AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

As I look within me, there is one part which is luminous, wants the Divine and at the same time there is this another dark part which is creating so much trouble. Sometimes thoughts linger on desires and ambition and I consciously pull them back; sometimes past wrong tendencies come up. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Even though I reject it, but after a point I succumb to it even though I know it is wrong, seems like lower nature just takes over, which makes me feel so bad. Also, sometimes guilt tries to take over me because of these relapses. As far as I know seems like it is my vital, which is not yet converted and acting as an obstacle in the sadhana.

This division in my being is the root of all obstacles on the path; it is so much disturbing and disheartening to me. It makes me feel that I am not able to be faithful and sincere towards Mother and Sri Aurobindo. These falls make me realize how limited our efforts are; ultimately, it is the Mother’s Grace which can free me from all this, so I am praying to the Mother to mend this division in my being. Dada, please guide me on how to navigate through this passage.

This division is in everybody. It is by sadhana that one becomes one-pointed. It takes long time. Faith, sincerity, aspiration and surrender hastens the process. Depression, guilt, doubts, frustration make the process more complicated and longer. 

Open to the Mother and call Her Name inwardly. Persevere and endure with faith. All will change in due course of Time.

Affectionately 

Alok Da

Alok da, You get many questions over here regarding dreams. I am always bit perplexed on the question whether one should even bother with them and be conscious of them and note them down or utterly not bother and be ignorant of them? What’s their place in practice of this yoga? I remember reading a little bit of the western psychological theory about dreams activating those contents which we were avoiding and should be doing consciously in our wakeful life, for example there was this case of a woman who was continuously dreaming of a woman who was a living a wandering adventurous life but she in her actual life was living a life of infantile dependence on her parents and not having the adventurous courage of launching herself into the uncertain challenges of life. How true is this observation?

Dreams are a large chunk of our life given the time we spend in dreaming. Hence a study of dreams, and eventually becoming conscious of them and mastering them is surely something gained and won back from the realms of the unconscious…
