AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Very interesting perspectives in your answer. When you talk of the crisis of faith, normally one would associate it with a lack of religious faith. In terms of the dynamic will-to-be, which you referred to, what is the way to restore it in children and teenagers🤔?

We have to be living examples of what we want our children to be. They must know and understand, not just by words and stories but by relatable examples that ambition and desire are not the only laws of life, – they may be needed to kick start life, but they should be replaced by the conscious will for progress, the pursuit of excellence and, the relentless urge to exceed the limits in every direction. Especially the idea that life’s goal is to seek pleasure and comfort, earn some money, own property, get married and enjoy should be replaced by more intrinsic goals to know more, to love better, to grow stronger in every way, to discover the ultimate Truth. If the children can be inspired towards this, the rest will follow. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Today I had a vivid dream where I was sitting with my late grandfather, offering to read to him from Savitri. In life, our bond was anchored in deep spiritual sharing, and just before his passing, he had instinctively offered his pranam upon seeing a photograph of Sri Aurobindo.🌙📖🕊️🙏🏻[…]

How long was this, that is, when did your grandfather pass away? I was wondering if there was an actual contact with him in the dream. It seems likely. In any case it is a most beautiful dream, possibly a dream vision.

But how long will she be in this Coma stage? Her body’s some part is working and some not…Means what we heard: some percent of her brain is working…. 🕯️🤲🌸🙏🏻

Surely she can pull through the Coma. But it is difficult to predict. Ultimately it depends upon what her soul choses. And the choice of the soul is not based on the attachments in the world. The soul is not attached to anyone in its journey through lives. Its only attachment is to the Divine Truth. Its only concern is about the progress it can make in its life. If there is still the possibility of some progress in this body then it may return. If not then it may make a different choice.
