I am 19 years old. I got addicted to pornography and masturbation out of boredom and loneliness especially during covid period. Now I have developed bad addiction to this and also I’m unable to overcome thoughts of those kind. I am constantly thinking of getting girls only for the sake of physical relationship with them and leaving (one night stand) And also I am disinterested towards studies and career and marriage. Yet I seek help. Please help me Alok da. What can I do😔?

Sometimes, when I feel down, I find myself pondering😣 how humans can attain divinity. I’ve read numerous articles in an attempt to understand this, and while they provide some clarity, I inevitably return to the same questions.
Humans are meant to attain divinity but doubt, desire, despair prevent us. The way towards divinity is not through articles by people who never walked

I just read your text about Trump’s election. Would one have preferred Kamala Harris to be elected🤨 ? Trump, in certain respects, is a detestable figure, but he has just appointed Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health. In the fight against globalism and the GAFA mafia, Kennedy Jr. has assets. He has denounced the COVID narrative and the manipulation of the masses. I dare to hope that Trump will be able to propose a diplomatic solution to end the war in Ukraine. Napoleon, in certain respects, was a detestable figure, and yet Sri Aurobindo saw him as a Vibuti (divine manifestation). Manifestation, isn’t it, is a very complex process?
In fact I see more promise in Trump than in Kamala Harris who came across as quite an uncertain person with no clear ideas. I
Is there a story behind how Jagjit Singh came to sing the bhajan Om Anandamayi Chaitanyamayi? As far as I know, this mantra is given by Sri Aurobindo only🤔?
As far as I know he was going through a very difficult phase of his life, having lost his son and separation from his wife.
Will a person like Sri Aurobindo come ever again on earth😊?
Yes, why not. The Mother herself has said that Sri Aurobindo will come in the first supramental body built in the supramental…

I want to ask if it is considered a sin to have a relationship or friendship while staying in the ashram? I live in pondy with my mother, who also works here in ashram. I have a friend, but my mother doesn’t like him. Whenever I meet him or do something against her wishes, she gets angry, abuses me, and starts fighting with me. I lose control of myself during these fights and end up crying😭.
Getting angry, screaming, fighting are far worse things than friendship. Friendship has never been a taboo in the Ashram as long as it doesn’t lead
Why does Shiva has snake🐍 around his neck?
The serpent in the neck of Shiva is the symbol of evolutionary force, the power that pushes us to come out of the ignorance and
Savitri had cosmic realisation before the death of Satyavan. Mother says once one has the psychic realisation one gets free from all the fears. Because fear comes from unconsciousness. Here Savitri is not just conscious about her soul, she has even discovered the cosmic consciousness. But this first line in below paragraph of Canto “Death in the Forest” indicates about grief and fear 🙄 “All grief and fear were dead within her now
There is no fear for herself but grief at the fate of human beings who suffer at the hands of death quite mercilessly. It is

Are there different planes for Christ and Prophet Mohammed, and do these planes even exist? Where do the Hindu gods fit on these levels of planes? And above all, is it correct to understand that there is only one Supreme above them all🤨?
From the accounts provided of the Heaven of the Christians and the Paradise of the Muslims it seems more like the vital heavens, Swarglok of
I often visit Pondicherry, but my aspiration feels weak when I’m there. At the Samadhi, I feel blank and don’t feel like sharing my problems to the Mother—it just doesn’t come naturally. I struggle to share everything. I feel like I go there to relax, even though I can easily connect with the Mother because the whole atmosphere is filled with her presence. But when I’m away from Pondicherry, I listen to your talks, read books, and my aspiration feels stronger. I write to the Mother my problems, good and bad days. It’s confusing why I don’t feel more aspiration when I’m in Pondicherry 🙄? Why does this happen?
But this is natural. Aspiration is a thirst for the Divine. But when you are at the ocean of Divine Love you don’t feel thirsty
