AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had a dream two weeks ago. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary dream, but it continues to stay in the back of my mind. I feel it holds some meaning; please explain.πŸ˜΄πŸŒœπŸ’€πŸ’­

In the dream, I was walking in a busy area of the city where I live. It was nighttime. Suddenly, I saw flashes of lightning in the sky β€” but then I realized it was fighter planes engaged in a dogfight. The scene was that the enemy had invaded our inner airspace, and the IAF was fighting them. Strangely, I was the only one seeing this; the people around me were unaware, not even looking up. They were busy with their work and kept walking, totally oblivious to what was happening above their heads.

At that moment, a fighter plane crashed near me. Surprisingly, it was a single-propeller plane from old times. In the cockpit, I saw our brave IAF pilot, but with him were two small children, perhaps three years old. I quickly rushed to help him. He told me he had to go and complete his mission. I said to him, “Let me take care of the kids; the commune will look after them.” But he refused, saying, “The people are selfish.” Then, he took off again to continue the fight. I returned home, telling myself, “He is right β€” we are selfish people. He is defending us, yet we cannot even take care of his children.” The dream ended there.

Yesterday, I had another dream. I was at a beach β€” a strange, yet beautiful and pleasant place. I walked slowly towards the sea, then started swimming and diving deep into the water. I was able to breathe underwater, and the water wasn’t corrosive or salty; it was sweet and soft. I vaguely remember seeing large whales or some other big fish. It was a very peaceful and joyous moment. Then, the dream ended. Please explain the meaning of these dreams.

The first dream is clearly a dream experience from your immediate past life. The second dream is an actual excursion in the higher vital worlds. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I’m curious to know what place Sri Aurobindo would have given to Personality Classifications like Myers-Briggs, Socionics, etc. I understand that he spoke of psychoanalysis as an incomplete and partially ignorant tool of understanding the mind. πŸ“–πŸ§‘β€πŸ€“πŸ“š[…]

There was a time, long back, when I read many of these things. Found all of them not only grossly inadequate and limited but also missing the core of human nature, the person behind the personality. It is very much like the story of blind men searching for the elephant in the room and drawing their own conclusions about what the elephant likely is.

If a person is elevating their consciousness and developing themselves into a new consciousness, what about those who have already attained Liberation (Mukti) and have become one with the Supreme Being?

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state of Silence or Nirvana and then merging or losing all one’s individual truth that the….

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.πŸŒ§οΈπŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ’ŠπŸ« 

This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing wrong in taking them and bounce back on your feet in a few weeks at …
