AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why people when they get some better option reject someone whom them are with for so long time? How to be careful with such people who treat other’s as an object of their pleasure😞?

People do so because they are driven by the whiplash of desire. It is not a question of better option, – after all how does even decide what is better when all that one is looking for is instant gratification and transient pleasures. It is simply the sign of a restless mind with no deeper values. If such people leave and go away for so called better options then one should be thankful to the Grace that one was made to see the reality behind the facade, the calculating mind behind the mask of love. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
