How to?

It is said that if your will is not at work, then its Divine’s will is at work. So how can we know what the Divine’s will is? What changes should we make within to align with the Divine’s will? How to deal with chaotic situations and people? What is the difference between the Divine’s will and others’ will? πŸ™„πŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·πŸŒ„

The Mother asked not to see each and everything as Divine’s act; it can lead us into the devil’s trap. And obviously, right now it’s not Divine’s reign in this Creation; there are multiple forces, stages, and many other complications, and the direct Divine world will manifest in the future. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·πŸŒ„[…]

I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting.

Sir, in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, you practice Integral Yoga. What is Integral Yoga? Where to learn about it and how to practice as a complete beginner? In the Ashram, deities are not being worshipped like Bhagwan Shiv, Maa Durga and Rituals are not performed. So what are your opinions on Rituals and Festivals like Mahashivratri or Navratri? 🏑πŸͺ·πŸŒ³πŸ™πŸŒΈ[…]

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?πŸ§’πŸ“šβœ¨πŸŒ±

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
