A limited nuclear war is quite likely. It is about the Third World War about which i said would not happen.

Sri Aurobindo explains to Nirod da: ‘A little observation ought to show that you are not manufacturing your own thoughts, but rather thoughts occur in you. Thoughts are born, not made—like poets, according to the proverb. Of course, there is a sort of labour and effort when you try to produce or else to think on a certain subject, but that is a concentration for making thoughts come up, come in, come down, as the case may be, and fit themselves together. The idea that you are shaping the thoughts or fitting them together is an egoistic delusion. They are doing it themselves, or Nature is doing it for you, only under a certain compulsion;’🤔

The Peace and Quietude within me is increasing day by day but I’m having to protect it like a precious flame. When I work it’s fine, mixing with others is fine (in small doses), and all the other outer movements I’m finding ok. However, at certain points I become quite externalised and then feel a tremendous pain coming out of touch with this inner quietude and then I have to sit and concentrate to regain it. It comes back quicker each time is what I’ve noticed, but is it ok to avoid certain people, situations, interactions if it causes me to become so externalised 🤨? I don’t want to be ascetic but then I also don’t feel like frankly that I’m at the point where I can just do whatever and not lose that inner peace and joy from Mother. I still feel like it’s in the beginning fragile stage [Conti]

Alok da, if the Bharat will be united and come to its earlier form, then I think, the population may show an another picture, where perhaps, the population of muslims will be greater than Sanatanis. And if they as always try to dominate the Sanatanis using their capacity of terrorism, then, will it be possible for Bharat to become the Spiritual Heart of the Earth ? Or it will be now a long process

I had a dream of which I can’t fully understand the message. I dreamt I’m in my room which is well lit but due to some work going on there are some boxes piled up on my bed. The floors are bare and the room is bare. I think that I will have to sleep in my mother’s room in that case. I enter my mother’s room and see that it is semi dark. I can see the bed but it’s not a well lit room. I tell my mother I have to sleep in her room. Somehow a light catches my eye and falls on something above the bed. I can’t tell at first what it is but with more light it illuminates an alligator in silhouette above the bed. So the alligator is dark and I can’t see any details and it seems to be waiting for me. At this point I wake up🤨
The new well lit room are portions of your being touched by the higher Light. It is however yet to be organised for you to

That lady keeps the warning and stays there while I move ahead
Very interesting dream. The stream of white light and the ‘you’ which is a ray is your soul entering through a subconscient passage drawn by
