What is the difference between the truth of the Individuality (Swabhava) and the Truth of the Collectivity. Which one is the goal of individual sadhana? When each one of us will be able to reach our highest individual truth which is Jivatman can we say that we have realized the Self or the Divine🤔?
Swabhava and swadharma is the expression of the individual soul, the true self through nature, temperament, way of life and being. Similarly there is a

As a Mother’s child, I have been practicing Integral yoga from many years. But I have also interest to learn other occult practices such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, Hypnosis, Viapasana and some Purification process as mentioned in Jainism, just to prepare myself inwardly🤨 and also have the experience of the inner realm.
There is no taboo in learning these different forms of knowledge systems as long as one knows that…
In the Old Yogas, Yogins have confirmed to have Self Realisation or realization of Jivatma. But according to my understanding from Sri Aurobindo’s writings, Jivatma is the Vigyanamaya Purusha whose abode is Supermind. But since non of the realizations from Old Yogas had reached the Supramental Consciousness, then how we can say that they have realized the Jivatman which is also the goal of Vedantic realization🤔?
The origin of Jivatman is in the Supermind but a portion of it descends in the adventure of Time and Space as the psychic essence
What to do in situations when you feel uncomfortable going to social functions because of people getting drunk there, etc. when it’s your close relative’s invitation😥? Socially, it would be considered rude and devious to decline attending such events. In terms of one’s career, it can even be harmful to do so because you will miss out on a lot of business opportunities, as ridiculous as it may sound. But on the other hand, I find myself really feeling uncomfortable in such events, almost suffocating. Is it okay to openly share that due to your spiritual path, you don’t want to engage in such activities, or is it better to come up with some excuse or other, such as you have some important work to do, etc? This is a situation I’m facing on a regular basis, and so far I’ve only been submitting to the pressure, to my own discomfort and dissatisfaction.
I can understand this very well having gone through it during my Air Force days. I can share my formula with you and it is
In the light of Gita’s concept of tyaga and sanyasa, can we look at Buddha’s spiritual actions as an example of sanyasa, external renunciation? Because he gave up on kingdom and family to be able to pursue Truth. Then again, from what I have read of Buddha’s words himself, he did not pay much attention to external fanfare. He told the monks ‘You can put on the robe in fifteens minutes but learning true monkhood will take you lifetimes of effort as one needs to have a pure mind first.’ This looks like he emphasised more on tayra 🤨. I was wondering how you look at this.
I never felt a sanyasi in the Buddha just as I never felt a sanyasi in Sri Aurobindo leaving behind everything as he sailed to
What is the difference between Psychic realization and Psychicisation? Similarly what is the difference between Spiritual Realization and Spiritualization🤔?
Psychic realization means finding the soul with its attendant consequences of ahaituki (unconditional) bhakti and absolute self giving to the Divine. Psychicisation means all the
How can one maintain peace of mind, if one faces a property dispute court case, which by its very nature, is the killer of peace😢?
If you regard anything as yours and desire it for personal pleasure then obviously there can be no peace. Desires, wants and peace don’t go
Can one be established in the soul🌟 through actions?
What else is the Gita all about. Of course plenty of Yogis such as lineage of Janak, Sri Krishna, Arjuna and Sri Aurobindo himself found
Do I think too much?I told you during meditation some thought/question attracts my attention and I is strong enough that I know I need to find the answer. And when I get that ‘AHA’ moment I know that is the correct answer. I get physical reaction at that moment too. The best way to describe it is what I have seen on tv and in movies, when the fine electric shock to person’s heart to bring him back. I kind of feel mild jolt near heart and I get a mild convulsion thru my body. No pain, no discomfort. What is this🤔?
It is an aha moment, the opening of an inner door leading to a flash of insight…..
You mentioned in one of your speeches that people typically seek a spiritual path when they are dissatisfied with the world or realise its limitations. The first strategy is a little pessimistic because Mother mentions that if the same world begins to meet your wants, you might become enamoured or attracted once more. However, what if we are just in the initial stage, such as being unhappy with the world? Does it still serve as a launching pad for our spiritual development🤨?
Yes certainly whatever makes one turn towards and seek the Divine, even if it be for material goods or well-being is fine. But for this
How to deal with people with whom you are connected in your daily life, you cannot avoid them but they are completely dilution and self centered and they can go on and on as how good they are, how superior they are than others and blah blah now how to react and they expect you to indulge in a conversation and one has nothing more to add? Sometimes I am shocked as I wonder are they even listening to what they are saying🙄? These type of new people I just don’t indulge more I keep any relations but what to do with the ones whom The Mother has put around you?
I fully understand and have gone through this phase in the beginning of the Yoga. Used to switch off inwardly, directing the consciousness to concentration
It would help if you could clarity two terms Life and Thought, from the Life Divine. This is from the opening para of the chapter Reality Omnipresent: Since, then, we admit both the claim of the pure Spirit to manifest in us its absolute freedom and the claim of universal Matter to be the mold and condition of our manifestation, we have to find a truth that can entirely reconcile these antagonists and can give to both their due portion in Life and their due justification in Thought, amercing neither of its rights, denying in neither the sovereign truth from which even its errors, even the exclusiveness of its exaggerations draw so constant a strength🤔 (pg. 29)
Life is the means through which matter begins to aspire and seek, however vaguely towards the Spirit. Life is also the energy needed for anything,
There’s something very fascinating about the apocalyptic imagery to the human mind from ancient flood mythologies to the fascination with nuclear armageddon, something in the spirit craves destruction and blowing it all up, Many actually crave Kali’s dance of destruction. How to understand this psychological impulse and phenomenon😐?
Yes, human mind is always caught between these two forces, Love and Death. Love gives birth to new life, nurtures and nourishes it, releases the
Please inform what is the difference between Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri Mantra and previous Gayatri Mantra🤔?
There are three things to be considered in a mantra, the Chhanda or metre, the Rishi or the Mantradrsta, the Deity to whom it is
In the Prayers and Meditation 3 September 1919 The Mother writes: “Since the man refused the meal I had prepared with so much love and care, I invoked the God to take it.” About which meal Mother has mentioned here, that then Mother give it to The God🙄?
The meal is the material creation which She had prepared for receiving the Divine Consciousness but man does not want it. He prefers the falsehoods
Alok da, where is the mind located? Can it be located🤨?
