AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

2 interesting symbolic dreams in 2 days: My father was driving a car ๐Ÿš— and I in the back seat (in real life my dad is a great driver). Suddenly my father makes a mistake and drives off road launching our car into mid air. As this was in the mountains, I was sure we were going to crash and die. After the car flew for 10 meters or so in the air, it spun 360 degrees and miraculously and very smoothly landed on an ONLY road that was there (and which went perpendicular to the one we were on previously). Somehow, I managed to record all of this on my phone and watch the video back [conti]

I showed this video to my uncle and he couldnโ€™t believe it. I told him โ€” this is the action of the Divine Grace. Furthermore, this โ€œONLYโ€ road that we landed on was the only one in the radius of a few kilometers making such an incident particularly unlikely and symbolic. What could the meaning be? I consulted somebody I know, and the person gave a very interesting view that this could represent my vital being driven by desire and leading to dangerous roads but ultimately the psychic saving me by placing me on the spiritual path (the Only road). Want to get a second view.

Father represents the mind which believes it knows. But it makes mistakes and sometimes dangerous ones, possibly under the influence of desires. But the Divine Grace is there with you which not only saves but shows you the right road. 

Second day: I was at my deceased grandmotherโ€™s house. There were several venomous snakes inside. They bit her many times, and I knew that she will die from those bites. I somehow managed to escape these snakes and run to the roof of the building. Still, even there I found some snakes. There was a certain uncomfortable and spooky sensation in the dream. I was on the edge of my seat during the whole experience.

The dead grandmother are subconscious impressions that are buried like dark and dangerous energies of Nature. The snakes are these dark energies emerging, possibly fears of all kinds trying to chase you right upto the mind (roof). But then you are pulled out from there by the Grace again.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I feel the pressure on my crown when I do meditation. Also, is this a common occurrence? This crown thing? It appears now and again randomly and gains momentum during meditation. Meditations have literally changed. It feels like as though I took a subtle bath(a rather risky turn of phrase ) every time I meditate. Why is this happening to me? When does the Force choose you? ๐Ÿง˜โœจ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Yes. Pressure upon the crown takes place before the full opening.

Many, many, many experiences come. It is best not to get too much into analysing, understanding them else one can easily get distracted or the ego may get puffed up. It is like getting delayed by the scenery on the way. Stay focused on giving oneself more and more to the Divine, growing in faith, sincerity, love and surrender,…

Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.ย  ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿง โœจ

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read.ย 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
