How can I make sure that my ego surrender is to the Divine only and not to other people😖? I feel a lot of courage is needed for this that I am unable to muster many times.

‘A silent spiritual revolution’-An article written by Alok Da 🙏
The theme of your book is very interesting and contemporary. We are living in times when human thought is reevaluating the past and assessing its
How does one let go of things from the past😫? Things that didn’t work out the way we would have “hoped”, people we didn’t get to know well that maybe we wanted to, or regrets about actions that we would have taken differently today?And how does one stop daydreams or indulging in fantasies that do not have any basis? I’m stuck on an idea of someone from the past and cannot get them out of my head. I offer my feelings up to the Mother and just let it be… is that the right approach?
First thing that we need to understand is that the ‘mistakes’ that happened and yet may happen are not because there is something bad in
How can one discover their psychic being🌟? Is it necessary to come to the Ashram for this? How can one be sure they have found it? What are the signs to know it?

Alok da, we are learning about Ghandhi ji in school which is very boring and I can’t wait when that boring 😜 book gets over but I have a question he use to not drink cow’s milk because cow would get hurt, then why was he drinking goat’s milk? I don’t understand when he does not understand this how is he the father of the nation?
Your question is very logical but unfortunately Gandhi ji, for whatever other good qualities he may have had was not a logical man. Or rather
Sir, I think you missed to explain 🙄last part of the sentence (but still it has a real power and significance) yesterday.
Yes, even a crudely formulated childish prayer has in it a real power. This power of the prayer lies in the bhaava, the inner state
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?
