We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.Ā
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
I am a 70-year-old religious man and I regularly watch and read your talks and answers. I donāt know why, but I find all your responses related to rituals and worship very rigid. According to you, these things donāt hold much importance, perhaps because they are not emphasized in your favorite text, the Gita. Step out of your air-conditioned drawing room and comfortable environmentāonly then will you understand the importance of worship and rituals, which are for common people who struggle daily even for basic needsš³.

But who is saying that one ‘should not do’ Pooja and rituals if one wants to or is naturally interested and attracted towards them? All
I need to take a decision ,(about winding up my small bakery business) I was confused, I was in fearš±, I was asking for help, that am I doing a right thing ? Shall I do it? Kept writing letters to mother, my one part was clinging and one part was rigid and in fear so my question is : how will I be able to hear to mothers guidance cz in between all this happenings of my mind and body I wasn’t able to understand the link between me and mother. How will I understand if she is stopping me or giving me a green flag? Please put some light on it Dada.
The question one has to ask is not whether one should do this or that but why does one want to do it. If one
In Book One Canto Five, Aswapati saw āa golden ladder carrying the soulš„, / Tying with diamond threads the Spiritās extremes. In Book Two, Canto One the world stair is discussed in detail. 1) Is this stair the same as the golden ladder, one that connects the Inconscience to Superconscience?
Yes it is the supramental link that connects the One to the Many, the Creation to the Creator….
I am 29 year old. From the very early childhood l am so attracted towards traditional spirituality, After joining society, Maa is so merciful to me and I can feel the guidance of her intuitively, the way serious of events happen. But last month IĀ visited Ramkrishna mission, now the childhood attraction is arising again.

I have been reading the Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo and getting very inspired by his references to the old European civilisations. I am at a cross-road where I have to choose a field of study. Society, parents tell me I should choose something practical — finance, economics, business? But I have set my mind on going into Ancient history. I want to do it because of the knowledge alone. I have been criticised for it because I may be taking an unsafe road. All this feedback from others makes me doubt myself. I sometimes feel like I am being irresponsible, and sometimes that is why I no longer want to open up to people due to these social pressures. I have no way of knowing the future, what is has in store for me. Is education for the sake of knowledge itself dead? Is servile education really the spirit of this ageš¤?
There is a reason why the future is hidden from us. It is so that instead of making a choice based on outer gains and
Have the seven pheras š„become outdated? Can we add or reduce the number according to modern times?

Congratulations to you and your team, Sir: “The purpose is to raise one’s vibrations through worship, faith and devotion that match the frequency of the Goddess in order to receive her grace” Request your comments on this sentenceš.

Someone asked me, “Give me a solid reason why it is necessary for a human being to know that he is a soul and how it will help him in leading a peaceful life” According to this person when he tried for it his entire life turned into chaos and grief” Your answer pleaseš¤Ø.
I don’t know what this person tried but if his life turned topsy turvy and hence he abandoned the pursuit then it means that he
Sometimes I wish I was driven by a mad vital desire for self improvement, physical fitness, and getting into high income high skilled job. This would have driven me to exceed myself in these areas, whereas now, in the absence of these desires, and also in the absence of the psychic fire to prepare the instrument for the sake of the divine, I find myself utterly incapable driving myself to work on becoming better than what I am right now š«¤
Well desire is certainly better than tamasic inertia, but it need not be a mad desire. Desire restrained by the sattwic mind, a discerning reason,
Some people identify as atheists ā they donāt believe in God or any higher power, yet they strongly believe in the value of hard work, discipline, and ethical living. They focus on doing their work and trust that consistent effort will eventually bring good results, more and more money. Interestingly, such individuals tend to be quite successful in life outwardly. What are your thoughts in this? What is the fundamental difference in the way a theist and an atheist live their livesš¤?
Success comes wherever there is sincerity and effort. It has nothing to do with our inner or outer beliefs. I have seen genuine, sincere workers,
On training the will power. Mother says that will power is trained by using it. I am a very systematic person and would like to take a systematic approach to everything I do. I try to become conscious of myself and apply my will whenever possible but the trouble is that it takes a long time to become conscious of what needs to be done. Can you give some general guidelines on how one can take a systematic approach to this training of the will? Something in me has a deep necessity of developing this will, all I need is the right approach where I can measure the results and see the progress in a tangible form. If you can be very specific, it would be really helpfulš¤Ø
It is desires and impatience that weaken the will, especially the sense of urgency to gratify an impulse.
By not acting impulsively, by postponing

Iām 35 now, and I find myself sitting with a tender and important question: whether or not to have a child.When I was 33, I was going through a deep process of separation from my teacher, like a mother. During that time, the desire to have a baby started to surfaceāit even began to appear in my paintings. It felt like a natural longing [conti]
