AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had a dream last night I saw that I have board a  very very fast moving train 🚅and we are going to some place which we don’t know but seems like a place like there was too much crime and chaos, everything is fine we sat down, then suddenly everybody in the train was asked to came in between the walking area between seats of the train away from the windows, I was surprised why we are asked to do so…someone told me it’s going to a place like Bihar and we want that nobody gets to see that there are people inside this train…I could not see people outside the train as it was moving with full speed…but they said there are people outside and they may attack us..so people inside the train stood in between the path of the train.

In the  second scene I don’t know what happened but I just came out of washroom and saw that all the people are jumping from the train to the water, specially the girls have gathered and they were all scared and crying, the water looked furious and white and large and scary resembled like Brahmaputra (as I have seen it for real passing from train through the bridge). The water look extremely dangerous from that height, and that too we have to jump from a very fast moving train. I was extremely scared and crying. I too was asked to jump with other girls and someone from the back counted. We were asked to jump to save ourselves. so we held  hand and started jumping while I jumped I called out  Maa  Sri Aurobindo’s name and kept calling them….I was scared,  I yelled Maa….and I jumped.

The next scene I saw was I am at home on the floor and suddenly I don’t know how did I came to my home, all I remembered back was jumping from horrified train to that deep vast running white water. I don’t know how this happened and I woke up from my dream. The dream was scary…The journey scary The jump scary. But all I know I reached home safely.

The extremely fast train is the vital aspects of Nature under whose influence or impulse we often move. This is disorienting and confusing especially as it creates swings between extremes. One needs to keep centering oneself. Bihar of course indicates that the journey under the vital push and impulse is taking us towards dark and dangerous territories. However if one continues the journey it leads one to a condition of being engulfed by the world forces which the sea represents. The remedy is the Mother’s Name which saves and grounds you and brings you back home.

Are the processes of Purification and Transformation the same thing? I have a little confusion. In the process of Purification, we face some adverse forces that are mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in the chapter ‘The difficulties of Transformation’. Are they the same? 🔥🌄[…]

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
