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.ย
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.
Uncle, I wanted to ask one thing. I recently heard the mother’s organ music titled “Aspiration of the body for the divine”. I don’t know how one can aspire for the divine through the body. Is it by physical exercise like sports, the gym, or something more? Please shed some light on this.๐ถ๐๐ชท
The first step towards awakening aspiration in the physical is to practice equanimity. One should learn to be unattached and unaffected due to changes in
In your talk on Chapter 17 of Essays on the Gita, you described sattwic food as succulent, nourishing, and predominantly plant-based. However, to meet my fitness goals at the gym, I currently rely on high-protein sources like chicken, as vegetarian options either feel nutritionally incomplete or too calorie-dense. ๐ฅ๐๏ธ๐๐ป[…]
The classification of foods does not mean that everybody should eat only Sattwic food or vegetarian food. Man is not moved by Sattwic energies alone.
Is establishing inner peace and equanimity the same as developing the sakshi (silent witness), or should one simply turn one’s consciousness entirely towards the Mother? I often feel connected to Her, but when I am doing well, I tend to get swept away by the mere sensation of “feeling better” rather than remaining anchored in Her presence. How can I steady this inward focus and build a true foundation of peace? ๐๏ธ๐ชท๐๐ป
Sakshi is not peace though it helps tremendously in getting rid of all the disturbances that afflict our nature. It is usually a part of
How to help someone discover their good side and true self, resurface their goodness. ๐ฑโจ
By reminding them only of their good side or good possibility and ignoring as completely as possible their negative side. Basically we strengthen whatever we
While supporting a family through deep suffering, I find myself fluctuating between uplifting them and absorbing their heavy vibrations, leaving me emotionally drained. I aspire to remain an instrument of love and active help without losing the inner poise of the sakshi (detached witness) or getting entangled in vital emotions. ๐ค๐ชท๐๐ป[…]
I understand your dilemma which all those who carry within them the urge to help mankind in its suffering go through.
Witness, indifference and love
Jay maa. Alok da, I am hearing many times payal sound in my home at night time. What is the meaning of that? Please tell me. ๐๐ฆ๐๐ป
It is good, a sign of opening of the inner being to the higher consciousness, especially towards Sri Krishna.
What’s the true meaning of Secular?ย Secular education?ย Does it have anything to do with the faith of one’s religion? ๐๏ธ๐๐๐ป […]
The word secular was initially suggested in the draft preamble of the Indian Constitution in 1950 but was not eventually accepted in the final form.
Sometimes I feel that something higher and vast is trying to touch and enter not only my mind but also my physical brain. Yet I feel that the brain is not ready for it. It is still too narrow and rigid, not sufficiently supple or plastic. It feels as though the higher consciousness is waiting for the right moment. ๐ง โจ๐๐ป […]
It is quite possible what you say. The simplest way to prepare the brain is by reading Sri Aurobindo. Similarly the simplest way to prepare
Who do people get brainwashed, fooled, cheated, or influenced? Donโt they see the falsehood?ย What in them attracts such experiences in life? ๐งญ๐ฟ
We should not worry about people. What others do is their business. Each one must look into one’s own business and constantly work towards improving
I can start out like a kindergarten student to learn about things from the most basics without hesitating or worrying about judgment and other social fears, which is probably what I’m most afraid of for some reason.ย ๐ฑ๐๐ป
Just be simple. Be simple. Be simple. Have faith in the Divine Mother and do your work as well as you can.

I experienced two vivid dreams where I was repeatedly attacked and forced to fight for survival. After overpowering three assailants in the first dream, the second dream escalated into heavy gunfire, fractured versions of myself, and betrayal by a trusted companion.๐๐ก๏ธ[…]

After many years in a demanding corporate career, I have never felt truly aligned with this path, finding my genuine fulfillment instead in creative pursuits like filmmaking and photography. Alongside my job, I built a creative venture that is now gaining steady traction, though familial responsibilities keep me tied to my day job for now. ๐ฌ๐ชท[…]

What do we mean by โthere was a calling to โฆโ to visit a place or to be in Pondicherry, in the ashram? What is this calling? How does it feel when one experiences such a thing? And when people say โMata ne bolaya haiโ or โBolenath ne bolaya haiโ, how true is it? In essence, do gods really call people to visit them? ๐ชท๐๐ป
Call simply means an inner urge, an impulsion, the awakening of the will or a strong feeling to do something, say to visit a special
Shree Nirod Da has mentioned at several places that he had developed a kind of acquaintance, unknowingly, with โMan of Sorrowโ, from which the Grace of the Lord liberated him. I am curious to know about it.ย If you get time, would you mind explaining it to me? ๐๐ฏ๏ธ
“Man of Sorrow” is described in Savitri as well as Prayers and Meditations thus.

Alok da, I was contemplating on the idea that in life, humans mostly live to make others happy- at least I have lived mostly like that. It starts from parents to friends to partner to future kids maybe. But isnโt it true that if the Divine is happy with us, there is no need to worry about anyoneโs happiness? ๐ท๐๐ป[…]
It is only the Sattwic people who think of other’s happiness. Most live and think only or mainly about their happiness. However since almost whole
1. I have completed my LLB with flying colors. I have enrolled in my LLM. I want to pursue Phd and be a professor. I LOVE teaching. I have always wanted to be a teacher. Trust me, I will do GREAT there. I am here to seek your blessings for the same. ๐๐ชท๐๐ป […]

In the third chapter of The Mother, it is written: “Regard your life as given you only for the divine work and to help in the divine manifestation.” My question is: what is meant by ‘divine work’? We do household works mainly and rarely do we go out. Do I understand by this that whatever work we do should be considered as Mother’s work? ๐๐ชท๐๐ป […]
Divine Work is the work given by the Divine that we are originally meant to do. But it takes time to grow conscious of this
1) I heard something like this in your talks – ‘If we take a long route to the Divine, through all experiences and meanderings, the result is far more enriched and many-sided, than if one takes the shortest route.’ Does this mean one should take the longer path?
The path does not open without aspiration. Before aspiration there may be faith which prepares us for the path. Faith makes one a devotee which
