I want to improve my concentration and become more focused? My college results are good, so I donโt always feel pressure to push myself harder. Although I know that I feel truly happy when I use my time properly and work on improving myself, still without pressure I donโt always give my full effort.๐ง ๐ง๐๐ฏ
You need to discover your passion, that unique something which draws you naturally and go deeper and deeper into it. Also try to find different
Every soul is destined to manifest one or two aspects of the Divine. My question – As the Divine has infinite aspects, are there an infinite number of souls, evolving on all earths? โจโจ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ค๐ค
Yes there are potentially infinite souls but not all of them enter the manifestation at a given point of time. …
Can the experience of Nirvana be equated with the experience of Impersonal/Formless Divine? And can the experience of Impersonal Divine be equated with that of non-existence? I was trying to lump all these three together.๐ง๐โพ๏ธ๐
Nirvana literally implies cessation, the stopping of the wheel of karma, of life and death. It is the state that transcends duality of every kind
My question is related to elite educational institutions like IIT. For students interested in Science and Maths (not biology), IIT admission is considered as highest aim for learning Engineering skills. However, as per the news and personal experiences, there is cut-throat competition, high suicide rate and heavy bombarding of distorted western values in these institutions. They do not impart any deeper sense, truth vision or higher values which can safeguard against fall. Students are made to study day and night to get into these institutions. Should any child of India really work extremely hard and aim for getting into such institution?๐๐๐ข๐
These higher values are best transmitted early in age. The high end institutions often dent it, not necessarily consciously but because they draw children who
There’s a contradiction going on inside me. Sometimes I have intense devotion for Sri Aurobindo and sometimes for The Mother. I chant the name of the one who comes to mind. The Lord says, “Open up to the Mother, surrender everything to her.” But what should I do when I feel devotion for the Lord? They are the same, but I don’t experience this, so it’s difficult to see one.โ๏ธ๐ชท๐ธ๐
Both are one. When you have love and devotion for Sri Aurobindo it automatically goes to the Mother and when you pray to the Mother
The more I am absorbed in the Mother and Sri Aurobindo the less comfortable with old friends as I feel very out of sync with them and so some loneliness occurs. I am not near any spiritual connection for satsang and I do have a daily commitment to my studies and aspirations. Do I remove myself from old social ways?๐ค๐ซ๐๐ณ
It is a very good sign, an inevitable phase as one crosses from the old to the new consciousness. Here is what The Mother wrote
I seek your guidance on a persistent right-side sleeping preference. Recently, repeated inflammation in the right jaw made me more aware of this pattern. Right-side lying brings calm and inwardness, whereas supine posture induces subtle anxiety. I wonder whether this lateral dominance reflects any deeper energetic or psycho-spiritual structure, or if it is purely mechanical. Should this tendency be consciously balanced, or simply observed without interference?๐ด๐ค๐
There is indeed a subtle difference in the side one sleeps. Even during the day there is a switching between nostril dominance. It is possibly
In every ashram there is one specific daily sadhanaย and initiation given to the devotess. Which helps in spiritual progress and healing the body through yogic sadhanas and improving concentration. Toh mera question hai ki Sri Aurobindo Ashram mein konsi sadhana or imitation diya jata hai to practice. How to heal ourselves as medicines sirf suppress karta hai . How to improve concentration to do our work more efficiently?๐ชท๐ณ๐๏ธโจ
Sri Aurobindo has given us a golden rule that one can apply and practice in every situation and circumstances.

I seek to live, along with my family, a life that expresses the highest potential inherent in human existence โ a life that mirrors, in its own measure, the glory of the Supreme Mother, the source of all Shakti and creation.However, despite this faith and continued practice, I experience a gap between knowledge, devotion, and visible transformation. I am seeking insight into how I could bridge this gap?โ๏ธ๐๐ง
The great gods and goddesses have to be approached with great humility and surrender. They see the truth behind the rituals and act on the
I listened to your recent youtube video “Who is The Mother?”. In this video,ย you mentioned that the Mother’s “Cling to the Truth ” statement was misinterpreted. Could you please explain what the Mother meant by these words and how was it misinterpreted?ย ๐โ๏ธ๐ก๏ธโ
It was not The Mother’s idea to put it. But The Mother accepted when it was put. Here is her own commentary on the subject.
How can I learn and understand more about Mahadev, how to worship him, etc.ย Can you suggest? I believe it is an extremely human mindset, but when I worship a god, they slide into a certain dynamic. Krishna is my brother. Lord is father/teacher and Mother isโฆ well, Mother.ย ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐
It is not a question of disrespect. It is just that the feelings should be translated into real life. Mata Parvati engaged in severe tapasya
When Mother was first shown Classics Illustrated children’s books, she remarked that they were “lamentably vulgar”. Would you know why she thought so?ย ๐๐๐ฐ๐
This is only one side of the story. It is equally true that She appreciated phantom comics and Sri Aurobindo enjoyed Curly Wee (now available
In Savitri, Aswapati had to travel many subtle worlds before reaching at the summit. I just want to know whether the person doing the sadhana must have to undertake the same journey during life time as well as after the physical body is discarded. Will the psychic being have to undergo the same route after death, even if a part is already covered during life time or skip those already covered?๐ โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐๏ธ
The journey of Aswapati is a very special journey taken consciously by him as the pathfinder and the pathmaker for the New Creation. It is
Sir, if someone came in Integral Yoga but after some time he got distracted in material things but he has aspiration to come back, he can’t able to come. Then will be be come someday again? If he didn’t come will he be destroyed, if he didn’t join again?๐โพ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐
Once one has been touched by the Grace it is rarest of rare to be lost because though plenty turn away from the Grace, it
When I read anand brahma Chapter of Synthesis of yoga then I found that I have experiencing these same thing much before. When I meditate or aspire or in the state of self giving then I find these two source where I feel peace, beauty, thril, wideness and anand. In different way such doubt in mother sri aurobindo which was very painful moment for me, ego, excessive ambition and sexuality etc. Now their impact is much less than before. When i take prayers and meditation books and randomly open the page i find “oh lord, you want i become your selfless worker than a meditative person”, “oh lord, don’t attach with your inner presence, make me a hero warrior so that i can surrender to you all parts of my being so that your complete manifestation will be possible”๐งโ๏ธ๐ชท๐
Your experience clearly indicate that you are quite well on the path. The lower nature is never easy to conquer in anyone. Even the strongest
You have said, ‘Then one would laugh at oneโs follies and hate and bitterness.’ I find this statement very powerful to counter all bitterness in me towards people. But, when I remember my past frictions with people and the way I was treated, I can’t help feeling anger for them. Is it becoming more difficult because of my psychosis?๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข
The more you justify these reactions the more they will linger and grow. Each one has to make a choice whether we keep living in
Since a few days, I have been seeing the time at 11:11 (both morning and night) without trying. I have heard that it’s a special number and it’s good to see it. Since the Mother has given meaning to numbers, is there really any truth to such beliefs?ย ๐ข๐ฏ1๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ3๏ธโฃ
Numbers are one of the ways that the Cosmos or Nature tries to communicate something to us, something that is either happening or about to
I have some questions after reading this text, because I have practiced Zen meditation, the Soto Zen zazen, for a long time. I don’t feel that Zen meditation is purely mental. What is the difference between meditation and concentration?๐ง๐ฎ๐๐
Meditation is a purely mental activity, which only concerns the mental being. One can concentrate while meditating, but this is mental concentration; one can attain
