Alok da, when Sri Aurobindo came back form England his father had died but did he meet his mother after coming back š¤?
Yes. But she was in very poor psychological health.
Because as soon as I started reading The Garud Puran, the way it describes the hell, and how Yamadoots take souls thru the hell, I could not read anymore, because that is not the way my understanding has formed after my other readings. Yes, we have to resolve our Karmas, but the way Garud Puran describes it, I was not sure those Souls will learn anything from it, may be they will learn that what I did was wrong, and I should not do it again. But that is not resolving Karma, the wronged sides totally left out. But then again, I did not read further as I didn’t agree with it, may be it mentions the wronged side later onš¤Ø.
Puranas are not considered as supreme authorities. They belong to the class of Scriptures called Smriti. The authentic scriptures are the Vedas, Upanishads, Gita. They
I have a question about my father that Iāve been meaning to ask since he passed away some months back. Today, in a meditation on the psychic presence within, I saw him with his usual wide smile. I have been wondering how he is and where he is as he passed away in great pain and not sure how the passing was for him since he refused to discuss matters of the afterlife that I tried to bring up with him to prepare him. He was such a vital personality that I canāt imagine heās no more with us. Is this a sign that he heās now in the psychic worlds? I wanted to know how his life review was for his soul and if he was at peace with his passing as he was a real karmayogi. Iām still coming to terms with his passing in my human way.Ā I have also prayed so much for him and put him in Motherās arms. Was she with him when he passed over? Is there any message from him to me?š
His smiling appearance while meditating upon the heart centre indicates that he is safe and happy, still inwardly connected to you through the deeper heart,

How can we purify ambition? I feel driven to be very ambitious. But I know it will make me a selfish, ugly person and it is not something wise to do. I want to know how I can direct the energies in the right direction. What is a step by step method so that I don’t lose the motivationš¤Ø?

I have a question about effort. What does it mean when we wish for something very much and put a lot of effort into it but we fail? For example, as a child I wanted to grow tall and tried all sorts of things to grow taller. Then during one medical checkup the doctor told me that I will not be able to grow taller. I was in denial and I still kept trying. Ultimately the doctor was right and I felt very sad. Thankfully now I’m ok with it but I just want to know why this happens. Is it the will of the Divine or does he want us to persevere? Also how can we know when to persevere and when to quitš„?Ā
When efforts fail as they do fail sometimes it is to help us grow in strength and patience, perseverance, fortitude, even a deeper faith and
Integrity to soul vs integrity to somebody else. I feel itās a fine line and vulnerable to misuse in the name of soul integrity. But supposing somebody is following a higher call of the soul which comprises integrity to somebody else resulting in having to hide, lie, conceal etc. One side – there is following the true need – but does not lying, concealing etc. lower the consciousness ? Should we not always speak truth, be honest š«¤? Supposing the person youāve lied to comes to find out – will that not results in a deep hurt and scars? Where is the line between selfishness and following a higher call and need ?
Absolutely true. Lying, deception etc are as far from the true soul life as earth from the heaven. It is also true that all scriptures
