Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » Pranam Alok Da. Mentally, I find Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to be complete in all aspects. Still, during meditation, I find it easier to meditate on Sri Ramakrishna than Sri Aurobindo or the Mother. Maybe I find Sri Ramakrishna more approachable when reading the gospel, and I see Sri Aurobindo as God, too tall, as described in Savitri, where some people find Savitri too high! Does it affect my yoga, or is it okay to continue like this? 😊🙏🏻🪷

Yoga doesn’t move along one fixed line valid for all. The inherent complexity of nature and the vastness of the Divine Consciousness cannot be straitjacketed along a narrow and fixed process. A great degree of freedom and plasticity is needed in the spiritual evolution, of which the most important first step is spiritual conversion and discovery of the psychic being. Whatever helps that process is fine. I am sure that with the growth of aspiration, Sri Ramakrishna himself will take you to Sri Aurobindo.

Affectionately,

I sometimes feel deep guilt or sadness about my past relationships. A few men in my life chose not to marry after our relationships ended and have said that they would only have married me. I am now happily married to someone else, but I sometimes wonder whether my presence in their lives prevented them from moving on, finding love, or living life fully. I am no longer in contact with them, but I hear these things through mutual friends.

The decision to get married or live with someone is a serious one, especially marraige. It cannot be taken based on promises made during a state of emotion. The whole idea of …

Alok Da, I have been having clear dreams for the last few days. My wife, who is pregnant, was feeding milk to the lion’s babies. I brought the milk from somewhere. And when I asked her to come closer, my wife refused and said not to come inside, the lion can attack. Sometimes in dreams, my breathing stops, but I feel alive. And in my entire life, I never gone through this kind of clear dream. 🤱🏼👼🏼🦁

The child in your wife’s womb seems to be a special soul. Is she on some path or has an Ista devata? The sense of stopping of breathing in dreams is not uncommon and there is nothing to worry

I’m under a lot of pressure to get married. I feel very, very, very lost. My parents have passed on a few contacts, and I have been talking to those guys. There is nothing wrong with these guys – in fact, they’re quite kind, mature, understanding and qualified, and one of them has a good depth of thought process and they are very interested in me. 🧑🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻🌹😫[…]

I think you are mixing several things, especially two very different things. The first and most important is what you should do with your life. In other words, what is your aim, the purpose of your life. There is a place for everyone, a place that we alone can occupy but to find that place we must find the purpose. In a general sense, the purpose of life is to grow and progress, to pursue excellence and…
