Life

Never react with your lower being,ย Don’t ever take lightly all the circumstances of each day, tiny little things of life. Enter within yourself; try to find the best in yourself with this you must reactโ€ฆ – Dada, how to do thisโ€ฆ like in the body, it is so conditioned since all these years? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชท[…]

I’m telling the truth when I say I just know for a fact that, despite my limits and flaws, I know I want The Divine enough to do whatever I need to do. When I was sharing that I have doubts, I was observing the hesitation in parts of me in order to acknowledge and overcome it instead of hiding it; I was not choosing or identifying with those doubts. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒธโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ[…]

I have a question: is it bad if one of my goals is to earn money? I want to do so because I don’t have to rely on anybody else, and I can do things I would want to do and do my Bhakti and Yoga, and no one could stop me just because I don’t have enough money to take care of myself and my family.

Itโ€™s been five years since our marriage, and Iโ€™m beginning to realise that there is a strong need in me to follow my own truth and become more of an individual in my own right.

Itโ€™s mentioned in Hindu scriptures that we are reborn again, as the Soul has its own journey and this body is just a carrier for this life. I just wanted to understand how many births does this soul takes. Is there anything written about this in the Gita or any Vedic writings? โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชท[…]

I think there are number of talks on this subject on Auromaa. Rebirth is neither a mechanical journey where we get back to the same

Alok da, I need your guidance in my personal life because I can’t understand what to do. I am 36 years old. I have 1 girl child 9 year old. I left my job (Asst. Prof in Civil Eng.) after marriage.
