Why don’t we humans unite as one country instead of doing war😣?

Please explain Sri yantra. Few say that it is the geometrical depiction of all aspects within the universe created out of the union of Shiva & Shakti (Bindu) and thus is the true representation of the Adi Parashakti – Dynamic Aspect of the Divine🤔.
Sri Yantra is a symbol depicting the perfect harmony and unity of the three higher three lower worlds leading to a blossoming of creation towards
We get angry 😡 in just a fraction for a small reason but you try to fight for your wrong why?
Anger is a sign of weakness. It covers the truth. When angry we become blind and are unable to distinguish anymore between right and wrong.
There are days when you experience a sense of detachment from The Mother. The pain of being apart is so intense 😣 that even the simplest task, like breathing, feels overwhelming. At times, everything flows smoothly like a gentle breeze. How do we cope when we encounter this sense of disconnection, as it often takes a long time to regain our footing? Even after listening to Her music or reading, it feels like you’re starting from scratch?
This happens to everyone and often for a long time because our consciousness is divided. There are different parts with different needs, there are desires
How can one know whether the surrender to divine mother is complete or not ? As our human mind raise questions of everything😏, are we really moving towards on this path Sri Aurobindo & The Mother showed us.
The sign of perfect surrender is a state of inner Peace in all circumstances. There is also freedom from desire and the egoism of Nature.
I strongly believe that nothing happens without a reason. Sir, Please I really request you to tell what kind of karma have I done in my previous births to have so much mental pain😓?
In this life itself we can often see the sprouts of suffering though the seeds may have been cast in previous lives. Whatever it be
Who made germs ?
Nature has made numerous countless things including germs that can harm or even help. In fact you can look upon this world as a big
I did not say that the soul has created ignorance. My submission was – The world is created only when the soul chooses to cover itself with ignorance. If she does this then can’t we assume that she wants to enjoy the world, its joy & pain, strength & weakness, evil & goodness? The soul being omnipotent, cannot be forced to cover itself with ignorance and falsehood unless it wishes to do so. Thus what should be her purpose other than this?
The ignorance is a creation of the Divine Maya, which operates in two ways, vidyamayi or a force of knowledge and oneness, and avidyamayi, a
History tells us that we have been great civilised and strong nation then how could we be slaved for 1200 years?
We fell for two reasons. The immediate cause is an excessive tilt towards Mayavada (Illusionism) under the influence of Buddha and Shankara. I am not

Why is it so challenging to put into practice what we read in books📚 ?

I have been working hard to get Kamla Harris get elected. As you know Donald Trump won and has won convincingly. I am sure Republicans think differently, but us Democrats we think that Trump is not good for US or the world. His ambitions are to become a dictator. I, we worry that if Trump, Un, Xi, Putin, Netanyahu and Mush get together it will be a disaster😱. Actually I had had a vision last year about this and that is why I got politically involved. You had given me an example of Ramayan and Mahabharat recently, on the day of elections as results started coming in I was first numb, as Americans have elected him unanimously! That night as I was meditating, I realized the example of Ramayan and Mahabharat, that it had to get so bad and ugly before the Divine intervention. But does that mean we have to wait till that times comes, or is there anything we can do so it won’t happen? I had full faith in Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, but as results started coming in I was questioning my faith.
Besides how do we know what is good and from what and whose view point? Republicans in general and President Trump in particular have been

These days, due to negative news, parents are often afraid to send their daughters far from home, and even if they do, they remain constantly worried. Is their fear justified😠?
This fear or rather apprehension is not only natural and normal but actually a protective reflex in parents, mostly in mothers as a maternal instinct.
Most of our scriptures (except Gita & Upanishads etc) are full of different types of ritual, vrata & sadhana methods and various forms of worship. In southern parts these are more prominent. I can see most of us are following these rituals without understanding its core purpose. Please explain why so much importance is given to them in our Shastras 🤔?
As you yourself said the main shashtras do not give importance to these rituals. Besides their importance was always relative to the real elements of
