AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How to deal with the worries and fears about a possible future difficulty, that may or may not come? I think my psychosis is magnifying my worries many times. Sometimes, I am unable to divert my attention from these worries, dear Alok da. I am praying to the Divine, which comforts me sometimes, but not always. I want to remember the Divine most of the time, but with these worries, it feels as if I am living in a mental hell. I want to take Refuge in the Divine, and so, be free of all worries, but I think my psychosis is not allowing me to nestle much in the Divine’s arms. I want to talk and pray to the Divine, both by speaking and writing to Him, but I am unable to come out of these worries, which is making it difficult even to talk to the Divine. I try to reason out the worries by mental analysis, but that is not helping either, perhaps because of my psychosis, dear Alok da. I want to connect to the Divine most of the time, but these worries are very painful😕

Don’t keep thinking of the difficulties and the worries. They only increase by it. As to psychosis take whatever treatment you may have been advised for it. But for the rest look towards the future and feel joy and content in taking Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s Name. Have faith and endure the passage. Nothing lasts, neither joys not worries and fears. The Divine is the only abiding Truth. Turn your mind again and again towards Him until one day it gets permanently fixed in Him. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. 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 …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

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…
