AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I saw a vision while awake, in which many deer were eating dry grass. What does this mean?

It is the image of the world. The deer is a rather timid creature that is busy feeding its hunger. Yet is it a prey to the forces waiting to leap and devour it. What saves it is its vigilance and swiftness. The suggestion here is that one should be gentle but vigilant in detecting the danger and swift in retreating when needed.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
