AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What do these lines of Savitri mean? In Canto 10 of Book 2 of SAVITRI, Sri Aurobindo talks of a Mediatrix on page 256, who awoke to a greater Truth beyond her acts. 📖💡[…]

What is that Mediatrix who suddenly appears here and starts acting? Please elaborate.

Sri Aurobindo is now describing the highest possibility of Reason, the discerning intellect that discovers itself as an intermediary between the higher truth and the lower triple world of mind, life and matter. This power, also known as buddhi, evolves out of the ordinary rational mind to act as a bridge and open the mind to the higher Light. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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.
