Sir as already mentioned I have only the Mother to cry when I have been through suffering. If a person in 50s have approached to marry me and I like some of his qualities and I am disliking others. I have taken wrong decision in the past by applying for Divorce and as I don’t wish to repeat it again by taking wrong decision; however unable to confirm if the Mother wants this man in my life or not, what should I do?πŸ’ … πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈβ¬…οΈ 🧍 ➑️

While this is a decision that only you can take, I can only provide some general guidance in this matter.

I again see a dream of Shri Krishna. In which a person gets down from a helicopter, he says something, then he moves ahead, then I see that he turns into Krishna, then I run behind him, maybe he was saying something to him, I don’t remember, then he turns back and looks at me and throws white Makhana and as soon as I pick up those Makhana, they turn into white pearls

Very beautiful vision. Sri Krishna has led you here and given you the seeds of lotus (makhana) giving you the assurance that one day the

I don’t seek to ask questions as asking questions feels kind of limiting something when there is river like flow of knowledge and peace, it’s just that in the span of few months, I lost my mother, and after that my girlfriend who seemed to be so perfect and loving to me, and asked to marry me and tell how perfect we were, and she too got married elsehwhere and now have a son. So the only thing which is making me move is the hope that in the end at least god will be there, when nothing else is left , but I sometimes feel what am I doing wrong that I’m not able to calm myself when I thought I was strong already and is there any steps I can take?🌊 πŸŽ’ πŸ˜«β›οΈ

Since my childhood through my Father I have been connected to Mother. I come to Pondicherry for Mother’s birthday for darshan day. Like you said I feel as if I am with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother very closely. After reading so many of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s book and putting into practice I still want more. Please elaborate whether we can feel the opening up or how and what is it one does in life to widen the opening?πŸͺ·πŸŒŒπŸŒ§οΈπŸŒΉ

Opening comes through thinking of The Mother, remembering Her inwardly, reading Their books, serving Them, concentrating upon the Mother’s Presence in the heart, calling …

I have mental disease, I take one tablet every night. I want to do Mother’s Yoga. Is Buddhi Yoga and mental control possible for patient because my mind cannot cease to think and I fear a lot in every moment. Mother says fear is hostile force. I am egoistic person and I have vanity, and also get angry sometimes and I don’t talk much, I am very vulnerable and emotional. I know Mother and Sri Aurobindo helps everyone. Is it possible to do Mother’s Yoga for patient like me?πŸŒ€πŸ§ πŸŒ«οΈπŸ•ΈοΈ

Everything is possible once the aspiration has awakened. Even if outer circumstances are averse and the inner nature not ready, yet we must follow the

Β I had posted on trauma of abuse in my teenage days…and now everything is getting better especially psychologically ..I am there fr my children, myself still recovering..may be it’s a journey….Mother knows …I have handed over it to the Lord now too..the burden …Through my therapist I got to know that a tunnel is open of past life ..from where the entities have been coming etc..🧸 🩹 ✨

Police complaint hardly helps in family matters. You have to ensure that the child is never alone in his company and preferably is kept away

I was studying the Gita in the light of Sri Aurobindo, where he mentions that as per Sri Krishna first you have to realize the Self and continue to work in a Yogic spirit and then surrender to me with love. I am bit confused here that whether one should focus on realizing the Self and then move towards Sri Krishna as we see in the life of Sri Aurobindo that he first realized Nirvana which was followed by Vasudevam sarvam iti? Or to start with surrender to Sri Krishna from the very beginning itself even prior to Self realization? The second alternative looks to me more appropriate than the earlier one, but just want to have your thoughts about my thought process?πŸͺˆπŸͺΆπŸŒ…πŸ“–

Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo both confirm that by surrendering to the Divine one will surely realise the Self as well as the Divine Personality

I am also The Mother’s child. When I was in my student life I came into the contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo due to my employer CA. Later I started going to the center and read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At present I am CA. In my early career I started teaching as profession but due to voice box issue I need to left. So I started with share market work but from last few months I am making losses. Recently I read The Mother’s literature where she say not to work in the field of Share Market. Now I don’t have enough client to even maintain my office expense. How should I earn to manage my livelihood? πŸ“ˆπŸ’°πŸ’Έ

I am not sure why you did not continue keeping CA as your main profession and instead went into the Share Market as the mainstay

I have been scolded and banned from using headphones in wards , which I used to listen to your videos or Mother’s music in free time. I keep feeling that I should just leave this pg seat and join Sri Aurobindo Ashram I know life won’t be easy n chill anywhere if I am not peaceful within but at least in Ashram I would be able to remember Maa all the time and wouldn’t have so many restrictions.

Could you please suggest me any Book by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother which I can recommend to them or say to all highly educated contemporary young adults having ingrained analytical thinking based on logical reasoning without any spiritual bent of mind?? Meanwhile, I will continue pray to The Mother for all these youngsters and finally trust Divine Grace which alone can infuse aspiration into their hearts. πŸŒ…πŸ–‹οΈπŸ¦πŸŒΈ

There are some good short compilations from the writings that work best. It will depend upon the kind of interest that the children have. A

If one realizes that trying to change others is a cycle of ignorance, how can they help those who have no apparent need for inner growth without forcing them into suffering, and is the “spark” of transformation solely the work of Grace, requiring us to let go of the urge to “fix” others? β³πŸ‚πŸŒ‘ β†’ πŸŒ•πŸ™πŸ»βœ¨

The Divine is the unchanging stable basis of everything but He is also in the change. That is why people are compelled to change despite
