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.
Would the Divine Will make me do something I don’t want to do? My life seems heading towards it. Its about physical relationship with someone I don’t feel connected to. This has been troubling me for quite some time now 😓.
Ordinarily the Divine Will acts from behind through the veil of ego and desires, not directly. To believe that all that happens in the world
Alok da, studying sankhya makes me feel like it had all the potential to develop into a school of scientific research into nature 🤔 like the Aristotleian school did in the west (Sri Aurobindo says all scientific claims starts with sankhya like analysis) but sankhya ultimately got confined to remain in the realm of psycho spiritual practice and liberation, while on the other hand Organised church and it’s educational networks across Europe helped Aristotle’s philosophy to develop into systematic scientific research while in India sankhya again confined to few guru shishya relationship,did we miss a chance here? Sri Aurobindo in the beggining of his play Perseus the deliverer also hints at how the greek thought will develop into science and taming nature and giving him reign over it,is it cos of our veneration of prakriti too as a goddess that inhibited us to look at it dispassionately like the europeans with later Christianity started to look at nature as god given reign for men to exploit and kind of desacralised it,it might be an error but still the error might have worked in their favour in developing science while Indians wanted to annul nature altogether and merge into brahman/Nirvana
Sankhya was more interested in solving the hard problem of consciousness with which scientists are grappling now. The Sankhya philosophers nearly solved it by bringing
I find this concept a little speculative can you lease let me know your views on the following:I have been told that many gods 😇 and goddesses in Hinduism are simply the names of various forms of nurturing energies in the cosmos like : Brahma – creates forms, Vishnu/ Lakshmi – maintains & nourishes the form (Prosperity),Shiva / Kali – strength for survival. Ganesh – energy that remove obstacles, Savitri – Inspire intellect to act wisely….
…..Shakti in Tantra / Parvati in Puranas / Divine Mother – the sum total of all the energy in the universeThrough various modes of worship
Who am I😊?
Physically you are a lovely boy, the son of two beautiful people. Psychologically, you are a child with lot of potential who is being shaped
Kindly explain the sentence on Prayers, in the book📖 – The Synthesis of Yoga. “Its forms are very often crude and not only childlike, which is in itself no defect, but childish; but still it has a real power and significance.”
Chillike form implies the words, the sentences, and outer structure given to the prayer. Childish refers to the actual content of the prayer, for example
The other day I was discussing with someone about Radical Islam and he pointed out that they purposely increase their population and taking over the world and we too should be doing this. Well I argued that even if they do that soon they will be destroyed by their own population as soon they will realise no point producing rats as I believe 1 lion🦁 is enough to set all this straight But then he argued that look they are increasing the population taking over places, taking over governments by voting the wrong person, so then I did not know what to say? Please throw light on this subject.
If we look at nature, the apex creatures strangely do not multiply so much as the lower creatures. To those down below, Nature gives numbers.
My husband comes from a very orthodox family, and to be honest, he often humiliates me for not pronouncing Sanskrit shlokas correctly. He teases me, saying that I am not from a Brahmin family. I’m in an environment where respect seems to be granted only when I earn. Although I didn’t leave my job intentionally, I was laid off. How should I respond or pray in these circumstances😥? I’ve been communicating with the Mother about this regularly, but I haven’t seen any results.
You should know that those who are truly wise and developed are humble. Whereas those who are proud are merely vain. So you needn’t attach
I long to connect with The Mother🌹, whether through dreams or other means. What steps can I take to make this happen? I understand that unwavering faith is essential.
Faith, aspiration, reading Her books, taking Her Name, thinking of Her, hearing Her recorded voice, concentrating upon Her photographs, meditating upon Her image or …
How can I deepen my spiritual life, and why do my prayers seem to go unanswered😯? (example: I am praying regularly and upgrading my skills in preparation for a new job, yet I still struggle to succeed in interviews. Before each interview, I call on the Mother to be with me. While I believe something good will come my way, I’m left wondering when and how that will happen!!)
There are things that we are supposed to do. It is part of our evolutionary effort. There are things that the Divine has to do.
What do you think is the role or usefulness of Chat GPT 💻 in studying Sri Aurobindo’s works and those of other Masters?
This software looks like a wonderful utilisation of an emerging AI world and turned to serve a better purpose and it is very interesting and
How should one deal with comparison to peers and feelings of inadequacy or inferiority? Even if I logically know it is not the correct response and everyone is on their own journey, I panic every time I see someone reach a milestone and feel shame, sadness, and urgency about the things that haven’t worked out for me😓.
It is not enough to say that everyone has their own unique goal. True though it is, yet it remains at best an intellectual conception,
I had read The Mother’s answer to a question and recently in one video you too had mentioned it that physical difference in male and female will not be there in the new world. The LGBT community that we are either seeing more and more or noticing more in recent days, is that a precursor to it🙄?
The LGBT community rights and activism are more around the sexual and gender orientation. It is understood that in any civilised country all citizens should
What can be the way to tackle the confusion about choosing a career, if one got no preferences, no interests, one only wants to get lots of money to become independent and then do something great for the nation for its resurgence😩?
Take the profession that is closest to your heart, to your true nature, swabhava and swadharma. Do it with sincerity in the spirit of serving
Alok da, What’s the origin of qualities like Aura, charisma or swag as they call it when describing some of the historical figures/political leaders/film actors. Is it a result of higher vital/pranomay kosha? It doesn’t seem like it comes through effort/practice but rather inherited through the karmic results from past lives. They are definitely one of the major qualities to have a hold upon minds of the public☺
In most people this charisma is due to the vital constitution, especially an expansive vital. It is not necessarily a good thing from the higher
Is it true to feel that there is a honesty among pessimists and nihilsts rather than among the theists who try to justify the supposed ways of god with so much of mind games🤔?
Honesty in pessimists? I don’t see the logic. Honesty means looking at things as they really are, right. So the pessimist seeing only the dark
About LGBT, I meant to say, if as The Mother has said in the new world order, male and female bodies wont be different, I guess, still I am having difficulty explaining, but from what I understand, same body will have both male and female attributes? So my question was people born with LGBT attributes, are they first step toward that? Not people who make choices, but who are born that way🤔?
No, it will not be the same body having masculine and feminine traits but a sexless body. LGBT on the other hand is about rights
What is the significance of 24th November🦚🌞?
The word used to describe the 24th November 1926 is Siddhi Day. Though the word is used to describe the acquisition of powers, here it
I want to ask if it is considered a sin to have a relationship or friendship while staying in the ashram🙄?
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother have allowed a great degree of freedom in the Ashram. Transforming friendship and human relationship are part of the work
