AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada, please tell if the following is a sign that he is an obstacle to the path of Yoga? Why does it happen every time I am being approached by my romantic partner close enough with the intention of lovemaking or simply touching or being simply romantic, I feel a strong response of blackout (momentary loss of consciousness) and feel withdrawn with respect to consciousness. πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘©πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

It is not because he or anybody is an obstacle. All obstacles are within us. Normally, our physical body and biology are hardwired to respond to physical touches from the other gender in certain ways, especially when the mind has accepted the person as a partner. However, there are two conditions in which the physical body would not respond to the touch or experience a blanking out. First is because the very body shrinks at close physical contact and does not feel comfortable with the actual physical intimacy. There is no need to think much about it, especially if you are not married or are not thinking of marrying him. You could then take it as a natural indication of a lack of affinity in the physical. The body, too, has its own unique affinities and responds readily to them. So the description of the response suggests that there is possibly a lack of physical affinity at the physical level. It is not necessarily something bad; rather could also be, as I mentioned in my previous letter, the sign of a more evolved inner being that does not respond to animal vibrations.Β 

The second reason could be a flooding by too many sensations and emotions that you are unable to handle, resulting in a blackout. In any case, it does not indicate any general incompatibility with the person but only a lack of response in the physical, which can be due to very different reasons. If the boy is fine with it and the two of you feel otherwise comfortable and happy with each other, especially if your core aspiration is similar, then there is no basic incompatibility.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

So, I’ve been working on figuring out how to carry out lake restoration of Dal Lake using metagenomics, and I feel like it’s very expensive, interesting, but it’s not interesting to me. Sir says it’ll be a novel work and I tried to read it. But I’m not intrigued or feel it apart from the fact that it is a good chance to see what’s beneath the surface. 🚣🏼😐

To start with whoever wants to send you to Dal lake does not know the ground situation there. Asked him if he has visited Srinagar and when? Is he taking guarantee for your safety? It is not normal to send a research student all the way up there to do a study, even if it be interesting. The purpose of PhD is primarily to…

Dearest Alok Da, a question concerning the lines in Savitri. These lines describe Death’s appearance: “Half-seen in clouds appeared a sombre face; Night’s dusk tiara was his matted hair, The ashes of the pyre his forehead’s sign.” (pg.595) – Is this a description of Lord Shiva? Is it Lord Shiva, or even Lord Yama, who is appearing as Death? Because matted hair and ashes on the forehead are worn by Lord Shiva and Lord Yama. πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒΌ

A figure motionless, a shadow vague,
Girt with the terrors of his secret sword….

I had some suspicions regarding Advaita Vedanta and wanted to clear that up. The philosophy or the sect of Advaita Vedanta seems to be quite a problematic philosophical school, sometimes even a tool of the Asura. Or at least an Asura used by the divine to utterly break the old moulds of Bharat. πŸ”₯[…]

I very much share your insight. Adwait Vedanta, for that matter all the different schools of Vedanta err by taking one particular realisation to be the ultimate. In doing so they almost unwittingly discredit or discard other equally important and powerful realisations that are needed to complete the picture. It leaves many unanswered …
