AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

But in one of your talks, I heard a story of Ramayana from you. It goes as, when Vibhishan was staying in Ayodhya, he had that strong urge to have non-veg food (as was his habit), so he went to the jungle to hunt animals. 🐇🏹🌄🌻[…]

But slowly he had to stop it, as first he had a vomit from that, then he himself didn’t feel like it and that way he got rid of it with the Grace of Shree Rama. (I don’t remember the story exactly, so pardon and correct me if there is a mistake). So somehow he gave expression to what his desire was, didn’t he? But still, he was liberated from it. Was it because he was internally rejecting it, yet could not fight the urge to express it? Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

It is because of his love and bhakti and surrender to Lord Rama that the change came. That is the key.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

But now the group which I saw there is mostly scattered and we don’t have the same intensity of friendship between us. Is this just a subconscient thing coming up? Or is there any significance behind this? 🌙💭🤝🙏🏻 […]

Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
