AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had a dream which is bugging me😣. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, there was this big fuzzy heavy feeling moving all around the body giving me warm chills, making me think I’ll be unconscious. Maybe it’s because of that. But I feel very unsettled because of the beggars, can you explain the below dream:

I had a dream that I was going to Jodhpur with my sister coz I had landed a job and I’m searching for a home with dangling lights where my friend lives. But as I’m about to reach suddenly a Sikh person isn’t letting me go. My brother escapes but that man wouldn’t let me go and then I finally go past him but then a lady beggar comes in my way and she asks for money but I shout at her a lot. Then she kind of curses me like when you need me ,I won’t be here to help. If something happens to your heart , I won’t come for you and I’m the only one in this area. But then I say sorry to her coz I felt a feeling of uneasiness letting her stay angry. I said sorry coz I was scared she won’t come if I need her.

Then as I go towards my friends home, iit starts to rain and it is beautiful with a small stream and a big garden thet leads to his home. Then I join work and I don’t like it at all. And there I see an old face from my high school days , a girl and I avoid her. And I promise myself I’ll find myself a home to stay after 3 days max. And then I woke up.

The dream indicates an inner shift taking place within you in which certain parts of nature are helping (sister) as well as certain other people and forces (friend). But there are other forces from outside that are trying to obstruct this inner shift. The turbanned person is doubt and the beggar woman is various needs and desires. In this process you are looking for a stable ground to launch the next phase of your journey. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

As you can yourself see it is a play of ambition and desires. The more you press towards it, the more it will frustrate.

Your intuitive sense about it is quite correct.

You write, ‘The Divine has allowed a world of Ignorance to operate according to its own lower laws, while secretly driving the evolutionary movement toward greater manifestation of consciousness.’ 

Yes, we may add that a world of ignorance is the inevitable consequence of involution. Involution implies that the entire Truth, Knowledge, Consciousness, Power, Ananda of the Divine enters into a state of complete self oblivion just as a tree is involved completely in a seed. The subsequent emergence of the tree from a seed is the story of…
