Dada can you please explain in a few words the Four austerities and Four liberations and how do we practice it our daily life 😇??

I already have a daughter. When I conceived for the second time, some people advised me to take medicine from a different source to have a son, while others suggested doing a computer (sex selection). But I didn’t listen to them because everything I have received from childhood until now, I have received from the Mother. So I said that Mother will give what she wants to. But now that I have a daughter, people are asking why I didn’t do the computer or why I didn’t take medicine. I feel like I was wrong. I am unable to come out of this situation. I am not sure how to stabilize myself and move forward. Please give me some solutions😥.
We should listen to our own self and our own judgment instead of listening to people’s words. The Mother has never differentiated between a boy
I just have a little question about harmony as today is Lakshmi Puja. How does one maintain harmony in the family effectively? When there are fights, I try to stay calm as long as I can and negotiate. However when it becomes unbearable, I give up and get angry. Sometimes when I make mistakes, I quickly apologize and try to correct it in order to maintain peace but it never seems to work well. My family keeps talking about my faults again and again even after I apologize. I am trying from my side but when the other person won’t co-operate, I don’t know what to do. I honestly feel like a failure. I have prayed to the Mother but is there anything else I can do from my side😥?
Harmony is very difficult to achieve in human relationship because each of the ego operating system. Hence each believes himself to be right and his
Reading the Life Divine, I kind of have these visions of galaxies colliding, never heard of musical strings playing at infinite speed which somehow emit fire, feelings of levitation and Mental space widening etc..Did Sri Aurobindo infuse his words to have such an effect or is it my own hallucination cos it stirs something in me? Even reading bande mataram , I can feel like he’s the infusing his writing with some sort of tantrik electric currents which are gonna penetrate the reader’s subconscious depths and bring a resolve in him to fight for freedom. Did Sri Aurobindo had a conscious intention to do this with His writing or is it my own imagination🤨?
It is not about conscious intention alone. Our consciousness flows in our acts and our writings inevitably carry outside to the world, something of the

Dear Alok da why do I get up in the middle of the night? I cannot sleep 😴continuously?

I have observed very often that people who have already experienced certain mishaps and suffering tend to forget when someone else goes through the same pain. Instead of relating to others and condoling them, they start giving advice. While one sees others in pain😫, why does one forget his own sufferings?
Generally this does not happen. Those who go through suffering usually develop an empathy. They do give advices based on what they have learnt though
I see my mumma reading Sri Aurobindo’s books I wonder when Sri Aurobindo wrote them who typed⌨️ them out?
Most of the books were typed by Sri Aurobindo himself directly on the typewriter. Later his written letters and corrections were mainly seen and typed
Why is it that people who were once so deeply connected can become complete strangers almost overnight, as if all the shared moments meant nothing? How can they move on so quickly and find someone new, while blaming you for the breakup, claiming that your actions or words pushed them away? They justify their cold behaviour by saying that making you suffer will somehow make you stronger. But how can they not see the emotional chaos they leave behind—the emptiness, the loneliness, the struggle with rejection and abandonment? Is it fair to rationalize their actions as a way of helping you grow, while completely ignoring the hurt they’ve caused? [Conti]
It is because the relationship was largely in the vital physical domains, or on the surface emotions where things don’t stay for long. It means
Why are we humans so eager for others to realize their mistakes within a short time? Why are we so focused on others instead of understanding that it’s human nature to take time and that we should learn to be patient🤨?
In complete agreement with your observation. As to the reason, it is partly due to the relatively short life span that we lead compared to
Alok da, Mother says “if there is a fault in someone looking within yourself”, If someone cheated us or is angry what should we look within ourselves? How does it help🤔?

What is the difference in traditional yoga method and Sri Aurobindo’s yoga method? Is there any difference in traditional yoga and Sri Aurobindo😇 yoga self realization? I read that when other yoga end then Sri Aurobindo yoga start? Can you clarify it?

Why did Krishna not tell the Pandavas to fight the war immediately when they lost the game of dice? Why did he let them suffer even more by letting them go for 13 long years to exile😏?
One of the purposes of Sri Krishna’s Advent was to establish a reign of Dharma. For this the Pandavas were his chosen instruments. But the
