1. How can you use money wisely and manage it effectively🤔?

Don’t buy anything impulsively. Step and reflect whether one really needs it or it is just one of the things that one fancifully desires.

Keep aside a certain amount for unselfish purposes, for good of humanity and even better, for divine purposes.

2. How can you avoid being exploited by people around you in terms of money?

One should give away money in an unthinking manner. The context and purpose and the person should be considered carefully before giving. However once given one should be inwardly ready that it may not be returned. Charging interest on money that is lent is never a good idea. Best is neither to ask nor lend money. When given then it is best to forget about it.

3. What steps should you take to manage your finances better, especially when you receive a substantial amount but have nothing left by the end of the month?

Nothing left at the end of the month could be either due to over spending or generous giving. Over spending is never a good thing and generous giving when done blindly is not helpful either to the giver or to the receiver.

Money needs a careful conscious handling.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
