AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da, since it’s festival time the atmosphere is full of vital energies and all day I have to meet people and socialise, the days I don’t meet many and in my routine I can concentrate and so my dreams too are clear and symbolic but these days due to the situation all is spoil and dreams are of subconscious chaos, past memories or I don’t remember, so can you advise what to do? Though since more than a month every nite as I sleep off Mother’s Savitri commentaries with Sunil da’s music is on only but other than that what can I do🤔?

Yes, socialization is almost like a disease that is difficult to get out of the system once it settles as a default program of life. I understand the milieu wherein it is difficult to completely avoid though one can try to minimize it. I suppose the best thing is to practice inner equanimity and keep remembering Her inwardly.  Here is a letter of Sri Aurobindo on the subject that I have found very useful for myself. 

‘When one is living in the world, one cannot do as in an Asram— one has to mix with others and keep up outwardly at least ordinary relations with others. The important thing is to keep the inner consciousness open to the Divine and grow in it. As one does that, more or less rapidly according to the inner intensity of the sadhana, the attitude towards others will change. All will be seen more and more in the Divine and the feeling, action, etc. will more and more be determined, not by the old external reactions, but by the growing consciousness within you.’

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The fear and anxiety are due to habit. They have been kind of inherited. What is needed is growing faith and complete surrender. These phases come to everybody when work gets disrupted. One has to simply wait for them to pass off. They are like storms. When the storm arises then one does not move outside but stays inside…
