To Do

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

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?

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

I just listened your response to the question about ‘Positive Thinking, Negative Thinking and Thinking Divinely’. The examples you gave and what you said about wanting only the Divine Will to prevail, no matter what happens to oneself, I feel that’s what Love means, that’s the Ideal in my Heart, not what I’m doing now. How does one make that choice at each moment or at least at every turn?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ก

It is best not to think too much about oneself in a self-critical judgmental tone. Quietly one should keep progressing upon the path offering our

I turned 28 this February. I began reading Satprem and then skimmed over the basics of Sri Aurobindo’s Ideas as a supplement. From November to January, I had intense experiences at the Psychic Centre behind the Heart, which used to be perceptible throughout the day. Suddenly, it went away. Now it aches when I try to focus there. Feels like something has been pressing down on it. What to do, Alok Da?๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿค”โ“

It is an indication that some more preparation and purification is required to enter the doors. It is also important to do physical exercises regularly
