Thinking about the three purusha concept of the Gita, I was wondering if the kshara purusha can be called psychic being, since kshara purusha is a being in evolution, a being who has descended into the mutable existence. Is that correct🤔?

Kshara Purusha is everywhere in the mutable creation but the psychic being is unique to earth. The psychic being is the jiva refered to in the Gita in the verse Paraprakriti Jivabhoota. It is a portion of the Divine Mother.

Also, how does the triple status of individual, cosmic and transcendent divine correlate to the three purushas of the Gita? Can we say kshara purusha is the individual divine, akshara purusha is the cosmic divine, and uttama purusha is the transcendent divine? I wasn’t sure of this.

Yes we can say that.

On some reflection, I realised that kshara purusha is a “universal” being while psychic is an “individual” being. So I might be wrong in equating them. It would certainly help knowing kshara purusha and how one could make sense of it according to both Integral Yoga as well as Gita.

Kshara Purusha is the immanent Divine, the Divine Presence we feel in nature, behind its manifold phenomenon. It is due to this that one feels joy in material nature.

What helps handling these strong sexual impulses is to stay as busy as one can be, especially with a work that can be done in the Mother’s service. The other thing is to do…

Alok da, why would an eye/cornea from healthy individual be not be good to donate to a blind disabled individual. This can give a new life to the blind person🤨

Under normal, ordinary circumstances it hardly matters as human beings the mass don’t differ much in terms of their consciousness. But as a human being develops in the scale of evolution the donation of an organ means, ….

Sometimes in life your little mind cannot understand the working of The Divine mother with certain things that happen, how can we develop this patience and wideness, yes faith is there in her 100% but how to understand her working🤔?

Sri Aurobindo says in the Mother. ‘The One whom we adore as the Mother is the divine Conscious Force that dominates all existence, one and yet so many-sided that to follow her movement is impossible even for the quickest mind and for the….
