or go my own way. This is very difficult. How can one know whether a decision is right?๐๏ธ๐ฉบโค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐
Human beings live in ignorance, ignorance of the deeper truths and forces that govern our lives, ignorant of the Divine Presence within, ignorant of the
Hello Dada.. I am in lot of emotional distress and just nothing feels right. I donโt know how to put it in word at some point I feel terrible about myself and at the same time not able to hold it anymore. Things have paradoxically changed. To be honest I have a complete different perception now which is difficult to explain to anyone also sometimes I feel is it a lot of my Ego speaking and thats why the conflicts?๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช
It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on
Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?๐ชท๐๐๐ฎ
She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also
I have been living away from home for almost 9 years for my studies, and currently study in a foreign country. I usually donโt get much lonely and even if I, I get comfortable on remembering the Mother. But for sometime, I am getting too emotional on festivals such as today, which usually results in a fever and impacts my work. How should I deal with it?๐ก๐๐ฅบ๐งธโ
It is most likely the result of home-sickness arising out of loneliness. Certain circumstances and situations are typically associated in the mind with home or
I have recently started my residency in MS opthalmology. My schedule runs from 7am to 11pm with two 36 hours shifts each week. Throughout the day I am constantly surrounded by seniors and immersed in work and we are not allowed to leave the wards during working hours. I get no time for meditation or reading books of Maa and Sri Aurobindo or even some time to sit in silence. How to do this Sadhana through work when hospital feels like a jail and certain seniors like jailors?๐ง๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฟ๐
I completely understand having gone through it in my own way. What you should do is to first change the motive of your studies. Take

Recently I read one of your replies to a Daily question regarding Saguna and Nirguna Brahman (Personal and Impersonal Divine):๐โพ๏ธ๐๐
The gods are aspects of the One Divine; they are not the Saguna Brahman. The Saguna Brahman is the Divine Source of all the qualities
But at the same time I find one who is not engaged in pursuit of name, fame or wealth in society often ends up indulging in smoking up and drugging in the name of spirituality.ย One can very conveniently say Iโm not looking for external validations (or the stars here ) fool themselves by saying they are looking for the sun. Talk yoga. But then seek these frivolities. How to know if one is seeking truth and wisdom, love and harmony, peace and illumination?ย ๐ง๐ชท๐
It is a question of inner sincerity. But that is not the point. The truth of things does not depend upon who or how many
Is it wrong to accept this change? The ease with which it has occurred, that I didn’t even notice it happening.ย ๐๐ง๏ธ๐
Gods do not act according to human ideas of moral right or wrong. They donโt suffer form jealousies, fears of rejection by devotees, anger etc.
Gopis loved Krishna but all of them except Radha experienced all the typical elements of lower nature such as jealousy, longing to tie him near them, possessiveness and all the rest. It is the typical human love transfered towards the Divine. That is why perhaps the personality of Radha has been brought in. Of course Radha does exist but in the Bhagawat she does not find a direct mention. Radha’s love is entire self-giving. Is it little wonder that Sri Krishna reveals the one and only Gita only to Arjuna, calls him His eternal Companion as Nara- Narayana.ย ๐ฆ๐ช๐ธ๐น
Bhakti is simply a general term indicating one who takes joy in God. Relations are the shades it takes.

Dear Alok da, I am in a very big dilemma for so long…it seems never ending. On one hand I feel that listening different masters and little bit of knowing all paths has benifit me and broadened my perspective in so many ways but on the other hand it makes me confused and I want to do a little bit of all sadhnas. Although I know my conviction of bhaktimarga being Supreme will not go but I can’t help myself spreading me too thin…pls helpโ๏ธ๐๐ชท๐
The description of your journey clearly indicates that Sri Krishna is turning you from a narrow bhakti towards gyana. Once the basis of gyana is
