We moved past that spot, but when we needed to turn, Ritu kept going straight. I told her she was on the wrong path and asked her to turn back, so she did. A drunk man appeared and started leering at Ritu; I scolded him, and he left. I then asked Ritu to let me take the bike. I asked for directions to Ajmer, and after getting the information, I pulled up the map on my phone. Ritu held onto me tightly as we rode on.
We reached another village and lost our way; in one lane, a pack of dogs was barking furiously, so I steered the bike away and asked for directions further ahead. I held Ritu’s hand and kissed her, then asked, “How do I look to you?” She replied, “You look very beautiful.” I asked if she actually wanted to do this, and she said no. I told her that if she didn’t want to, we shouldn’t do it.
We continued on until the road split in two, but the map stopped giving directions, and we took a wrong turn. We realized our mistake a little further ahead; there were many people coming our way, so we asked them for directions. Shortly after, we reached the highway, and I felt relieved, thinking there was nothing to worry about now.
As soon as we hit the highway, Ritu got off the bike and boarded an open white bus. There was a huge signboard on the highway indicating that Ajmer was 138 km away. Right there, I ran into my maternal uncle; he had two new bikesโa white Pulsar and a Discoverโstacked one on top of the other. I also checked my weight, which showed 89 kg, and I was delighted to see that I had gained weight. Then, a shopkeeper was offering some goods, but they were very expensive, so Mama decided not to buy them. I then asked Mama where we needed to turn off the highway, and he said, “At Kanakpura.”
Dada, does this offer any clue as to which direction I should head next?
Beautiful dream. Ritu is the ever-changing nature which was driving you. Now slowly you are assuming control. Certain lower tendencies are being shed as nature is ready to drop them off. The old associations are getting slowly behind you as you are entering the straight highway road. The white vehicles are the Divine Help on the way. Kanakpura is the city of gold, while 138 is your self (1) and nature (3) under the Divine Protection (8). Ajmer is the symbol of climbing the Imner mountains to safety.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
