What is the spiritual meaning of a dream where one is handed a talking infant who reveals past and future truths, only to realize the child belongs to a cousin while the dreamer’s own infant self is being hidden away? 🤰👶🔮✨

And all of a sudden, I realised that the baby was not mine but my cousin’s. And I saw my baby, who looked exactly like me when I was an infant and it seemed they were hiding me from everyone. Could you please tell me what the meaning of this dream might be?

The dream seems to be stemming from some subconscious desires and fears in the past related to parents, which continues to linger in the present and hence influences the future.

Offer the baby and the dream to the Mother and free yourself from the fears by placing your entire trust in Her.

Affectionately,

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice. And in the relation to quite detailed descriptions of processes, with a certain order and division, we may see this in Sri Aurobindo’s writing on the Sapta Chatusthaya, and in the Mother’s sometimes very simple quotes on simply remaining open to her. 📖🙏🏻[…]

The Saptachatustya described in the Records of Yoga is the program given to Sri Aurobindo as part of his personal sadhana.

Its general version applicable for every sadhaka has been described in The Synthesis of Yoga in the book on the yoga of self-perfection…

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem.

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
