Many people profess to believe in the existence of God based on the teachings of their religion. Because the belief is based solely on a teaching, rather than actual experience that would support this belief, they may, in many cases, not take their faith in God seriously enough to actually abide by the rules, laws and commandments set forth for regulating their behaviour in their lifetime. The Judeo-Christian belief in God and the 10 Commandments is a case in point. Many professed believers still commit adultery, steal or kill!

The field of psychology in the West has developed over the last couple of centuries with a focus on the influence of the subconscious levels on our exte al lives, fixating on trauma, past events and their effect on the way we respond to circumstances in our lives. This has led to techniques such as psychotherapy, dream interpretation, regression therapy, and hypnosis as mechanisms to unlock the subconscious realm to gain an understanding of what lies hidden there.

As the mental being develops and we begin to experience the sense of separation from the other beings who are part of the creation, we also begin to have a sense that we have “free will” and make our own independent choices. To a great degree, this sense is misplaced, insofar as our current decisions and choices are very much controlled by both past actions and their trajectory, as well as pressures and manipulation by forces active upon us, both in the past and the present.

Human beings love subjecting others to practical jokes. But very likely, we are not the only beings who suffer from this malady. Many people have had the experience related here by the Mother about searching for things, sometimes looking in the place where those things are, but not finding them. Then later, they suddenly become visible again.

When we look at existence from the individual standpoint, we see a number of solid forms interacting with one another. We do not see how they came into existence (other than the physical, material, practical methodology we can observe, which fails to give us the causative factors or significance.) We do not see the forces that play through each of these forms, and we experience most of our life as originating within each form ‘somehow’. This view is unfortunately so limited and framed as to prevent us from gaining a complete or true understanding of existence.

There are quite a few anecdotes and statements by individuals about remembering past lives, and there is an entire field of study dealing with what is called ‘past life regression therapy’. Some of the more intriguing incidents involve young people who can describe a village in some distant land, and even recognise or speak in a language they have not learned in this lifetime. There is some amount of uncertainty as to whether this is evidence of an actual past life experience, or possibly an alte ative such as accessing what some call the “akashic record” that records all events through time

Every great power that humanity discovers and wields in the world has both its negative and its positive side. It can either be utilized to destroy or to support, benefit and create. For example, humanity has harnessed the use of fire. Fire can burn down the house, or it can cook one’s food. Rocket technology can be used to create weapons, or to explore the solar system. Certain medicines can be used to poison an individual.

We have a physical being, we have a vital energy including nervous energy, moral force and emotional energy, and we have a mental nature which includes thought, reasoning powers, and formulation of thought into word or deed. The vital force acts on its own plane as well as utilizes the physical being to effectuate its results, but the character of that energy is based in the way the vital element within us responds.

As long as we recognise the body-life-mind complex and identify with it through the development of and focus on a specific ego-standpoint, we are able to function in the world, and carry out the basics of existence. Yet, as we easily can appreciate, we do not know the meaning or purpose of our lives. Many feel like it is just meaningless and we should just find ways to enjoy our lives, taking advantage of material, vital and mental powers that help us aggrandise that exte al personality. Others believe this is a training ground for us to learn how to follow specific moral rules or religious c

The Rishis of the Rig Veda focused, first and foremost, on kindling the mystic fire as the key to the reception and utilization of higher powers of consciousness. The altar for this flame is in the secret heart of the being, deep within, behind the physical organ, where the psychic being is primarily seated.

A young child was asked what causes the wind. The child replied: “When the trees move their branches and leaves, that is what makes the wind!” This extremely logical observation mirrors the way we tend to look at the world. We think that we make the decisions, that we are ‘in charge’ of what we do, and we fail to see that there are larger universal forces that move all action in us and others and in the world at large.

The ‘law of attraction’ has been seen as something of a ‘wish-fulfilling gem’, where we can think about something and focus on it, and thereby draw it to us. The reality of the law of attraction is not so dramatic as to cause riches, fame and other desired results to manifest for us somewhat automatically, but is nevertheless a reality that we can and should understand and utilize in the way we maneuver our way through life.

In his play Hamlet, William Shakespeare comments on the limitations of the objective mind and its ability to understand existence: ““There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”. Our mind’s view of the existence of the universe and its significance is blindered by our reliance on what we can observe with our senses, and our ability to correctly organise and interpret what we perceive.

Scientists are now beginning to speak of an infinite number of universes, each with their own beings and existence, many of which are very closely related to, and possibly interacting with, the universe within which we live.

Under the influence of the gnostic consciousness, the entire framework of the mental organisation of life, which we accept as assumed and given, would necessarily be modified. The very basis of viewing and understanding things would have to shift from one of division and separation to one of unity and oneness. This will have profound effects all spheres of human endeavor.

Our normal human view of things is based in the framing of the mental process which relies on distinguishing differences between one thing and another, between one being and another, between one event and another. This “fragmentation” leads us to focus primarily on the separation we have rather than on the underlying unity, the oneness of all creation. Our reliance on this standpoint leads us into sometimes quite tragic consequences.

The actions that take place in the exte al world are controlled by the action of the three Gunas, or qualities, of Nature. This includes not only the physical nature, but also the vital nature and the mental nature. There is what we may call a ‘machinery’ of Nature that drives the creation forward for an aim, determined by not each of us individually, but by the Divine Will carrying out its intention in the creation.

We are generally so fixated on the impressions we receive through the action of the five physical sense organs, that we fail to recognise that we frequently sense things without these senses providing any input. For instance, people can frequently sense when someone is staring at them, even when they have not seen nor otherwise experienced the presence of that individual. People sometimes experience fear, or horror in certain circumstances that have otherwise no visible cause for alarm.

Our understanding of existence is very much rooted in our own anthropocentric view of things. We generally recognise the awareness we hold within ourselves, and, viewing other beings and forms in our visible environs, we either attribute to them no consciousness, or, at best, lower forms or development of consciousness.

We have the tendency to get caught up in trying to capture a line of thought or to verbalize a perception or idea. When we have an experience of the spiritual realms, the first thing we want to do is to create a thought-form to explain it, to organise it, and to be able to describe it. The very process of doing this kind of mental gymnastics tends to crush out much of the native force of the experience. It loses its impetus the more we try to capture it with thought or word. This is in fact what has dried up the sense of many religious doctrines. They likely started out as some kind of powerfu

Modern day scientists, researchers and philosophers are beginning to explore the mysteries of life and as they do so, they are beginning to recognise the existence of domains, planes, worlds and universes that the exte al mind of humanity has avoided or at least resisted. Now scientists speak of parallel universes, “anti-universes”, quantum states in which all possible outcomes exist until we actually observe a specific one and bring it into actuality

Many people believe that realisation comes from reading specific texts, or practicing specific techniques of posture, breathing, prayer, mantra etc. The Mother provides a counterpoint to this belief by showing how the practice should take up all the actions and movements of life and transform them from exte al acts to expressions of an internal state of consecrated effort.

There are those who treat astrology as a science, those who believe that our fate is determined by the “stars” and also those who believe that astrology is a pseudo-science with no real basis in anything that can meaningfully either control our destiny or even signify events in our lives. How can we understand what role, if any, astrology has in providing guidance and direction in our lives?

A yogic discipline focused on the abandonment of life does not take pains to develop the inherent powers and capacities of the body, life-force and the mind. In fact, the powers of these elements of the human instrument are instead considered to be lures, obstacles and impediments to the realisation. The focus on escaping the ‘illusory’ life of the exte al being implies that any attempt to develop the body, life or mind is wasted effort and a distraction.âSome take this to the extreme of not exercising, accepting whatever food happens to come their way, and not caring about basic issues of hy

One of the greatest difficulties we face in trying to understand the operation of hidden or occult forces in life is the limitations on our ability to perceive and to know what is actually taking place. Each aspect of our being has its own way of “knowing”. For our lives in the exte al world we rely heavily on our senses for impulses that carry information to our nervous system and our brains. We are heavily dependent, then, on the accuracy and completeness of the sense perceptions and the ability to correctly interpret what we are sensing.

There are many forms of suggestion, some more subtle than others. Peer pressure is one form that everyone experiences at some point in time. Our friends and acquaintances do something and encourage us to participate and do it also. In some cases, this can lead to life-long consequences, such as gaining an addiction to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, etc. In other instances, it can be a positive force. Suggestion is a form of influence that acts when it finds a sympathetic vibration or receptivity in an individual. Another form of suggestion is advertising and its further extension of propaganda.

The primary standpoint for most people is that they are a physical body endowed with Life, Mind and (potentially in their minds) a Soul. Everything starts from the primacy of the body and its centrality in their view of their lives. This makes the purpose of life one of survival and procreation, with vital enjoyments and mental preoccupations as possible ways to enjoy the sojou in the body.

The supramental consciousness, as the next evolutionary stage, will eventually resolve the difficulties of the transitional period and establish itself on earth. The question then arises, what is the relationship between the gnostic beings and the existing organisation of beings rooted in body, life and mind. Sri Aurobindo reminds us that we are obviously dealing with speculation at this point.

Most likely, each one of us has experienced suffering in life, in one form or the other. The statistics go on to show that today, nine out of ten people in this world are suffering either due to some mental or physical or emotional or financial problem. WHY DO I SUFFER ?rnThe word suffering refers to the unpleasant feeling that one experiences while going through the pain or difficulty that one has to go through in a given situation. While the weak give in to the suffering ve

Most people are rooted in the vital consciousness, and thus respond to the vibrations that occur within the vital realm. Unless they have contact with their soul or at least clear influence by the psychic being on the exte al parts of the being, they are virtually unable to recognise the action of the soul in others. They therefore do not clearly appreciate the nature of the soul, or its action. Many actually deny the existence of the soul. Even those who admit the existence of the soul, however, frequently confuse vital movements for the action of the soul. Those who have a clear experience

Possibly it is a result of our relatively short span of life during which we are active and capable of conscious observation, insight and action. The period of childhood is mostly involved with development of the body, the vital force and the mind to the point where they can become functional and effective within the life of humanity. Teenage years are very much preoccupied with education, career choices and dealing with the changes to the body and the vital drives that occur and which determine much of the allocation of time and mind at that period. When the individual enters the late teens a

There is a serious rationale behind the many spiritual paths that counsel the true seeker to abandon his family, his friends, his social life, and live secluded in a cave, in the forest, in the desert, to practice his spiritual discipline. All of these connections and social interactions bring with them vibrational patterns that express the forces of thought, the forces of emotions, the forces of desires, the forces of physical and vital demand, that automatically enter into one and raise those similar vibrations within oneself.

It is common for spiritual aspirants to be advised to isolate themselves or at least limit their contact with others in a social setting, with the ostensible reason to aid the seeker in focusing on the spiritual effort and avoid distraction and the possibility of being diverted or diluted in the energy through vital forces affecting the life. Many are told to cut off the influence of family and friends for similar reasons. Some require devotees to avoid any interaction with money as well, since it carries its own occult power.

The seer of the Taittiriya Upanishad identified various planes of ever more subtle and powerful consciousness, with the most subtle and powerful being the ultimate causative agent of the denser and lower formations of Matter, Life and Mind. If we look at the experience of the vedic seers, we find that there are three basic terms that define stages of conscious awareness. There is the lower, denser level consisting of Matter-Life-Mind. There is another level that is the “Knowledge” plane of consciousness.

First of all, let's understand the term 'Enlightenment' in detail.rnAn example:rnSuppose one asks you, “What is your name?” You will say, “My name is John(insert your name).” rnSo, are you John or is your name John?

Spirituality Means Turning Towards The SoulrnOne who is on the path of spirituality may be seen rendering his worldly duties and obligations externally, but internally their sole desire remains that of ‘attaining the Soul’.

Sri Aurobindo once told about an incident that helped spark his interest in yoga-force. His brother was very ill. A wandering yogi came by and when he learned on that illness, asked for a glass of water which he then proceeded to infuse with mantas. The illness was quickly overcome once Sri Aurobindo’s brother drank the mantra-infused water. Sri Aurobindo remarked that anything that has that kind of power needs to be investigated!

The human mind likes to have nice, neat categories. “Either/Or”, “Black/White”. It has a hard time dealing with mixed actions or anything that partakes of various allegedly competing or conflicting principles. Thus, the debate over free will and determinism rages on, and eventually comes down to whether the Divine actually directs every moment of one’s life, thoughts, actions, reactions, responses, etc.; or whether there is any room for individual discretion or some element of free will.

In Paradise Lost, John Milton describes at great length the intentions and motivations of the fallen angels as described by the Christian tradition, and their attempt and need to influence and control the human world and thereby to defeat God’s intention and plan for humanity. This story is in fact not unique to the Christian tradition. Each culture, each tradition addresses the fight between those forces that have a vested interest in maintaining and perpetuating Darkness, Ignorance and Death and opposing the advent and growth of Light, Knowledge and Life.
