Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? 🌌⚔️✨🙏[…]

The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings.

Creation began with the first four emanations (Sat-Chit-Tapas-Ananda). These are the four original aspects of the Divine. Each being an aspect of the Divine acted in complete freedom sharing the absoluteness of the Divine. But this very sense of absolute freedom led to their being ‘apparently separated’ from the Divine Origin. There could never be any real separation. But each perceived the sense of absolute power as if independent of the Origin…

After terrible situations and traumas continuously, I have now turned completely against the divine and everything that stands for him. I hate everything about him, He is non-existent to me. He is nothing but an absentee landlord. 🌑🕯️🙏[…]

I can understand your anger towards the Divine because you have faced certain difficulties and challenging situations and circumstances. I am not sure if the mere act of turning against the Divine will help. If there is, as you believe an omnipotent Manichean God who inflicts sufferings then isn’t it better to simply try to sort out things with your own inner understanding and strength rather than open another front against the Divine. And if, …

I am 41, unmarried, and dealing with schizophrenia, but I struggle deeply with an ongoing habit of watching lesbian pornography for brief moments once or twice a week. Fully aware that this lower impulse contradicts the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I fear falling into an asuric nature like Virochana or Shankhachuda. 🕊️💪🌸🙏[…]

I understand your difficulty which grips many persons. It takes time but with a persistent will and faith, especially opening yourself to the Mother’s Grace seeking Her help in conquering it, you will surely be able to get rid of it one day. Meanwhile keep your focus mainly on the positive side of the Sadhana such as cultivating Peace and …
