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.
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.
If Divine is in everything, why are there such repulsive places and things one earth, like I remember walking on the streets of Amsterdam and the things I saw, how can divine be there 🫨?
It is because the Divine has given man the exceptional privilege of being at least a partial or co-creator. And the first thing that man
I had a dream of which I can’t fully understand the message. I dreamt I’m in my room which is well lit but due to some work going on there are some boxes piled up on my bed. The floors are bare and the room is bare. I think that I will have to sleep in my mother’s room in that case. I enter my mother’s room and see that it is semi dark. I can see the bed but it’s not a well lit room. I tell my mother I have to sleep in her room. Somehow a light catches my eye and falls on something above the bed. I can’t tell at first what it is but with more light it illuminates an alligator in silhouette above the bed. So the alligator is dark and I can’t see any details and it seems to be waiting for me. At this point I wake up🤨
The new well lit room are portions of your being touched by the higher Light. It is however yet to be organised for you to
Reading Songs of the Soul: December 23, 2024 makes me think. Can the fire of aspiration🔥 and the discovery of our soul free us from the karmic chains of our egotistical reactions?
The fire of aspiration draws the rain of Grace that dissolves the chain of Karma. Discovery of the soul sets us free from ignorance and
I had a dream. I was in a weird tunnel of whitish light like a river 🌊and was underground in sort of a tunnel but I was not human but a ray of smth and I couldn’t be distinguished from the flow of that whitish river and there was another person in the form of me with me swimming ahead of me and I could communicate with the man without talking and I was going or more like swimming through that light and then a ball of light comes through an Opening from above the tunnel and turns into lady who is warning about the dangers ahead and that there will be rain of fire from all sides but I look at the man in front of me and go undettered swimming. That lady keeps the warning and stays there while I move ahead
Very interesting dream. The stream of white light and the ‘you’ which is a ray is your soul entering through a subconscient passage drawn by
Is it correct to say consciousness is a form of energy – the shakti 🔥?
Consciousness is not equivalent to energy. Energy is power, Shakti. Consciousness is what drives the power along the routes it must take, chetana. Of course
Those who try to escape every problem—whether in work or relationships—by constantly jumping from one thing to another, or by using money as a shield, by constantly changing relationship, often justify their actions with the phrase, “I’m just being practical.” But is being practical always the right approach, especially when it comes to emotions🤨?
Practical should always be aligned to the Ideal. Practical does not mean throwing all ideals and idealism out of the window. It rather means finding
What is infrarational in Sri Aurobindo’s terminology? In our today’s society, what are the infrarational elements? The new-age movement seems to have absorbed some spiritual intuitions but their expression is distorted. Are these infrarational in some way🤔? What’s the best solution to develop in the upward route from an infrarational position? I work in a scientific research background and a lot of confusions arise from within science itself and how most scientists/researchers explore the reality. The scientific method itself seems to have been diluted and an approval of masses are enough to establish the status quo. It’s not the same everywhere, but it is hard to fight this tendency in the current times.
Infrarational is primarily the vital animal, the physical and sense driven as well as the entire subconscious life of man. It also includes those elements
You mention “Thy beatific Smile” in Songs of the Soul: December 9, 2024. Does the Divine Mother manifest herself most often to you in a representation related to your Indian background or are you in the presence of an Idea of the Divine Mother😇.
he Divine Mother is infinite and can manifest in countless ways. Her Smile is a sign of assurance, one of the ways that She manifests
In Gita, Sri Krishna says “What is “Jap Yagya” and how is it performed?
Yagya is the offering we make to the Divine. There are three things here, the state of consciousness in which something is being offered, the
Follow up to my question about faith yesterday, can I claim to have 100% devotion and then worry about small things in life…..if I have faith then should i not just walk into everything life throws at me with full confidence….What should I do if I am Questioning my self in smaller things in life😐?
Faith and fear / worry do not go together. Devotion is a big word. It means asking nothing for oneself and giving everything to God.
Why does it happen that we can not like all the times the people we love😪?!
Liking is based on surface attractions, in certain vital physical affinities, even emotional satisfactions whereas love is based on something much deeper, the recognition and
I have recently gone through an emotionally intense relationship where someone I deeply cared for suddenly decided to marry someone else mainly due to family and societal pressure. I had strong emotional involvement in the relationship and never expected it to end this way😭. [conti]
It is natural to experience what you are going through following the sudden collapse of a beautiful dream which you took to be true. It
I often end up keeping a lot of anger 😤inside myself. I don’t know where this pattern comes from, but I think the main reason is that I try to always avoid confrontations with people. Yet, the anger still remains inside as negativity and tension. Sometimes I envy people who can just freely express their anger at others without suppressing it in this way. I think part of the problem has also to do with moral upbringing — the notion that anger is bad and that you should be composed. What would you suggest me to do? Is learning to express your anger better than keeping it inside?
I don’t think inability to express anger is the cause of anger! You will have to see why anger arises at all in the first
I’m a single woman living alone in a flat in a metro city. I feel very very cautious and very anxious due to this fact. I feel uneasy most of the time due to anxious 🫨look of uncouth people especially men around who are aware of the fact. So I feel very troubled about my safety and security. Also I want to overcome the very feeling and overcome ominous thoughts that trouble me. Also, I don’t have learnt techniques of self defense neither do I have any scope to learn it at this point of time.
Fear often attracts the feared. While caution is fine, one should never give the impression of being underconfident as it draws harmful forces near us.
Alok da, what is the meaning of complete faith. Does it mean faith is 100% devotion, dedication. If some one has faith, then should we question the smaller things in life🤔 ??
Faith implies that there is something we call as the Divine and hence there is a hidden divine guidance in life carrying us through everything.
Alok da what is the steps of soul and stages of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral yoga sadhana🙏?
The first step is aspiration, a sincere genuine aspiration. In the beginning this aspiration has to be nurtured by taking out a special time to
This is in reference to the above quote from Sri Aurobindo that “This yoga is a spiritual battle; its very attempt raises all sorts of adverse forces and one must be ready to face difficulties, sufferings, reverses of all sorts in a calm unflinching spirit.🤔”
These things come to test the strength and sincerity of our aspiration.
You have spoken about the mind of light that Sri Aurobindo created to help us evolve. In a similar way, the Mother developed a body of light. Do we all have capacity and access to develop this body of light within us? If so, what should we do to develop it and how will it help in our sadhana😊?
The Mother spoke about the New Body she had developed through the Yoga of transformation just as Sri Aurobindo spoke of the Mind of Light
