I have mental disease, I take one tablet every night. I want to do Mother’s Yoga. Is Buddhi Yoga and mental control possible for patient because my mind cannot cease to think and I fear a lot in every moment. Mother says fear is hostile force. I am egoistic person and I have vanity, and also get angry sometimes and I don’t talk much, I am very vulnerable and emotional. I know Mother and Sri Aurobindo helps everyone. Is it possible to do Mother’s Yoga for patient like me?๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿง ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ

Police complaint hardly helps in family matters. You have to ensure that the child is never alone in his company and preferably is kept away

I was studying the Gita in the light of Sri Aurobindo, where he mentions that as per Sri Krishna first you have to realize the Self and continue to work in a Yogic spirit and then surrender to me with love. I am bit confused here that whether one should focus on realizing the Self and then move towards Sri Krishna as we see in the life of Sri Aurobindo that he first realized Nirvana which was followed by Vasudevam sarvam iti? Or to start with surrender to Sri Krishna from the very beginning itself even prior to Self realization? The second alternative looks to me more appropriate than the earlier one, but just want to have your thoughts about my thought process?๐Ÿชˆ๐Ÿชถ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ“–

Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo both confirm that by surrendering to the Divine one will surely realise the Self as well as the Divine Personality

For quite a few years I have been under significant financial pressure due to debt, and despite sincere effort and responsibility on my part, I feel stuck. This on going constraint has begun to affect my inner state and my approach to the Divine, and I wish to understand the right attitude a sadhak of Integral Yoga should hold in such circumstances.๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ

There is a beautiful passage in Savitri which is quite illustrative of the attitude needed as we pass through the various challenges of life.

I read in Agenda 3 April 1962: “I am no more in my body. I have left the Lord to take care of it, if it is to have the Supramental or not. I know, and I have also said, that now is the last fight. If the purpose for which this body is alive is to be fulfilled, that is to say, the first steps towards the Supramental transformation, then it will continue today.”๐Ÿ˜‡โ™พ๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŒ

The first statement of the Mother about no more being in the body and the Religion in the name of Sri Aurobindo is on the

I am also The Mother’s child. When I was in my student life I came into the contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo due to my employer CA. Later I started going to the center and read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At present I am CA. In my early career I started teaching as profession but due to voice box issue I need to left. So I started with share market work but from last few months I am making losses. Recently I read The Mother’s literature where she say not to work in the field of Share Market. Now I don’t have enough client to even maintain my office expense. How should I earn to manage my livelihood? ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ธ

I am not sure why you did not continue keeping CA as your main profession and instead went into the Share Market as the mainstay

I have been scolded and banned from using headphones in wards , which I used to listen to your videos or Mother’s music in free time. I keep feeling that I should just leave this pg seat and join Sri Aurobindo Ashram I know life won’t be easy n chill anywhere if I am not peaceful within but at least in Ashram I would be able to remember Maa all the time and wouldn’t have so many restrictions. Any advice on this how to deal with such situation??๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ

Could you please suggest me any Book by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother which I can recommend to them or say to all highly educated contemporary young adults having ingrained analytical thinking based on logical reasoning without any spiritual bent of mind?? Meanwhile, I will continue pray to The Mother for all these youngsters and finally trust Divine Grace which alone can infuse aspiration into their hearts. ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒธ

There are some good short compilations from the writings that work best. It will depend upon the kind of interest that the children have. A

If one realizes that trying to change others is a cycle of ignorance, how can they help those who have no apparent need for inner growth without forcing them into suffering, and is the “spark” of transformation solely the work of Grace, requiring us to let go of the urge to “fix” others? โณ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ‘ โ†’ ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ

The Divine is the unchanging stable basis of everything but He is also in the change. That is why people are compelled to change despite

I just listened your response to the question about ‘Positive Thinking, Negative Thinking and Thinking Divinely’. The examples you gave and what you said about wanting only the Divine Will to prevail, no matter what happens to oneself, I feel that’s what Love means, that’s the Ideal in my Heart, not what I’m doing now. How does one make that choice at each moment or at least at every turn?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ก

Why does Sri Aurobindo appear to be so severe and repetitive in his critique of Shankara’sย Mayavadaย  compared to other schools likeย Vishishtadvaita, and is this intensity necessary to dislodge a 2000-year-old dominance from the Indian psyche, or is there a more gentle path forย Mayavadinsย to transition to the Integral vision? ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ

Yes. That is quite a pertinent observation. But first we must understand that his remarks are not about Shankara and Buddha as a person, –
