Home » Questions Asked by Children » Why do always younger siblings get advantage like they first preference to them only for eg if we fight for a pen the adults will say give it to the younger one, it’s very irritating when this happens . Even when the younger does terrible craft ( mostly ) when we say bad to it the younger starts crying and I get scolded and the vise versa happens the adult says you can do better. Even when the younger lies and and I say the truth, but still the elders will give it to her, saying that she will small you give it to her. For example, it happens for a pen which I bought. Younger will say it’s mine lying and the alders give it to her saying you are big let it go. Always it is irritating😡

But it is done so that the elder learns to give and get the joy of giving whereas the younger develops natural respect towards the elder. In fact always the greater must give to the lesser. This is the law of life. Besides if one gives then creation works towards giving us more and more. So you see the giver is always the long term gainer.

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it.

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
