AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mothers says cultivating disinterestedness is the first step towards living a true life. What are some of the practical ways to become disinterested, or act disinterestedly in life🤔? Especially when one sees so many defects in oneself.

It means to do things without reference to oneself, selflessly as an offering to Her regardless of the fruits or any other personal gain. In practice it means to take pleasure in all one does but not to do anything for the sake of pleasure. The choice of activity should not be based on personal preferences or rigid mental standard but on what helps feel closer to the Divine or expresses the Divine best through oneself.  Finally not to be attached to any particular activity or mode of living but to be ready to give up even those activities that one considers as the divine work without remorse if such be the inner need, the command or the calling. based on personal preferences or rigid mental standard but on what helps feel closer to the Divine or expresses the Divine best through oneself.  Finally not to be attached to any particular activity or mode of living but to be ready to give up even those activities that one considers as the divine work without remorse if such be the inner need, the command or the calling.

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 …

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…
