AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok Da, These days there is so much traffic🚙🛵 and I drive the car from here to there, so many phone calls to attend and people to manage, how to find peace in this chaos ? 

There is a long answer and a short one as well as an ultimate answer.

The long answer is to never take a call including through the blue tooth while driving, except from the immediate family members. Your life is precious to the Divine and His work or even to the people who love and care. The world can wait. Play some soft music inside. Stay in the heart centre with Her Name and establish a permanent settlement of inner Peace and Equanimity.  

Short answer: employ a driver, especially when driving long dustances or through heavy traffic places. It will keep you stress free and active, give employment to someone and be an added help.

The ultimate answer: shift to Pondicherry which combines the best of city and town life. 

PS: The last is not to be taken literally. Find the inner Presence and live in Her Peace and ease.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Chanting a mantra when these thoughts assail and offering them or simply being an indifferent witness will also be helpful….

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.
