AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had a dream which is bugging me๐Ÿ˜ฃ. 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

Alok da, how much is the body linked to the development of the Will? Do those people in professions which involve a thorough exertion of their hands and limbs in tune with the head (like craftsmen, painters, musicians, dancers, military men, chefs, and even agricultural labourers) have a scope for much development of the Will over those who don’t and are much more in the head(like software engineers, bankers, and students who spend hours in front of dense books reading)? ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿชท[…]

Those who work with hands or eye or mouth (speech) or brain develop more consciousness in those organs. It is not just the external instruments that develop by use but even more so, the consciousness in these organs that develops.ย 

Similarly with the will. It develops if we exercise it. When we do not give up something, be it an effort to understand, or to work with the hands or simply make an effort to be regular and punctual builds the will. One…

Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri Krishna himself advocates. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak mainly of Aspiration, opening to the Divine, inner remembrance and offering leading to surrender. In fact these methods give quicker …

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, โ€œ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light.

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility. But to bring it out we are provided within us the challenge, the opposition to the possibility that we must conquer. Take for instance someone meant to realise true love will find in his life surrounded by some of the ..
