AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

A sense of pride even if we know it’s wrong…A feeling of knowing things better than others, wanting to prove our knowledge. How to deal with this instinct? Should we stop discussions? Should I not talk to my friends because of this thing popping out everytime I talk to them? Some part of mine knows that I don’t know anything but when indulged into public.. while the self esteem is at stake, the pride pops up😏

Pride of course opens doors to downfall though at your age it is somewhat natural. Its remedy is to read books that open a very vast vision before us, books through which we become aware that there is so much more to know, so much more to do, so much more to realise and be. Also, one develops humility when one meets people who know the true things. Finally pride disappears as we surrender more and more to the Divine knowing that He is everything and without Him we are nothing. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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…
