How to be involved in day-to-day activities with a mind engaged in consecration to the Divine, as one can focus on one thing at a time, or what should be the state of mind during worldly activities? Or how to constantly have the remembrance of the Divine during worldly affairs?π―π§π€π§ πΉ[…]

Sir, yesterday I was talking with my friend and got to know something. I should be real. Actually, I am showing people what I am not. I should try to ask when needed, even if it is a very basic question. I should not think in a way like what he will think and so on. I should replace this thought with what I really am; they will see that. π§βπ€βπ§π‘π€π[…]

Dear Sir, few days ago during sleep I experienced a very brief episode of sleep paralysis. While in a half-sleep state and aware of the paralysis, I noticed that Ram-naam Japa was occurring automatically within my heart, without any conscious effort. It was not vocal but inwardly reverberating, accompanied by a sense of Joy. π΄π€ππ[…]
It means that your inner being has some kind of bhakti towards Lord Rama and hence his remembrance came naturally to you.
Dear Alok Da, In the Gita chapter 5 verse 15, it is said that the Lord accepts neither the Sin nor the Virtue of anyoneβ¦ It seems that the Higher Being is indifferent towards the movements in the lower hemisphere as it is typically taken for granted in classical Advaita Vedanta, but the Mother in one place said that the reason for Downfall of India is to taken for granted that the Higher plane is not taking place or controlling the lower movementsβ¦ But in the Gita, just the opposite is writtenβ¦ Please clarify.ππ¦πͺπ
The verse in question simply means that the Divine does not see and act as humans do. He does not, for example necessarily support the

I had read earlier in the Mother’s writings that all the stars will get transformed. You too said yesterday, ‘numberless stars will lead to limitless multiplication of the Delight.’ How can the transformation of limitless matter alone result in so much Delight? β¨πππ¦πΌ
That is only an eventuality, not any prediction. Stars, like any other matter, everything else, has emerged from the same Delight. That is why they,

Dada can you exlain these Mother’s lines: “Wake up in yourself a will to conquer. Not a mere will in the mind but a will in the very cells of your body. Without that you canβt do anything; you may take a hundred medicines but they wonβt cure you unless you have a will to overcome the physical illness. I may destroy the adverse force that has possessed you..πΉπ€πβΎοΈ

I also see that Sri Aurobindo had written about the Vedic Gods and mantras as well. Sometimes when my mind is agitated and concentration on the Mother at the heart could be a challenge, or it takes a while for the mind to settle down to have effective concentration, I wonder if I could use some mantras to bring my mind to a focus. I would rather utilize mantra(s) that bind me to Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Have they approved of any mantra(s) to be used as part of the sadhana? are they to be chanted, or listened to? If so, kindly guide me on how to use and practice them? π±πΌπ§ποΈπΏ

I’ve anxiety problem, age 63. I try to sit quietly before Mother’s photo and pray but not always I can overcome it. I try to read Ma Sri Aurobindo’s book but cannot concentrate.
