Every day mumma š„makes me sleep but I canāt sleep then she scolds me and I cry, I am allowed to go in her room if I wake up in the night but every day I donāt like it. Why every day I canāt sleep. From yesterday she goes away and says you can come in the room after 45 or 50 mins and I hate it I listen to your talks in that time And I canāt sleep without mumma so in the mean time I listen to your talks , sit in bed ( not sleep ) and play with my stuff toy ( rarely ) How can I sleep without mumma and why do I need mumma. This every day since 4 days is irritating. And while sleeping I get irritation in my body I feel some insect is roaming around my leg but when I check there is nothing why does this happen

Difficult situations in life should make one stronger, but it has happened the opposite in my case. I have become more fearful after facing those difficulties of the past. Now, I trembleš«Ø at the thought of any further difficult situations coming my way. Just to mention here – I have been taking antipsychotics for the past 15.2 years.

Last night, I had another dream in which there was a small snakeš outside my old house, and with me was a friend whom I have met very few times and barely know. We tried to kill that snake, but it ran towards the drain of our old house. There, we saw another small snake, and both of them went inside the stone covering the drain. When we removed the stone, we saw a very large snake that extended into the neighbor’s house through that drain. I ran back and told my friend to step back because it was very dangerous. But my friend stayed there to kill it. The snake spoke and said, “How can I leave from here? I’ve been here for so many years.” The snake was very large and lived in the drain near our old house, with its tail inside the neighbor’s house. What does this mean, Alok Da?
It means some old hostile formation is around and while they are being chased, the main force behind them is deeply entrenched in that area.

You said that just reading books isnāt enough, but from my understanding, if one wants to follow Sri Aurobindoās yoga, the first step should at least be reading their works. Please correct me if Iām wrong. And if reading alone isnāt enough, how should one practice it, specially since itās so vast and deepš?
Yes, reading books is helpful but evidently it is not enough. Even in ordinary fields of knowledge such as physics, biology, arts, literature etc we
Why is it that some 50-year-olds, despite having experienced so much in life and claiming to be wise, still fail to grasp certain basic truths? When I ask them not to think negatively, they insist theyāre not being negative, just realistic. They say, āThis is how humans are. We have endless responsibilities. You younger ones wonāt understand, our minds are always preoccupied.ā I canāt help but wonder how, after all these years, they still havenāt learned the fundamentals.š”
Yes some people never really grow up and learn. Instead they take it that whatever they have been or learnt is the ultimate truth and

In his book “The Mother”, Sri Aurobindo writesā”In all that is done in the universe, the Divine through his Shakti is behind all action but he is veiled by his Yoga Maya and works through the ego of the Jiva in the lower nature.” What does “Yoga Maya” mean?

In Agenda volume 13, April 7, 1973 it looks like Pranab da treated both the Mother and Satprem badly. Why did he restrict Satprem from meeting the Mother? It is said that Nolini da and Champaklal, all were scared of Pranab da. Why is thatš¤?
