Sometimes, there is a joy bursting forth in daily life things – like the sunrise, rain, sky, a flower, warmth of the sun, smiles of others, happiness of others etc.. I feel it as the eternal sunshine, summer that is behind everything. It arises this question in me constantly, what’s there not to like in this life? It is much like an ocean of bliss in what we call normal life. It hits me randomly so many times. I feel it is a universal thing smiling in all things, nothing based on my actions. I wonder many times if this is what Albert Camus wrote, “in me there is an invincible summer”, or the famous Louis Amstrong song “what a wonderful world”. I don’t know what to call it. Just out of curiosity, what’s this feeling Alok da?🌟🌅🫶🎶

It is indeed a beautiful state, a glimpse of the Divine Presence immanent in all things. It is a special Grace through a door opening

Alok da, now when I am making a decision or choosing an idea/something, try to follow The Mother’s guidance. Try not to be egoistic or hypocritical or under someone’s influence or judgmental. I know I am not one hundred per cent perfect, but I try to follow it and also surrender the action and result to The mother. Nowadays the by the grace of the mother, the result of the action (success or failure) does not affect me so much, and the Mother Sri Arobindo helps to move forward. There is lot of things going on inside and outside.  As you say kail doing the dancing. Today I need help on a specific condition. Because the action I am taking is not always as per the wife’s choice, it creates a conflicting/argumental situation. Is the feeling emerging from my ego (that she is not understanding my journey) or anything else? 🦁🥇⭐💫

It is the soul within us that feel detached and turns away from when it sees the limitations and imperfections of the earthly life. It

Sometimes we dislike the people in our family. I think I already told you – issues with my brother – jealous of me – envious – I was more intelligent than him at work. More liked by all. Threw me out. Doesn’t want me there. My mother supported him. They gave my father the idea that I should marry not work. Fear. How to get over the hurt and pain?💥🗣️😤🧱💔

We get in life what is best for our progress. The forces of destiny do not work to satisfy our wishes or to fulfil our

Yesterday in one of the lecture (not from Auromaa), There was an explanation that, Bhagavan will take any number of forms. Whatever form the devotees seek, he will manifest in that form. Now my question is , In Gita it is said soul is unborn, it is not created nor it can be destroyed. So When Bhagavan manifested that form, What about the individuality? What about the soul?📜🛞🪷🌟

When it is said that the soul is neither born nor dies it refers to the Self, the One Universal Self that is ever unchanging.

Da, whenever I see some incident or read something, thoughts come to my mind and I feel like telling people about it. Like yesterday was Vat Savitri Purnima—I saw in the market that small branches of the banyan tree were being sold, and women were buying them and doing puja with them. Then I started thinking, how can we worship the banyan tree after breaking it? I started wondering about the real meaning behind it—it doesn’t seem right. After all these thoughts, I felt like writing about it and posting it on WhatsApp status, but then I didn’t. These kinds of thoughts keep coming to me, and I feel like sharing them with others, but when I try to write, I stop. So I end up telling Mummy, Didi, or Kunal. But Alok da, how should I write or tell people—or should I not say anything? Then I worry people might misunderstand and think I’m criticizing tradition. Like breaking the banyan tree might become a ritual and the true meaning of Vat Savitri Purnima could be lost or misunderstood. Alok da, I keep getting such thoughts on different topics, that something should be this way or that way, but I can’t put them into words. So how do I express these thoughts or feelings—or is it okay if I don’t? But if someone talks about the same topic at the time, I do speak up. I just can’t write it. And one more thing—when it was my parents’ birthday, I thought I would write a WhatsApp status expressing my feelings for them, but in the end I only wrote ‘Happy birthday, Divine bless you, love you.’ I couldn’t write or even say my true feelings in front of them. So how should I express my thoughts and emotions? Or is it okay if I don’t?

You should write in a diary to the Divine and express yourself freely in front of God. Later, if He feels it is necessary and
