My most practical outlook on the meaning and purpose of human life is to help humanity in any which way I could and find a path to salvation. By salvation, I mean freedom from the perpetual cycle of birth and death and permanent freedom from pain, suffering and misery. With this outlook in mind, while I was looking for answers on how did life come into being, what is my purpose in this, what is karma, the reason behind suffering, how to stop the cycle of birth and death and s

Many people, over the years, have told me that reading Sri Aurobindo’s writings is difficult due to the complexity and wideness of the concepts he presents. I have heard, or experienced, similar issues reading Kant, Leibnitz, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Joyce and others.

The Infinite Energies within us are Obstructed by AngerrnEnergy abounds like the Niagara Falls in every human being. There is unlimited energy that flows within. But when one gets irritated or angry, the torrent of infinite energy stops. As long as one does not become angry, the torrent of energy continues. Anger exists where there is a violent intent and a link of grudge. Anger is always associated with a violent intent and with an ongoing link of grudge. Anger is an open we

Many people, including those who are treading a spiritual path, feel depressed and hopeless when they see all the negativity, violence, and destruction taking place in the world around us. The mass media focuses on, and emphasizes, all this negativity, with the saying ‘if it bleeds, it leads’. They know they can capture the attention of more people for violent, dramatic events than with positive and harmonious issues.

The Upanishads describe 4 states of consciousness, the waking, the dream, the sleep and the state beyond these 3. Sri Aurobindo points out that these are meant to symbolically represent the state of awareness in the outer world (waking), the state of awareness in the subliminal world (dream), the state of awareness in the superconscient world (sleep) and the 4th state, is the one transcendent Reality.

We are usually so busy focusing on the day to day lives we are living that we rarely take the time to reflect on the larger significance of the universal manifestation and what role we, as individuals play in this development. The concept of maya, the cosmic illusion, is based on our entanglement in this day to day activity without recognising the larger reality. We become attached, we are passionate about the small things that occupy us, and fail to see the ‘big picture’ of the universe.

Knowing How to Conduct Ourselves at the Time of Success Determines Our Spiritual WellnessrnSpiritual wellness signifies a state of being in good spiritual health that is maintained as an actively pursued goal. And the barometer of this wellness is equanimity! Equanimity means no attachment and no abhorrence in any given situation. So, be it a situation of our success or failure, as long as we are able to remain equanimous, nothing can affect our spiritual wellness. A Tree Lad

With the grace of Pujya Niruma, I attained Self-Realization a few years ago. She gave me the knowledge of the Self, “I am a Pure Soul. And I am totally separate from this body.” She made me understand, “After death, your body gets cremated and your name too becomes a history. But you remain. So who are you?” This question baffled me, “Oh! I do not know my own Self.” She left me with this question saying, “You come on such and such day; you will get the answer.â€

Most of us never get down and look at anything around our feet. We’re always looking at eye level or higher. But when we get down on our hands and knees great things happen and we understand the ONENESS OF EVERYTHING. Also, being a photographer for many years as a hobby and making a living at being a professional photographer when I first got out of High School, I trained myself to look at the small things. What About You? 1 - Do you ever stop and take a look at what you are about to step on?

One of the issues that every spiritual seeker eventually faces is what to do about the vital nature. The vital being is an essential element of life on earth. Normally however it is distracted with its needs and desires, the seeking for pleasure and enjoyment, the avoidance of pain and suffering. The difficulty of dealing with the drives of the vital being have led many spiritual seekers to attempt to suppress it, or overpower it through an action of the mental will.

For most people, purity is connected with a moral precept, and for most, this has eventually been related to the question of sexual relations. The question of chastity, and withholding of sexual activity until the socially sanctioned relationship of marriage has been put in place, holds a central place in most cultural ideas of ‘purity’. The requirement of chastity, outside of the context of membership in a religious order, has mostly been placed on women, and it has been a force of social domination of women by men, who are not bound to the same rule in normal society.

If we observe how we tend to respond to provocations from outside, things, events or people who impact our lives, either mentally, emotionally, vitally or physically, we see that the first tendency is to internalize the provocation with a pattern of vibration at one or another level of our being. We respond with thoughts, emotions, nervous reactions, or physical symptoms. As long as we live primarily in the exte al being, we participate in this constant action-reaction pattern and do not find any solution.

As we take up the next chapter in the Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo cites, in the headnotes, some revealing passages from the Rig Veda and the Upanishads to indicate the 7 types of Ignorance that needs to be overcome, and to point out the 7 forms of Knowledge required to achieve realisation. Before we begin the actual review of the chapter, therefore, it is useful to look at what the seers and sages of the Vedic scriptures had to say on this subject.

Layers of Spiritual DevelopmentrnSpiritual development of every human being is at a different level. This results in different standards coming into being; and for each standard there is a God and its relevant scriptures. These standards are that of the worldly relative religions. And everyone finds an appropriate standard, depending upon his or her spiritual development. However for the real religion, religion of the Self (the Pure Soul), one will have to go ‘out of standa

If we observe what happens to our inner psychology when we experience physical pain, we will see that we mostly tighten ourselves up, tensing the body, focusing intently on the experience of the bodily pain. By doing so, we actually intensify the pain experience through this focus and it takes over our consciousness.

Destiny Changes Based On Our MeditationrnThe Lord says that our current actions are a result of our past life’s karma, and hence they are bound to happen as is; we don’t have much control over it. But what is important is our meditation at that time i.e. the type of contemplation we are engaged in. For example, one may be seated in meditation, but rather than focusing on meditation, his entire focus is on the hourglass as to how many more minutes to go to complete his med

All human beings, regardless of whether they are born in the West, the East, or elsewhere, find the challenges of taking up yoga to be daunting and requiring of them unstinting efforts to understand the obstacles, and identify and implement ways to overcome them. With its long history of support for spiritual practices, India has clearly at least some advantage in terms of preparing the ground for systematic spiritual effort.

When will a Great Avatar, Saint, or Guru arrive to help? Take for instance if there is a small disturbance in a tiny town the local constable takes care of the problem— thus it’s put to an end.

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato described the method of teaching utilized by Socrates, known today as the “Socratic method”. Socrates understood that education was not the process of stuffing knowledge into an individual, but rather, as the root of the word ‘education’ implies, a drawing out of the knowledge already held within. He propounded a series of questions intended to provoke the person to express that knowledge and formalize it thereby in their exte al being.

In life, you see a lot of people who are successful because of money, fame, career, and family but still they say that they are not happy. Even if all the checkboxes are marked, why does one feel unhappy or lost in life? One often defines success or happiness with the amount of money in our banks. But that success is not coherent with our happiness; more money is not proportional to more happiness in life. Till a certain point, you will enjoy the materialistic luxuries of lif

There is a strong human potential movement that counsels ‘mindfulness’ by living in the present, and not worrying about or identifying with the past, and not imaging or creating images about the future in one’s mind. This movement has an underlying truth associated with it, as dwelling on either the past or the future, without focus on the present, can indeed be both unhealthy and unproductive.

When we delve into the yoga of works, the Bhagavad Gita immediately comes to mind as a primary text. The Gita explores the questions of what constitutes a yogic attitude in action and compares it to the normal standpoint about work. The major difference lies in the inner standpoint and attitude taken by the person undertaking the action. Many people try to judge things by the type of work undertaken. Charity, philanthropy, altruistic work appear to be ‘yogic’ in their minds. Feed the hungry, care for the sick, these are examples of things that ordinarily fall under the rubric ‘karma yoga’.

It is easy to see the failings of others, while overlooking the issues within oneself. Jesus in his famous Sermon on the Mount, recounted in the New Testament of the Bible, exhorted his followers to not judge others but to look within, and noted ‘And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?’

If we are to succeed in life it’s important that we have four very important aspects in place. And these four aspects ensure that we will leave a indelible mark on the planet and change the lives of millions of people. These four aspects are taken for granted by most people, but if a person lacks just one of these aspects… life can become more difficult. Thus it’s important to have all four aspects in place throughout every part our life, from the time we are born to the day we leave the planet.

The seeds of karma which were sown in the past life, give their effects in this current life; and at that time, depending on one’s inner intent, good or bad, new seeds of karma are sown in this life, which shall give its effects in the future life. Whatever actions we do or words we speak today, they are all a result of our past life’s karma. And while past karma works for our present life, our inner intent at the time when the past karma is unfolding creates our future l

As we have noted, there are some who believe that intuition is simply a very fast reasoning process that moves directly to a determination. This is clearly not intuition as the Mother explains below. It is a separate mental process that still follows the laws of the mental plane in its operations. In order to distinguish true intuition from this mental function, the Mother provides insight into how intuition actually operates, and what the status of the individual and his receptivity needs to be to properly receive, assimilate and utilize the power of intuition.

The vital nature is so deeply intertwined with the mental nature in the current state of human development, and has such a force of desire that it tries to satisfy, that, for most individuals, it is very hard to take an objective view about the thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions, emotions or even the perceptions that arise. Add to this the vital’s power to convince the mind to support and justify its desires, and we find that the mental capacity is, for the most part, at the service of the vital nature of what Sri Aurobindo calls the “desire soul”.
