Preparing and Opening the Being to the Higher Force
By Monica Gulati — Apr 24, 2024
For a long period of time, we try to find temporary resolutions and harmonies in our life, through the tool of a half-lit ordinary mind and reason. And it does serve a purpose to our growth and understanding. But after we have been long enough in the domain of this logical-analytical mind, and after we have tried at infinite instances to find resolutions, no matter how decent or worthy, on the same level, something still feels limited, and amiss. It seems like that is the time when one can rise above the conceptual, dualistic mind, and access the calm, peace and higher Force of Consciousness above the mind. It is at such a stage that an aspiration from below rises upwards and stations the consciousness above the physical mind which is still stable, like an open, ready receptacle.

Self-forgetfulness and its beauty
By Monica Gulati — Oct 15, 2023
What bothers virtually every one of us is self-obsession. That too, an obsession about a separate self, that is me, myself, limited in this frame of body, mind and life. And believing that limitedness and sense of separateness to be true, one finds oneself always incomplete, lacking, not enough, and which takes us on a perpetual journey in a want to be more, more, always more; and which ultimately can only be fulfilled in the Divine. And isn’t it a paradox, that the more I live a life of self-forgetfulness, not making the little ‘me’ the centre of my world, the more life takes a deeper, truer meaning? In self-forgetfulness, I find true contentment. This article explores self-forgetfulness advancing towards self-giving, in the light of the words of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
