AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why do people say that money can’t buy happiness or peace? With money, we can buy branded things that bring joy. We can fulfill parents’ dreams and our own. We can afford all the material comforts we desire, and these things make us feel happy and content. If we want to visit the Ashram, we can easily go, and that gives us peace. Money gives us the freedom to travel the world, which also brings happiness and peace. So, doesn’t money actually make it easier to experience these things🙄?

Of course if buying branded cloth, traveling around the world, fulfilling parent’s dreams and material comforts is all that one seeks then surely money may

This is a very serious question. When I started getting connected to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo a year back , listening your talks, going to Delhi ashram, reading the books, I used to feel so close to them, my aspiration was high, I used to be conscious of them, Sincere in my works and offerings.But now when I have spent more than a year in Delhi and college, specially giving alot energy to my relationship, as I took lots of ups and downs, indulging in music societies, and hence getting into all the lower activities like spending time with people with ordinary life and lower tendencies. I did this mistake for a very long time. I’m in my hometown for diwali holidays, far away from everything, everyone. When I sit alone and try to feel her presence and introspect. I see that the flame is not the same, the spark has gone, although I know that I’m for her, I have to live for her, but certainly my aspiration is not the same. I feel myself far from her. The wanting, the curiosity, the questioning mind, the will to grow, everything has come to a static state. I know you can understand, please help me, what can I do, I don’t want to live an ordinary life, I want to live for her, only for her, her ,her🙏. 

These ups and downs come to everyone. One has to persist and persevere through it all refusing to give up. One has to keep learning

I don’t quite understand the concept of doing vrats. Many women around me observe fasts on Mondays, Thursdays, and other specific days. These fasts are usually done with a particular intention—like, “I’ll fast for 5 Mondays, please help my husband get a job.” And surprisingly, after completing the 5 Mondays, their wish often comes true. This strengthens their belief that the fasting made it happen, and then they start encouraging others to do it too🙄.

People say and do all kinds of things for fulfilling their wishes. When things happen the way they wanted, they believe in it more, and

I heard in your talks that the psychic being, after physical death on earth, and shedding off the vital and mental sheaths, goes to the psychic world, where it is put to psychic sleep by the world Mother. Kindly tell me if that sleep is unconscious, semi-conscious, or fully conscious for the psychic being🌟? And also, is that sleep Blissful for the psychic being?

It is a blissful state of peaceful unconsciousness, a deep sleep from which you wake up forgetting all the past except what is bare essential.

Last night, I had many dreams, of which I remember two. One was a sexual dream, and the other was a dream where I went to a village to do divine work. There, a dog and a wild animal stood in front of me, but they couldn’t harm me. As I went further, the villagers told me, ‘How did you manage to escape from them? They have killed 130 people so far.’ Then I thought to myself, ‘You don’t know whose work I’ve come to do.’ After that, I was returning home after doing the divine work, and again, those same animals appeared in front of me, trying to bite me, and then the dream ended. Does this have any meaning🤔?

These are the difficulties coming on the path when we undertake the Divine Work. Generally dogs are not harmful creatures but some do represent agents

I go from top to bottom I was getting Down, like in a basement place, it was all maroon colour and had rooms ..chatted with some servants there, our neighbours son who is very dear to us had comes into his new home and he came out to meet me. This house was largely empty as i got down the inner room. As I am finding my way I realise the servants were over smart people. As I got down there are shoes out there in a untidy manner. I took a black pair of shoes and told the servants it’s my sister and we have exchanged and there is a red pair up which is mine I have left for her but servant had to check with the app on her phone. First it did not work so she doubted me as if I was steeling it…I told her check again properly. Then I showed her the black heel shoes, this time the app worked so I gave her a firing as you should do your work properly. A Wedding was going in background. Can you please explain this dream🙄?

The maroon basement is the subconscient mind and the servants are possibly the senses whose action and working is being organised by the higher intelligence

Dear Alok da, what is ‘seeing’ the Divine☀️ everywhere and in everything? Especially when we are not yet equipped.To experience or realize it, as a first step, how to practice the idea consciously? Is it like remembering that Mother is in all and trying not to think or feel about something or someone as high or low?

Seeing here means a mental seeing through thought, imagination and idea that the Mother is everywhere, in everyone and everything. Later, as this idea grows
