AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have observed very often that people who have already experienced certain mishaps and suffering tend to forget when someone else goes through the same pain. Instead of relating to others and condoling them, they start giving advice. While one sees others in pain😫, why does one forget his own sufferings?

Generally this does not happen. Those who go through suffering usually develop an empathy. They do give advices based on what they have learnt though they forget that the way each one deals with the same problem depends upon each one’s unique constitution and past experiences. Each has to learn their own way and advices, even though well meaning, often do not help. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Kindly suggest some books which will facilitate understanding original Savitri. 📚📖

here are quite a few commentaries on Savitri. 

Topmost of course is About Savitri which provides the readers The Mother’s comments on Savitri passages along with paintings by Ms Huta.

Then there are the commentaries by MP Pandit. There is also a recently published 8 volume line by line commentary by me. Both are available at SABDA. You can chose as you like. 

You can also ask any specific queries as they arise through this email….

I dreamt of some crows on a tree, some in the open sky. 1st I liked their black color (black beauty). Then I tried to touch them but didn’t. They flew from my very close to me.

The crow generally symbolise practical cleverness though sometimes they are believed to be communicating mediums between the ancestors and the living. May be they came to bless you and give the gift of cleverness.

I just have one last question related to psychosis. Is it worth trying to analyze the meaning of the experiences that I had during psychosis (whatever I remember)? Or should I just forget them like a bad dream? For years I have been trying to find answers; maybe there are none. 🕊️🙏🏼

There is always a meaning or rather a reflection of certain inner states. But it is difficult to find it out either by oneself or by the average psychiatrist. If one can find the meaning it is good. But the medicines should not be discontinued….
