AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Sometimes we see how very common people around us progress in a very short span of time. That looks like a fairy tale. Why do such things happen😪? I know these are exceptions but still what could be the reasons for these?

How do we define common? We think that being born in poverty or a modest family with not much support or even not performing exceptionally in the school is being a common person. But the real criteria is within. A common man is he who is satisfied with the average ordinary life of comfort and material success. Most are indeed like that. But there are a few who nurture within them, often unknown to others, a flame of progress, an inbuilt faith in destiny and, dreams of a greater, happier life. Forces of the future respond to the persistent Idea and Faith within a person with which our destiny is shaped.

There are others who instinctively follow their inner lead, swadharma, rather than the pressure and demand from the Society and environment to perform and conform. They are ready to take the challenge and the risk. Even if they miss it prepares them for a future success.

Finally it is also a question of carry over from the past. Some lives are for preparation while some for reaping the fruits of past labour. Therefore one should always put in effort trusting destiny and God to give whatever and whenever He may choose to confer. 

There are ofcourse special destinies that apply to those chosen for a specific work in which case an incalculable force of Destiny or Grace acts in a way to fulfil the Divine Will in them regardless of any conditions. 

Affectionately,

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…
