AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

So, Alok Da, until the time that I don’t organically open to the Mother with the revelation that She indeed is the Divine… How do I pray? How do I ask for Grace and from Whom? 😐🙏🏻🪷🍂

Even if one is unable to pray, it is still possible to aspire. Aspiration is independent of belief, even though there is a kind of faith implicit in it. One can also address the prayer to the Divine whom one does not yet know but believes that somewhere He or She exists, even though one does not understand who or where they are. Prayer is not indispensable for the Sadhana. It is aspiration that is needed and it doesn’t require faith in any particular form or aspect of the Divine. To put it simply, even if we do not believe or understand Grace, still the Grace acts if our seeking and aspiration is sincere. 

Meanwhile, continue with your readings and practice what you read. The Divine knows Himself in the heart of the seeker and acts based on this deepest inner truth of the seeking within us.

Affectionately,  

Alok Da

Alok da, You get many questions over here regarding dreams. I am always bit perplexed on the question whether one should even bother with them and be conscious of them and note them down or utterly not bother and be ignorant of them? What’s their place in practice of this yoga? I remember reading a little bit of the western psychological theory about dreams activating those contents which we were avoiding and should be doing consciously in our wakeful life, for example there was this case of a woman who was continuously dreaming of a woman who was a living a wandering adventurous life but she in her actual life was living a life of infantile dependence on her parents and not having the adventurous courage of launching herself into the uncertain challenges of life. How true is this observation?

Dreams are a large chunk of our life given the time we spend in dreaming. Hence a study of dreams, and eventually becoming conscious of them and mastering them is surely something gained and won back from the realms of the unconscious…
