AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Alok da, one of my subject teacher does not tech us prop3erly and he called us bad words and insults us in front of the class. He asked us to revise a doc of 40 pages and he has not even taught us half of it. Please Alok da can you tell me what to do my term 1 exams are coming😪?

I can understand the frustration when teachers behave badly and set a bad example. But look at it this way that school is a place where we learn the lesson at two levels. First is about the subjects that we learn in classes. The second, and most important, are the lessons of life that we learn through the interactions with teachers, friends and others, how we take success and failures and how we develop certain faculties, qualities and capacities needed for life.

Coming to the teacher we have to totally ignore his bad words, anger etc. People insult us only if we accept their insult. But if we just brush it off saying that we are not what he is saying about me then it stops affecting us. The purpose of the teacher is to facilitate learning. Take whatever he can give but learn to do more and more self reading.  Now so much good material and good books are available on every subject. Learn from these alternate sources. If time is less than increase concentration. By increasing our concentration we can learn the same subject much faster.

Have confidence and I am sure you can learn in less time and do well. 

Lots of love

Alok Da

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
