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.
What I understand here is, in old Yoga also there was Psychisization and Spiritualization although they were using this for Liberation only🤨?
Not psychicisation and spiritualisation but psychic and spiritual realisations except for some incidental changes in nature. If one reads carefully the literature and life of
In one of your talks you said that after 1961 Mother was out of Her body but She had to undergo pain for some reason. Can you explain me a little clearly as why Mother who was the Divine had to undergo this pain in her body. I mean she could have avoided it if She wanted. But why She didn’t do that🤔?
If She avoided the pain, it would mean She was just like any of us looking after Her personal welfare though with a greater power
In one of the answer you advised us to approach one of the main four gods. What about the goddess?What if the main four aspects of the divine is represented as follow:-1) Sat / Brahma 2) Chit-Tapas / Shiva- Shakti 3) Anand / Vishnu. The above looks more appropriate to me based on the Chapter 12 – Vishnu, the All-Pervading Godhead of Part 2 of The Secret of the Veda🤔.
If this appeals to you, it is fine. Sri Krishna would not object to it. However here is what Sri Aurobindo himself has written. <br
My grandmother is a very pessimistic and depressive person. And I noticed that relating tends to attract some accidents and bad luck in my life. She always says things like “I don’t wanna live”. But because she is so alone in life I feel a certain sense of guilt if I don’t relate to her and speak with her more often. Am I a heartless person if I choose not to sympathize with her self-pity and thus stay away😥?
Each one is responsible for what they do, the attitudes they take and the inevitable consequences they have to go through. No one can undo
When two people who were once in love decide to part ways, what’s the right way to behave afterwards? Is it fair for one person to react impulsively, by blocking, avoiding, and acting like nothing ever existed between them, just because the relationship didn’t work out😢?
Such an outward behavior (blocking, acting like nothing existed) shows that perhaps there never was love from the person who is doing so. The person
Sir, is it not the air in the mind where it is, but space in the head? Therefore, does the ‘thought of the mind’ have any sound? Yet, it feels like I am hearing it. And when I speak, it strikes the ears because it is outside, and then we are able to hear it👂?
Thoughts move in the subtle ether. Besides Vayu is not just this physical Vayu. It is the power that lifts, expands and transfers everything within
Yesterday on my morning walk when I saw workers out there sweeping the roads it suddenly struck me that how much do we have to battle against the dust, rust and filth from our own homes to the entire ecosystems of cities. Corrosion, decay, smell and bacteria keep us on vigilance every single day. Is this cos of the inconscient foundation of the cosmos?How to understand it metaphysically🤨?
Not taking care of the material basis of life is the sign of unconsciousness and stems from the old idea of disgust of the world.
How to cultivate quietude ? Then how to establish Peace ?I’ve been searching for such a long time. I know it needs to be done, but nobody is telling me how. Please tell me how to establish the first steps at least😯 [conti]
The Mother has advised calling Peace as a way of life.
‘How can we establish a settled peace and silence in the mind?
Do Lord Shiva, Brahman & Vishnu belong to OVERMIND/ ADHIMANAS alike Lord Krishna.🦚?
In their supreme origin, these gods are part of the One Supreme Divine. In their action and working so far they have acted from the
What made Mother to get rid of Physical Ego as told to Shiv ji🤔?
Here is the whole experience as described by the Mother. ‘In 1926, I had begun a sort of overmental creation, that is, I had brought
Why do people always seek to be seen as good by others? What mindset drives this attitude🤨?
Being seen good by others is different from being good. Being seen good stems from the need for social approval, often due to an underlying
I need your clarification on one point. Is our destiny predestined, or we create our destiny on the basis of the choices that we make in our life🤔?
At the highest level the lines and the steps of destiny are all determined. However at the level where we operate it is better to
How can I avoid getting irritated over small things? I have a short temper and want to learn ways to manage my emotions and stay calm in everyday situations. What simple practices can help me develop better self-control, patience, and emotional resilience in daily life😐?
First thing is to cultivate the habit of not speaking or acting impulsively when in a state of anger. Even if one succeeds occasionally to
Alok da, some time back I had an argument with my mother as she said I was rude with my brother and so first I told her she is making a big deal while me and my brother are fine and then the argument got into shouting when she was lecturing me about being an elder sibling and my responsibility blah blah blah and when I told her that, “Well please first see how you both are with your siblings and the example you set then tell me”, and I know that I am much better and more responsible than them😠, so of course the situation went out of hand and she created a tantrum for a week, I know I was not in the wrong but I am just curious how can this situation be handled better? Can a child not tell a parent that you should practice before you preach?
Certainly one should be free to discuss freely and frankly with parents, teachers, elders everyone. Nachiketa, Prahlad, Lakshman, Sita are all examples among many others.
Please help me to understand difference between Energy of Science and Concept of Shakti in spirituality.
The Energy of Science is part of jada prakriti or material nature. Just like matter itself it is unconscious in itself and acts by a
I heard someone say that we, Hindus, have a responsibility to protect Sanatan Dharma. If we fail to do so, it may disappear within the next 200–500 years, and Hindus could become a minority🤔
These ideas of defending the dharma are probably based on the injunction in the Manu Smriti, repeated in the Mahabharata as below. धर्म एव हतो
Often when I go into solitude for meditation🧘♀️ for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldn’t see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple — it was me walking around some “school” if it can even be called that” with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I haven’t felt that way since, and I still don’t know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?
Sometimes a state of outer crisis, an illness for instance, open an inner door of help. A withdrawl from the waking state is anyways conducive
I am in a very trapped situation😩, I love someone and he also loves me but he is married and now has a son too, my family came to know about it, he tells me that you will commit a sin, you will have to face the curse of that boy, on top of this I love him a lot but I am not able to accept his son, I am not able to understand what is the true Dharma for me, I am praying to The Mother again and again but am not getting any answer.
Love has little to do with wants and cravings and desires. These things distort the true movement of love and hence almost invariably lead to
