AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Often when I go into solitude for meditationšŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldn’t see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple — it was me walking around some ā€œschoolā€ if it can even be called thatā€ with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I haven’t felt that way since, and I still don’t know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?

Sometimes a state of outer crisis, an illness for instance, open an inner door of help. A withdrawl from the waking state is anyways conducive to an awakening into the inner worlds some of which, as this one, are far more beautiful than we can imagine. This was possibly the subtle physical world where you entered. 

Affectionately,

I prayed for this. The very next day, while reading Book 4, Canto 3 of Savitri, these lines came to my mind: šŸŒŒšŸ“–šŸ˜ŠšŸ™šŸ¼šŸŒ¹[…]

The whole mystery of the Divine Incarnation is there. The Divine assumes a Name and Form so that by the help of their Name and Form we reach beyond Name and Form. That is the ….

I was recently diagnosed with mild autism after going through the screening for family reasons. I have been following the Mother and Integral Yoga for a few years now. I was suspected of having autism as a child by a Teacher, but the Doctor misdiagnosed it, I think. Instead, I was told I was a gifted child. šŸ‘§šŸ˜•šŸ„²[…]

I would not label you with autism or for that matter anything else. I have met a few people who are unable to handle excessive vital energy not because of any weakness or narrowness but simply because they were endowed with a simplicity and straightforwardness that is so rare in human beings. It is certainly a positive…
