AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is this phenomenon, and why does this happen and more importantly how can watch shows or movies in a detached way? I had a question regarding movies. I like watching different movies. But I have noticed that whenever I watch movies it has an effect like I have become the character so I feel the feelings of the character. ๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽž๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿฟ

And the forget the point that “It’s just a movie” and also one more thing is that there comes a certain desire or craving to have a life like that character. For example after watching investigation or spy movies I feel wow I should be a spy or be in that place. And if nothing of this then too the thoughts of a film I liked linger around for days in my head.

We are not made up of a single piece. There are many different parts in us that are normally suppressed. These parts sometimes express themselves through fantasy or imagination especially in creative people. It is these suppressed parts that sometimes step into the forefront and push our imagination. In fact very often these parts get exhausted subjectively in this way. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฎ

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …

I have been living away from home for almost 9 years for my studies, and currently study in a foreign country. I usually donโ€™t get much lonely and even if I, I get comfortable on remembering the Mother. But for sometime, I am getting too emotional on festivals such as today, which usually results in a fever and impacts my work. How should I deal with it?๐Ÿก๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿงธโ˜•
