Head is the hub that conceives whereas heart is the hub that impels towards action.

But according to Maa’s teaching, should I go or not? What should I pass to my daughter, she is 8 years old? She is curious to know about all the gods. My husband is a Shiv bhakt. And after my 1st visit to Pondicherry after the 12th exam, due to some experience, I started loving the Mother as Guru, but had no knowledge. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿชท[…]

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. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒ[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชทโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Had Sri Aurobindo seen the future road map of the Supramental Force descending to Earth’s atmosphere, after the 1st meeting with The Mother? Or did it come on the way? If he had already seen that, then why didn’t he explain all these to the Mother? Then Mother would stay there permanently instead of returning & second coming events &โ€ฆ, as I have not read the 1st meeting of Sri Aurobindo with The Mother yet. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ๐ŸŒ
