It certainly is of great benefit to be a selfless person. There is nothing more worthy than having a goal to serve and live out our human life for the sole purpose of the welfare of others. When one puts the needs of others above their own, one experiences tremendous happiness from within and the sheer intent of selflessness brings one immense inner peace. Definition of SelflessrnWe all may have some idea of what selflessness means. To elaborate on it, selflessness means to h

Yes, love is one of the best experiences that human beings can have. rnBut what type of love? rnNot the love which is centred on give or take, is full of expectations and where anger, pride, deceit, greed, likes and dislikes arise. Love that changes with people or situations is not real love. Love is something which cannot be put into words, it comes straight from the heart and can only be experienced. What most people consider love is merely infatuation and attraction, as it
We are used to the idea that if we practice something, if we undertake a course of study, we will gradually increase our ability and our level of understanding, so that eventually we move, in the academic field, for example, from primary school to high school, to college, potentially to graduate school, and at each stage, we become more accomplished in our chosen field of endeavour. The shift of consciousness does not appear to work under that mode of development however.
The “master race”, the “white man’s burden”, “white supremacy”, “manifest destiny”, the “superman” of Nietzsche all represent past attempts of the mind to translate the urge to transcend the limits of the human mind-life-body and assert power and control over the society through what may be termed a “brute force” method. “Might makes right” has been the watchword. “Survival of the fittest” has been interpreted as justifying this brute forth method, as if brute force represents the “fittest”.
Sri Krishna taught Arjuna the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita on a battlefield. The setting is an important aspect of the teaching itself. The inner growth is not dependent on outer events or circumstances. Conditions will always be ‘imperfect’ if not absolutely terrible!

Yes, you may not continue to do routine symbolic practices if they are not beneficial to you. However, being on the path of spirituality, you should not have any abhorrence towards these practices. Eg. If some other person is doing these practices, you should not have any negativity towards the person nor towards the practices; keep equanimity at that time. After all, we are bound in this world due to our attachments and abhorrence. Therefore, in any situation in life, we sho
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, âInsistence is a photo of the ego!â rnThe ego of any person can be understood from his insistence. And liberation can never be attained through insistence of opinion; it is only when one becomes free from all prejudices, partialities and non-insistence that one becomes successful. Thus, by not letting your ego win, you are taking the right step in the direction of being successful, in the direction of being liberated from ego. Insistence End

Sri Ramana Maharshi, to point the seeker towards the truth of his existence, asked ‘who am I?’ With persistent inquiry, the individual soon finds that this exte al personality, ego-self that we normally treat as who we are, is in reality a front, a shell, an illusion, and that the truth of our existence lies deep within, held as knowledge within the soul, and only released into the forefront of our consciousness when the being is ready. The readiness may be prepared over many lifetimes, and at the right moment, the realisation occurs as if by a miracle.

Yes, the reason why some people suffer from perpetual ill-luck is because it is the effect of their past lifeâs karma. And those whose past karmas were good will be born with a silver spoon and enjoy a good life in this birth. It is our karma that takes us to the place where our rebirth is to take place. Everyone Reaps the Fruits of Karma Depending Upon Their Own DeedsrnEverything we encounter is our own design. Itâs we who are responsible for it. Each person is responsib
No. It is not transferrable. You have to suffer the fruits of karmas yourself, be it the good ones or the bad ones. You cannot give it to others nor can anybody take this away from you! If you want to take away your motherâs bad karma and add it to your karma, that will not happen. If your mother is suffering from cancer, there is no way you can take away her miseries or transfer her cancer onto yourself. She has to suffer her miseries herself. If fruit of her karma is bad,
A quest for freedom from the bondages of suffering that has chained us for uncountable lifetimes is fundamental to all living beings. Nirvana means permanent freedom or liberation from all the bondages that bind us. IS EXTERNAL SUBSTANCE NEEDED? Letâs understand this with an example!rnSuppose you are bound from head to toe with a tight rope. And there are various tools and instruments available to you, placed right before you so that you can easily free yourself. What do yo
The body consciousness responds to suggestions whether they come through the mind, the vital or directly act upon the physical level, whether consciously noted or not. This has the potential to cause illness in the body if it happens to be a negative suggestion, or to cure illness if it is a positive suggestion.
Majority of us cannot recall our past births. Given this fact, it could lead one to think that why at all should one bother for moksha then? And given such a situation, is moksha excessively overrated? rnThe answer is a resounding NO! Moksha means complete and permanent freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Moksha means ultimate liberation! Moksha implies experiencing total and eternal bliss. Where there is moksha, there does not exist an iota of suffering; whereas in
Whenever an individual has any kind of powerful emotion or experience, he tends to “lose himself” in that experience. He becomes angry, or lustful, or ecstatic, or joyful and the feeling takes over his entire being and for a time, he “is” that force. The same thing can, and does, tend to happen with spiritual experiences, particularly those that are intense and which demand attention when they occur. The experience fills the body-life-mind of the exte al being.
Spiritual practiceâ means the practice done through Soul, as opposed to that done through some physical or material things. Your question then is: With the help of Soul, how do we develop courage to handle life adversities?rnFirst and foremost, the Soul needs to be realized. rnOnly when we attain Self-Realization i.e. when we realize our Soul, can we take the help of Soul. Until then, since we do not have the knowledge of Soul, we cannot take the benefit of Soul either. Akr

Almost everyone has the experience, from time to time, of acting out a different personality. We may say that someone “got out of bed on the wrong side this morning” when we see a normally cheerful and upbeat individual responding in a totally uncharacteristic way. We chalk this up to some mood or temporary circumstance, stress, sleeplessness, worry or some physical condition or imbalance, or even some mental focus that distracts.
Karma, as defined by Hindu and Buddhist texts, âis a force produced by oneâs actions in this life that influences oneâs future lives.â Good deeds performed in this life yield their results in the form of good rewards and bad deeds yield in bad results in oneâs next life. This is the most common notion among people and hence they feel that by doing charity, helping the needy, etc. they have done the work of depositing good karmas in their account. But, how is Nirvana
Knowing How to Conduct Ourselves at the Time of Success Determines Our Spiritual Wellness.rnSpiritual 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 La

Just as forces and vibrations act upon us that vibrate below our normal human level of perceptive range, and bring in much of the past, subconscient, dark and ignorant reactions that drive much of our human life, so also there are forces and vibrations that enter us from above our perceptible range, which have their source and origin in what we may call the ‘superconscient’ levels.
If we view the vast array of methods recommended by spiritual paths of the world, we find that many of them utilize various forms of mental focus or concentration in order to achieve specific results along the way. Tibetan yoga, for instance, has intensive visualisation techniques along with concentrations of various sorts and meditation. Many paths recommend use of various prayers or mantras formulated in the mind to guide the awareness in the proper direction. A large number of paths recommend reading and contemplation on the truths set forth in their respective scriptural texts.
If we reflect carefully, we will recognise that much of what takes place in our lives occurs without our conscious awareness, participation or control. The activity of the cells, the nervous system, the internal organs are all virtually automatic functions that elude conscious oversight. Very rare exceptions, involving extreme disciplines, bring an individual the ability to slow down the heartbeat or respiration. Normally, these things take place unconsciously.
Transformation of human nature is not practical from a standpoint mired within that nature. Forces push the being in one direction or another, and the individual is under the power of the divergent drives put up by the physical, the vital and the mental being, compounded by the impact of the ever-changing balance of the three Gunas, or qualities of Nature, which either depress or accentuate the response to the various forces and drives acting on one aspect or another of the exte al being.

In The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo devotes a chapter to the ‘sevenfold ignorance’. While we are fixated on our exte al mind, life and body and the life we lead in the exte al world, we remain ignorant of the forces at work, behind the scenes, to create what we call our being and personality, and to bring about the circumstances that we require in the exte al live to realise the purpose of our existence (even if we fail to recognise or acknowledge that purpose overtly). Our surface personality is like the tip of the iceberg, with the scope and mass of that iceberg hidden from our view.
Sri Aurobindo is able to illustrate the different ways that seekers wind up facing and dealing with difficulties or obstacles that arise during the yogic process. This is not a “one size fits all” process due to the differing backgrounds, starting points, capacities and social environment governing each separate individual. No matter how advanced a particular sadhak or practitioner may be, the difficulties are there, whether overt on the surface of the being, or hidden within and constituting an inner struggle.
The power of the Soul. It is the most powerful!rnThe brain is a mere organ of the body. It is like a machine, which once the body dies, stops operating. The function of the brain ends there; and the body is discarded. rnIt is due to the presence of the Soul that one knows all that is happening in the brain, in the mind, in every part of the body. The brain works continuously, based on our past karmic account. Whatever thoughts we have formed in our past life, these thoughts a

The time has come for our world to envision the end of war… war has become antiquated. Here is what we need to do: 1 - Whenever we have a difference of opinion we will sit down and talk things out and come to agreements which are beneficial to both parties. 2 - We will abide by arbitration and know that the highest law of the land is love. If the final outcome is not loving and kind to both parties… we have to rework the whole process.
It’s so easy to see everything with a bias… so let’s use that bias in a good way and start seeing everything with a bias of love. 1 - You can see volcanos as bad and destructive… or you can see them as changing the appearance of this planet in a good way seeding elements that start life. 2 - You can see storms as bad and destructive… or you can see new beginnings that take place whenever a storm comes by and washes away all the old and new plants take hold and a new beginning takes over.

“Seek thou to know that from which these creatures are born, whereby being born they live and to which they go hence and enter again; for that is the Ete al.” Thus goes the teaching of Varuna to his son Bhrigu in the Taittiriya Upanishad (translation by Sri Aurobindo in The Upanishads, pg. 275). We rarely stop and wonder about how it is we exist, and for what reason.
We see many examples through time of individuals who began a spiritual quest with good intention and who later came to grief as they got caught up in the snares of what Sri Aurobindo calls the ‘intermediate zone’. When we leave behind the safety and security of the exte al consciousness and its grounded physical reality, and enter into a world filled with vital forces, pressures, inner thoughts and drives, it becomes difficult to sort out what is actually taking place.
It is a quite natural impulse. An individual has an extraordinary, unusual and in some cases, inexplicable experience, outside of his normal realm of experiences. Either through vital enthusiasm, a feeling of ego-aggrandisement due to the extraordinary nature of the experience, or through sense of fear or conce about what the experience is and what significance it has, he wants to communicate it to others. There is a very strong ego-driver that can motivate this need to describe, explain and otherwise take credit for having had the experience.

Western psychology has investigated the impact of subtle forms of bias on what and how we perceive things, and how we interpret what we perceive. An individual’s cognitive bias subtly influences what he believes has occurred, and various people, witnessing the same event, but coming from different viewpoints, will report out what happened differently, in line with the cognitive filter they have applied.
Soul on its own is strong; infinite strength is an inherent property of our Soul. Yes, itâs a different thing that we are unable to experience its strength today. This is because although the Soul that resides within our body is completely pure and infinitely strong, it is surrounded by thick veils of ignorance and heaps of merit and demerit karma. Itâs a fact that the Soul has never been contaminated by any Merit (Good) or Demerit (Bad) Karmas, but since they cover our S
Have you heard of the 3 letter word which seems exceptionally âImmortal, Impregnable, Infiniteâ, and is living and breathing in every life? Dear readers, if you are thinking about the omniscient and omnipotent âGODâ, then indeed it is quite not the case here, as our beloved Almighty is indecipherable and omni-benevolent, and in every regard incomparable! Then, who is so influential, having the potential to possess these unparalleled virtues and getting our sole attent
To leave the bad and come into good is called religion. And, when on a spiritual journey, we donât go acquiring any good thing, nor do we go changing any bad thing; we directly go for knowing what is reality. And since you are just a young student yet, there cannot be a better age to start this journey! So, wish you good-luck! To Know the Self Is Called Spirituality rnSoul is the real Self; hence, in other words, spirituality means âto know the Soulâ.rnOnce you experien
The vital envelope sends us signals if we are able to perceive them. Sometimes we begin to feel run down, tired, exhausted, or stressed out. We may begin to feel a little feverish or feel the beginning of what we might call a cold or sore throat occurring. This is prior to the full expression of an illness, and may just be the feeling or sense the individual receives. This is an early warning signal that something is trying to break through the first line of defense of the body and manifest an illness.
Sri Aurobindo translates Shwetashwatara Upanishad, Chapter Six, Verse 19: “Who hath neither parts nor works, for He is utterly tranquil, faultless, stainless, therefore He is the one great bridge that carrieth us over to Immortality, even as when a fire hath burnt up all its fuel.”
