AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The other night I had a dream that my younger sibling -sister was dying ๐Ÿ˜ฑ and she said she did not want to die but her state was such that I told her itโ€™s time to go, I got up heavy feelings, What does this mean?

Often names give us the clue or else the nature of our relationship with the person. Or the state of consciousness this person represented to you. In other words what that person means to us in terms of the intrinsic value. It is the part in you that corresponds and responds to the person who is dying is leaving you. And something in you wants to let it go but yet with a heavy heart perhaps.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Fate is a complex play of forces, both individual and collective. Regional and national or what we may say collective destinies are far more complex than individual. They also follow long curves of Time. Imagine, for example what the Hindus must have gone through the centuries from 1500 till just about a century ago, facing …

Dear Alok da, “When you are conscious of the whole world at the same time, then you can become conscious of the Divine.” Every time I come across this New Year Message of the Mother, I am always puzzled. What does it mean ‘To be Conscious of the Whole World’ and how to become Conscious of the whole World at the same time? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒผ

By whole world is not meant all the details of the outer events happening all the time though that too can be known.ย 

Becoming conscious of the whole world means to enter into the universal consciousness in which it is possible to know all that needs to be known simply by an act of concentration in that direction. This state is called as the….
