Circumstances in life Or how to change life difficulties
**We often find that those who are pure and want to make spiritual progress face adverse circumstances repeatedly. They are very troublesome. And those who are very materially inclined have a smooth peaceful life. The conclusion we draw is life is very unfair. ** **I see this quite often. And I Agree with them whole …

Don’t lover in an illusion!
We like to think we are making progress! In some ways we are. But in many ways we are stuck. We repeat the same senseless mistakes. Let’s say you think you are mediating. But instead of making progress we make the error of thinking how to make progress or imagining progress or making a dialogue …

Difficulties on the path
This will be in 2 parts First let me display what Aurobindo wrote You are quite mistaken in thinking that the possibility of the sunlit path is a discovery or original invention of mine. The very first books of Yoga I read more than thirty years ago spoke of the dark and the sunlit way …

This is a good beginning
Naturally, it is to widen and illumine your consciousness — but how to do it? Your own consciousness… to widen and illumine it. And if you could find, each one of you, your psychic and unite with it, all the problems would be solved. The psychic being is the representative of the Divine in …

Fishbowl
After 2 days of struggle, I was finally able to go back to my true consciousness. When certain karmas are about to come into play, or if one does something that is not appropriate, the first thing that happens is the consciousness gets clouded and one is no longer able to go that deep. Yes, …

The mind (continued)
We ended the previous blog in a rather gloomy and dismal way. After all, who likes an existence where there is nothing to look forward to. A situation where the mind wants nothing and has nothing to look forward to is quite depressing! This is where the problem lies. The soul is not the mind. …

More ideas on meditation
There is a state in meditation when the sounds you hear disappear ! People generally think meditation is concentration or focusing your mind on something. This is one method of yoga but it is a slow process. The mind cannot reach the divine. The soul, which is a ray of the divine can. The soul …
