Da I ββam not able to understand anything, I am feeling blank, I want to say a lot. I want to mail you in detail, I want to say everything but I am not able to write. I feel like coming face to face and saying it but right now that is not possible. I am feeling a lot of pain, I feel like leaving everything and going away, I am tired. I don’t want to understand anyone anymore, I am not able to do it anymore. What is happening to me?π΄π€π₯±π΅βπ«
I can understand your state and what you must be going through. It is unfortunately the fate of most human love because it is based
I Β have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?πͺπβΈοΈπ
Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the
When I look at Sri Aurobindo, my mind gets concentrated on his left eye and then that eye of his seems as if it is looking at me like Mahakaal (the destroyer) and I like his looking at me like that and sometimes it happens that during the day while serving, that eye suddenly starts appearing on my third eye and when I bow to him, then that eye starts appearing, that means it happens many times during the day that his eye appears on my third eye. Is this because of looking at his picture too much or is it a true experience?ποΈβπ¨οΈπ±ποΈπ₯
Experiences, however subjective they may be always carry a truth within them. It is just that the interference of the ego and desires builds a
At present, I feel confused about what path to take and what kind of work would be suitable for me considering my health condition and educational background. It has been my heartfelt aspiration to live in Pondicherry, as I feel deeply connected to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I stayed in Pondicherry for one and a half years earlier and now πͺ·π³βοΈπ€
One doesnβt need to live in Pondicherry or join the Ashram to pursue the goal of Integral Yoga. It is only if one has the

Recently while surfing through my phone I came across the youtube channel of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Delhi and at that time a video surfaced across where they have invited a Sanyasi to talk about something in the Delhi Ashram branch. I felt it bit odd, because what help will a Sanyasi bring in the Yoga centered around Transformation rather than Nirvana? Haven’t people there read Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s opinion on asceticism? π§β¨ππ
Your line of thinking is very correct. But that is how the world is. People are mixed and hence the world goes on in the
My sisterβs friend who is just 35 years old passed away a week back in cardiac arrest . Whole family is in shock. She was healthy with no record of physical issues. She is a very soft, helpful and good soul. She has an 8 year old son whom she was very attached to and the child was also very attached to her. She was the only one who wholly was taking care of that child without husband involvement. Why did her soul choose to leave so early even though she had the desire to take of her son and attachment to live ? How is this justifiable to that small kid from a spiritual point of view?ποΈπ€π₯π
Justifiable to whom? The soul of the child might want to go through certain experiences. The soul of the mother, as is most likely in
A Road Trip The GPS and the road rules(dharma) The actual driving and the fuel consumed(karma). Dharma is the “why” and “what should be” (the code), while Karma is the “how” and “what is” (the execution). dharma acts as a self-correcting mechanism for cosmic order.βΈοΈ π£οΈππ§
Very nicely put. Dharma is the power that sets the wheel in motion. At the centre of the wheel is the Lord, the Witness, the
What is this phenomenon, and why does this happen and more importantly how can watch shows or movies in a detached way? I had a question regarding movies. I like watching different movies. But I have noticed that whenever I watch movies it has an effect like I have become the character so I feel the feelings of the character. π¬ποΈπ½οΈπΏ

Because of the worst possible turn of events, a lady suffered unbearable pain because of me. Because of this, I have become socially outcast and isolated. It feels worse when thoughts like ‘no one ever calls me’ come to me. Such thoughts make me unhappy.π§β¦ π₯π΅π½

People here are calling me a gossip monger because I happened to have confided into a few people (X & Y) around me about how another person(Z) ‘s behavior made me feel bad at a point of time. I never told that Z is bad but told I felt bad because of Z. I feel there is a difference between the two. I am feeling drained here at my workplace What to do, Alok Da? Kindly tellπ£οΈπ₯ππ’

Yesterday, in your video about the Bhagavad Purana, you said that this physical world began with Manu, and that before that, everything was happening in the subtle realm. So, where was the evolution of fish from water, forests, monkeys, and other animals taking place?ππ’π¦πβΈοΈ
The outer evolution follows the subtle inner truths that have already been established in principle. That is the whole logic of all true creation that
This is Q of my 6 year old daughter- When I was dropping her off at school, she asked, “Mummy, if we cut the body with a knife, why doesn’t the soul die?” I replied, “Because it is written in the Gita that the soul is ageless and immortal.” Then she asked, “What is it about the soul that makes it impossible for it to die?”πποΈβΎοΈπ€
Beautiful question. You can give her some examples of material things that cannot be killed or destroyed by knife, for example water, air, fire, space.

“A prayer, a master act, a king idea Can link manβs strength to a transcendent Force. Then miracle is made the common rule, One mighty deed can change the course of things; A lonely thought becomes omnipotent.” What is a master act and king idea meaning here?
