[Question Answers - 6] Q&A session, recorded on May 12, 2025 at the Study Camp at Madhuban, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Ramgarh, Nainital. The questions and timecodes are below:
00:00:00 Introduction
00:00:17 In one of Her talks Mother mentions that in adults the mental activity tends to paralyse the spontaneous exchange of energies, receiving and spending too. Please explain how this happens and what can we do in day to day life to protect it.
00:04:46 Some practical tips especially for couples to make life more harmonious, and walk hand in hand on the golden path.
00:20:46 What to do with the ego seeking validation, wanting to prove itself to feel worthy enough? 00:23:15 Is it a way leading to finding the purpose of life?
00:25:44 How should people with different temperaments pursue the path of Yoga? (Yoga being an individual pursuit, and not a family affair)
00:30:20 One who wants to understand more, should spend more time studying; he sometimes in pressure to work for some, is it because of temperament?
00:31:07 Should we fulfil our desires or reject them?
00:34:12 Sometimes the rejection seems like a suppression, how to give up desires and learn to give selflessly?
00:36:12 How do we know if we should marry or have children Or reject these suggestions, given that we already believe that the purpose of life is?
00:40:26 Story of Socrates & his wife
00:43:28 I love listening to talks on Auromaa, but at times I enter deep sleep while listening, is it lack of plasticity?
00:45:35 My feeling is like that Sri Ma and Sri Aurobindo Prabhu are from One Supreme consciousness, transcendent Force or Supreme to whom we all say, Supreme Lord and Divine Mother; Are they the creator of this universe? Then why have they taken a human body?
00:48:06 Why do we get blown away with emotions like anger and why do they have so much hold over us that they make us turn our will against ourselves?
00:52:02 What about other entities, pisces….will they also evolve?
00:53:07 How can humans lose their Divyata (Divinity); Have they ever reached that stage in the past, if they did already then why have they come down and regressed?
00:55:37 Even when we do our professional work with minimum possible self-interest, even then a sense of attachment to work builds, it feels like love for the work, sense of responsibility for the work, but when it is encroached upon, it makes me feel uneasy as if something is taken away. Of course I offer it to Ma.
00:58:37 We have to learn to love the Divine in everyone, love the Divine as beloved, we have to finally love the Divine within, but why then some meet us as a friend, some as parent, some as child….
01:03:42 What is meant by Destiny?
