AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Had a dream today. My friends had compelled me to go for a movie with them. Generally I never go to theatres since I don’t feel interested. That day they compelled me so much that its been years that they are asking me to come, and so atlast I agree to it. We had to climb steps and then climb through the branch of a tree to reach the theatre(!)… Does it have any meaning?πŸ’­πŸ˜΄πŸ’€πŸ›Œ

There was one girl before me and she went so fast. Next was me and few more were behind me. When I had to climb through the tree, I noticed there were thorns and it was not easy to jump to the second branch.Β I see there are lot of thorny bushes down also and the branch also wasn’t strong enough to hold a person to jump onto. I was feeling all the effort was not worth for just watching a movie but I wasn’t afraid, i was certain and thinking that Mother will take care even if I had to fall. Then I decided to jump onto the wall beside but didn’t notice it had iron nails. I step onto it, nails prick on the feet but jump down from the wall and then am safely outside the building. I remove the nails, there was not much pain through my feet were full of blood. There i was sitting and was angry to myself that I agreed to the movie and this thought popped up: “maybe I was not meant for it, desires will end up in pain and is worthless..and Mother wanted to show me this” and then I woke up..

It has exactly the meaning that you have intuitively understood. Movie here means entering the world of vanity, glamour, artificiality, pleasure, attractive but false. The thorns are the path and the price one pays for it. Good you stepped out and followed your intuition rather than the advice of others.

Affectionately,
