AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Had a dream today. My friends had compelled me to go for a movie with them. Generally I never go to theatres since I don’t feel interested. That day they compelled me so much that its been years that they are asking me to come, and so atlast I agree to it. We had to climb steps and then climb through the branch of a tree to reach the theatre(!)… Does it have any meaning?💭😴💤🛌

There was one girl before me and she went so fast. Next was me and few more were behind me. When I had to climb through the tree, I noticed there were thorns and it was not easy to jump to the second branch. I see there are lot of thorny bushes down also and the branch also wasn’t strong enough to hold a person to jump onto. I was feeling all the effort was not worth for just watching a movie but I wasn’t afraid, i was certain and thinking that Mother will take care even if I had to fall. Then I decided to jump onto the wall beside but didn’t notice it had iron nails. I step onto it, nails prick on the feet but jump down from the wall and then am safely outside the building. I remove the nails, there was not much pain through my feet were full of blood. There i was sitting and was angry to myself that I agreed to the movie and this thought popped up: “maybe I was not meant for it, desires will end up in pain and is worthless..and Mother wanted to show me this” and then I woke up..

It has exactly the meaning that you have intuitively understood. Movie here means entering the world of vanity, glamour, artificiality, pleasure, attractive but false. The thorns are the path and the price one pays for it. Good you stepped out and followed your intuition rather than the advice of others.

Affectionately,

Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time if i make a promise to myself that i will not ask unnecessary things and face difficulties myself seems not the right thing to do. I feel my relationship with Mother is the most valued thing in my life so how do i make it pure.

Surely we can ask the Divine Mother for what we need. Only our relationship should not be confined to that. One should learn to give, to give out of joy, something of oneself, work, actions, money, something for Her Purpose in …

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. 🌿🕊️[…]

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
