AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Lately, I have been experiencing vivid dreams and waking visions featuring well-known cultural figures and intense scenarios—ranging from sudden surges of immense wealth and public adulation to dramatic confrontations where I find unexpected strength while chanting and remembering the Divine.🌙🧠✨[…]

These experiences, alongside recent spiritual blessings and energy transmissions from my spiritual guide, have left me wondering about their true significance. Do these recurring visions reflect genuine inner shifts and magnetic attraction, or are they vital formations and projections of the subconscious mind? How should one rightly discern and understand these phenomena without being misled by vital ambition?

You did the right thing by leaving the typically highly competitive, stressful environment, which is generally not conducive to inner growth. From what you describe of the new startup, it seems quite the right thing from sadhana point of view; that is to say, less engagement with the people around and more involvement with your inner self in relative solitude. Take this relative isolation as a boon, as it is indeed so from the yoga point of view. No work is permanent. It is a question of a few years, but if you take it with the right inner attitude, it can give a big boost to your inner life. Take it as a gift of Grace and indeed it will turn out to be so.

Affectionately,

Hello sir. Since childhood, I have remained deprived of true love and real concern for me, even from my parents and siblings. Now, my married life has turned into a horrible situation. How to overcome such bitter experiences of life and become a true servant of the mother and Sri Aurobindo? 💗🌸🙏🏼

Take all this as a Grace. If you see closely the situations are actually serving the purpose of taking you closer and closer to your true destiny, the Divine. Those who are happy in the world as it is today are like souls in the kindergarten of life busy with toys and the basics. But when one is ready for the higher truth, then either one …

Namaste Sir. In one quote, the Mother has said: “Give up trying, give up the will to progress, give up the aspirations for realisation, give up everything and say to the lord in all sincerity, let thy will be done.” If we give up everything, what will make us to work and search for the divine? 🙏🏼🕊️✨

It is the penultimate stage of sadhana somewhat like Sri Krishna’s final injunction to Arjuna, sarvadharmanparityajya, to give up all Dharmas and take refuge in Him alone. Give up trying is not same as do not try. It means that one has tried, possibly tried hard but nothing much or at least decisive happened. It is then …

​As you mentioned that instead of taking scriptures literally, one should understand their true essence, I have one final question in this regard:​ What is the true spiritual essence or underlying message behind the verse (12.13.13) that speaks of donating the Srimad Bhagavatam on a golden throne on Bhadrapada Purnima? 📖🪷🔍 […]

That is exactly what I am trying to tell you. If we take every verse of the Srimadabhagawatam as if it is originally said and hence to be practiced and followed literally then we fall into the same trap as the Mullahs. Each Scripture has seen additions made by unscrupulous minds for vested personal interests. Srimadabhagawatam is no exception. Do you really believe that after all the beautiful uplifting things spoken of in ..
