AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes the old anger toward someone, old natures and other suppressed elements erupt and put me in trouble and suffering.ย In Yogic Life, how to control and overcome this subconscious part? Please guide, along with the reference books to follow. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒพ

When old movements such as anger, lust, etc., come up, as they invariably do from the subconscient till the final purification, one has to keep offering them to the Divine Mother rather than expressing them. Besides, one has to work towards establishing a firm basis of Peace and equanimity in the mind, vital and body so that the consciousness no longer allows these seeds to sprout again. Thirdly, try to consciously cultivate the opposite qualities, such as generosity, kindness, wideness, love, etc., to replace the anger. Finally, not to justify it when they rise up but to look into oneself to see what parts and inner movements support this, for instance, egoism, wants, desires, etc., and work towards eliminating them from the nature.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

After all the entire animal world is maintained by the balance between the force of rajas and ..

I had a dark, unsettling dream where I was traveling through dense woods, attacked by a hostile woman, and surrounded by stampeding, giant beast-like creatures. Amid this ominous gloomโ€”broken only by a brief glimpse of the rising morning star heralding dawnโ€”I found myself fiercely shielding an innocent young boy from these crude, predatory giants who had shapeshifted into ordinary men. ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ›ก๏ธโญ[…]

The dream is once again indicative of certain inner movements. The child is your soul and the dense forest is the lower vital regions strongly under the influence of dark subconscious forces. The horse is your life energy, the vital being struggling to rescue the child. Meeting these giants in human forms is again the deceptive forces of …

In corporate, I meet some people who are Cunning and envious. They smile in front of you, but you know they are jealous of you and are internally plotting to go over you. They are so ingenuine and fake, no matter how much you are honestly have goodwill for them. ๐Ÿข๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿชท[…]

The first thing to do is to ignore all that does not concern us and the work. One should be completely indifferent to what people are or do, let alone what they may be thinking and feeling. By letting our mind enter into thoughts about what they are or might be thinking, we get unwittingly identified with them. For there is in us …
