AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok Da, what is the difference between Imagination and Real? Past life experiences. 📚

Real past life experiences are in flashes of those special moments when one was in contact with one’s deepest self, the psychic being. Often one doesn’t get to know the name etc or other things such as family and job. Later one can construct a few things which may or may not be true since the mind is a form-maker. 

Imagination is a half conscious process wherein the mind throws up images that suit its fancy. These are mostly either repressed desires and wishes or simply associations picked up by the subliminal that has an access to the cosmic fields. The subliminal, for example, can pick up things going on in people near or around them or close to them, including their fancies and fantasies and take it as its own projecting it as part of their own past or present. Past life is a very mixed field and it is best not to much dabble into it as it may mislead the present. If images or flashes arise in dream or vision then it is fine though even here it is best not to give them too much importance. 

What happened in the past is of little importance since its essence has already prepared and presented our today. It is this we have to deal with and for that we must be focused on the here and now, the totality and the complexity of the present. What we have left behind in the past was non-essential. Whatever mattered has already been carried into the present. Our face should always be turned towards the future. 

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? 🧘✨🕊️

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.  📚🧠✨

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. 

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,..
