Guidance

My pranam at Thy Lotus Feet of the Divine Mother.ย  ย  My pranam to you also.ย Dada, in reading through the original texts of Sri Aurobindo, like Life Divine, Synthesis of Yoga, Savitri and others, there are different subjects and thought processes like subconscious, subliminal, planes, etc.ย But how to get access to or connect to the exact explanations by the Mother in her writings?ย Please guide me.ย ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ“šย  ย

I don’t know how, but in my mind, I am stuck on the fact that the growth of the Soul will invite newer challenges, and I really don’t have the strength to go through any challenges at the moment. Is seeking happiness the same as wanting the pain to stop? I’m not sure that I can tell the difference. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿฅ€โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿƒ

Challenges are bound to come in life. It is part of the evolutionary programming. The soul helps us to navigate through these challenges with much

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿซ 

This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing

A few days earlier, I was in a state of consciousness where I used to feel something inside. I was feeling something different, which was around Krishna Janmasthmi and Sri Aurobindo’s Birthday. It was joyful. I think it was Higher Consciousness. If yes, how to be in that situation consistently? What should I do about that? Sir, after meeting different people, how to be in that Consciousness, as it’s very difficult?๐ŸŒ…โœจโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

It was, in all likelihood, the doors of the psychic being that opened sensing the special atmosphere.

I am willing to do everything and sacrifice everything that is needed to see Bhagwan or Devi Maa at least once in my life. I have been on this path searching for the last 6 years and I can’t pull myself back and go into this world of depression, loneliness and transaction. Which Sadhana should be done? Please tell me and I’ll follow it religiously and won’t disappoint you. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŒช๏ธโณ๐Ÿšช

Be so absorbed in the thought and aspiration for God, Devi Maa that you forget all about yourself including the depressions and tensions.

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure. I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?๐Ÿง’๐Ÿ“šโœจ๐ŸŒฑ

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. ๐Ÿชทโœจ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural.

Probably 4-5 years ago, I had read a book named ‘Immortal Talks’ by an author named Shunya. Last time I checked, the author hadn’t revealed their identity. So the book is about Hanuman and how He imparts the ultimate knowledge to this particular tribe of people every 40 years and the story revolves around it. You can call its genre fiction. As I read that, I felt such a deep connection with Hanuman. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿน๐Ÿ›•๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒป[…]

It is not a dream but a real contact with the ever living legendary Hanuman who continues to help the simple hearted devotees upon earth

Dada, how to stop thinking? I mean, continuous thoughts are coming and going regarding useless things. Sri Aurobindo has said we have to watch thoughts and not attach any importance to them, but how should we do that? Or how to calm our minds and think about our Master’s only?๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿง 

While stopping of thoughts completely is not an easy thing, it is very much possible to direct the flow consciously towards an object. Thus, you
