AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

For the past two months, an intense emotional attachment and desire have thrown my vital into turmoil, making me restless, angry, and disruptive at home. Even with the conscious awareness that this craving feeds the lower vital, the pull to love and be loved creates a severe inner conflict with my spiritual aspiration. I am caught between the lofty calling of Savitri and ordinary human needs. How do I resolve this duality, master this vital push, and rightly handle this relationship in the Mother’s Light?

It is good that you didn’t go as the door once opened tends to draw in the forces that push us more and more until either we get destabilised or else the vital gets exhausted and turns away towards other faces and forms. There is the danger of us becoming a toy of these forces then whose consequences can sometimes be quite disastrous. 

However the solution will not come by getting into inner conflicts with the vital. A vital that is aroused can become nasty like a wild tigress. Instead give it a direction and purpose by staying busy and doing exercises. Remind yourself that as he is not keen to take the relationship to its logical conclusion, it has no future. If still you must meet ask him to come. It won’t be wise for you to go to him in another city. 

This is not so much a dual personality. To feel love for someone and want to be loved are human and natural. But even there it is good to let reason keep a watch and control over the vital until the right person comes into your life shares your aspiration and supports it.

Affectionately

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. I would like to understand whether this means that the souls presently residing in Sri Krishna’s eternal abode would be able to come to the divine world that will manifest on Earth in the future. 🦚🌍

The beings in higher worlds as for example Goloka are not necessarily souls. The soul is a portion of the Divine that enters the earth and goes through the evolutionary process and return to the Divine, either to rest permanently in Him annulling itself completely or else to be part of the higher worlds as for example Devrishi …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
