AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Sometimes without any reason I feel sad, depressed, no will to talk to anyone, a strong urge of leaving everything and Live in a Himalayan village (though don’t have dare to leave own comfort zone) etc. Whats the reason???

The state you describe is a kind of vairagya that sometimes takes the form of sadness. As you have experienced these feelings are like waves that pass away. They do not endure though, like  all waves of nature, it has a tendency to return again. At its root is some kind of discontent with the life one is leading, perhaps some kind of compromise between the need of the soul (of which one may or may not be aware outwardly) and the actual life one is leading.

Especially this need to go to some Himalayan village reflects an inner need of solitude which itself is a sign of readiness for the spiritual life. What is needed is to heed this call and learn to live within in an inner solitude. Take out moments to be alone with yourself and seek the purpose of your life, the things you really want to do but could not, the goal or aim for which you would live.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

You said that destruction was completely avoidable if those involved in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata responded to the Divine Will but it is also said that Divinity of an Avatar will be fully manifested when there is great darkness or adversity at the other side. Without Ravana how the Divinity of Rama would have been fully manifested and also without Kansa or Duryodhana how the Divinity of Krishna would have been fully manifested? There is also the story of Jai – Vijay so is it the leela of the Divine for his complete manifestation or the distortion in creation🤔?

Yes this is the other complimentary truth that the greater the darkness, individually as well as collectively, the greater the possibility of Light. India is a classic example of a civilisation plunged into darkness for …

Dada now I experience that when I open to the mother and Sri Aurobindo I feel the difficulties in lower part but when spontaneously my thought turns to Sri Krishna all the obstacles of lower nature vanishes and I feel peace. Why this is happening? Due to this unknowing difficulties I am not able to turn The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. When I think about Sri Aurobindo I feel causeless doubt, depression, no aspiration and bhakti towards mother and Sri Aurobindo. What should I do😥?

It is definitely the play of the mind making you feel like this. The only truth, if at all, could be that turning towards Sri Aurobindo and the Mother through some ego in the seeking puts a tremendous …
