AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please explain this dream: A bus left from our house for a trip in which my brother, sister and maternal relatives were travelling with great fun. Then, in between, we stopped for tea and the driver got down. 💭🚍🫨🌼[…]

I asked whether the bus was going well or not. I don’t know. I just took out my mobile and started writing 20 on the last two digits of the contact number. Then I went to the toilet and came back. Then I ate food.

My younger brother was cursing me. I said, he is not able to see himself. His sister was sitting behind him. Then my maternal grandfather, mother and father also came. The bus left. I thought I would get on the bus, but I didn’t know from where a passenger came in the bus. Then they left me behind. Then I ran behind and tried to stop him. Then my mother said there was no space in it. Then I got very angry. I started crying. Then I turned back and started going. Then I thought, what is the point of getting angry? Then that place turned into a beautiful mountain. Then the sun started rising. Then it passed over me with great speed. As the sun rose, it started shining in white light. Then I started feeling happy. Then it was morning. Then one of my cousins was left. So he came and we happily went to the main road. Or you start waiting for the vehicle, thinking that when the vehicle arrives, you will go where your family members have gone for a trip!!

Again, a dream indicating a breakup with your past in the middle of your life’s journey and the beginning of a new journey on the sunlit path with the promise of the victory. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

These activities become a play there just as the enactment of Rama Ravana yuddh or Durga Mahishasura yuddh when depicted in a dance form becomes a beautiful, delightful sight to watch. The drama is enacted but there is …

Alok Da, after studying The Life Divine, I am still seeking clarity on how Sri Aurobindo frames extreme real-world suffering, such as the brutal violation of an innocent child. 🌏😥🙏🏻🥀[…]

You have understood it correctly. We need to also understand that our vision is very limited. The pains of the caterpillar are the labour pangs of a butterfly. Though frankly, rape of a grown up girl is much much worse. A child experience pain and horror whereas a girl experiences along with pain and horror, abject shame. The more …
