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 helpโšœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒŒ

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

Over a long period of time, quite passively, slowly, a faith has developed, possibly still in its early stages of formation.ย  If the Lord and the Mother say something which, if I grasp correctly, becomes my final word with least doubts. They are The Absolute Truth to me.ย I luckily had no religious background from childhood and was least interested in religion and โ€œreligiousโ€ God.ย What should be my FOCUS in this life on?ย ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“๐Ÿงย ย 

One of the most beautiful answer that the Mother gave to this question about ‘Who am I’ is very simply, ‘the Divine in many disguises.

I know my question may sound a little funny, but it is a very serious matter for me. God has designed the human body so perfectly โ€” every organ performs its function with remarkable efficiency. Yet when it comes to the heart, I often feel confused. Why is the heart โ€œprogrammedโ€ in such a way that when someone enters it, it can take years to forget them, bringing so much pain and emotional turmoil?๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’”

Yes, the very same memories that help connect the dots of life become a source of pain when the heart-strings are snapped suddenly. The root

From a materialistic worldly perspective, I don’t have anything substantial with me. All I have is the daily grind of earning a livingโ€”nothing more. I don’t know why I couldn’t progress further in life. Even though I have a family with a daughter, I haven’t been able to build a house or secure a well-paying job. As long as I live, I have to keep doing some work or the other. There’s no guarantee of age or health for me. I have no complaints about this life, but somewhere, the need for money keeps arising.๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฐโŒš๐Ÿ“ฆ

Fate is always a mixed baggage for everyone. The silver lining is that despite the rigors and the challenges, despite the stresses and the sufferings

Along with that I have also judged people specially boys who do intoxicants. Like they are not serious about their life and the health impact it has on them. Like itโ€™s an addiction and not a sign of strong character. A weakness. What are your thoughts on that.ย And what about higher drugโ€™s like lsd etc..ย ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿท๐Ÿšฌ

Addictions of all kinds do indicate a weakness of will. And the more we indulge in it the weaker we become.

Dear Alokda, Can you please tell me how I reject this type of music and can you also tell me some good music which can help in Sadhana and staying close to the Divine Mother? I love listening to music, have explored a lot of genres but I end up going back to listen to western Hippop a lot. But my inner conscience is not happy with the type of lyrics that I hear, because all they talk about is money, women, violence, drugs and other asuric characteristics . On other side there is a bit gentler melodic music in which they sing about being caught up in emotions, attachment and hopelessness. ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽค

I am glad you have understood the concept very well. It is a common confusion because each age is flooded with the most popular music

What do u feel on tarot and all these prediction based things.. is there any truth and reality in them. I had consulted a few and mostly I see their answers are negative when it comes to other people and relationships.. sometimes it helped as it was self assertive when it was only about me..What are your thoughts on it?ย ๐ŸŽด๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŒ‘

These predictions whether through astrology or tarrot only indicate possibilities. They dip into the person’s subconscious mind or else try to read the notation of

My question is on the part where you mentioned about people who sacrifice for greater love like creative writersย  or leaders. In the closing sentence, you mention social duty. Please clarify my misunderstanding – I have always considered sacrificing for nation or inspiring others as social duty. What qualifies as a social duty? And how can one become a sacrifice and another an attachment?ย ๐Ÿ–‡๏ธ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ‘ฅ๐Ÿค

Social duties are primarily those born out of social relationships as an accepted convention in a given society. They are not truth but they help

“All depends on what you want. If you want Yoga, take all that happens as the expression of the Divine Grace leading you towards your goal, and try to understand the lesson that circumstances give.” (The Mother) My question – is it fine, if while trying to ‘understand the lesson’, we make mistakes? I mean to ask, if we misinterpret the lesson, will the Divine take care of it?โœจ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒน

To the Divine Consciousness there are no mistakes. Human beings go through the experiences, pleasant and painful due to the Ignorance in which they live.

Da I โ€‹โ€‹am 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?๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

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 ย 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)?๐Ÿชˆ๐ŸŽโ˜ธ๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ

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
