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

I thought I had changed my past impure self a little bit; I thought I had become a little better human… but again, something happened and I feel I failed more miserably than before…. I have not changed at all…. I think I am worse… It is heartbreaking to know that I am just the same person as before…. 🌱🌅🙏🏻

The fact that you want to change is itself a sign that you have changed! This is how the change takes place. In the beginning we act almost unconsciously without even feeling the need for change. True progress begins when we become aware that we need to change. Otherwise almost everyone is busy finding faults with others which is such a waste of energy and effort. Good or bad we cannot change others. The only person we need to change is …

I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]

Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the Divine Will. Bhishma was quite selfless renouncing the throne and serving as a shield to the throne of Hastinapur defending the king regardless of who he was. But he was acting in opposition to the Divine Will. Self giving means to live for the Divine, to make the Divine Service the very motive of all our actions. It means to direct our thoughts to the Divine, to think of the Divine instead of the thousand useless things. With …

Could you help me understand the following pad from Tulsidas’s Vinay Patrika? I am not entirely sure what he is really talking about. I think he is distinguishing between ordinary life and spiritual life, and it seems related to my previous question.

Here, Tulsidas ji is speaking about how true bhakti is not easy to practice. Many speak about it but very few can practice it.

He then goes on to give two examples to show that not all can do everything. One should have the right temperament for it. Thus, a fish can easily swim through a river and cross it…
