Difficult situations in life should make one stronger, but it has happened the opposite in my case. I have become more fearful after facing those difficulties of the past.

Yes some people react with fear and once fear sets in it attracts what is feared creating thereby a vicious cycle.

The solution is to increase faith and trust in yourself, in destiny and in the Divine. The medicine of course has to be as advised by the physician.

I am a bit scared and hesitant to take refuge in the Divine because I feel that the Divine would put me in more difficult situations if I take refuge in Him, as compared to, if I don’t take refuge in Him?

Who else should one then take refuge in? One’s limited intellect? oversensitive vital?? Why would the Divine put anyone into difficulties? There are plenty of reasons for having difficulties. The Divine is certainly not one of them. In fact, He is there to remove them.

Affectionately,

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
