AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Home » Spirituality » I often visit Pondicherry, but my aspiration feels weak when I’m there. At the Samadhi, I feel blank and don’t feel like sharing my problems to the Mother—it just doesn’t come naturally. I struggle to share everything. I feel like I go there to relax, even though I can easily connect with the Mother because the whole atmosphere is filled with her presence. But when I’m away from Pondicherry, I listen to your talks, read books, and my aspiration feels stronger. I write to the Mother my problems, good and bad days. It’s confusing why I don’t feel more aspiration when I’m in Pondicherry 🙄? Why does this happen?

But this is natural. Aspiration is a thirst for the Divine. But when you are at the ocean of Divine Love you don’t feel thirsty anymore but simply drink the nectar, grow strong and get back to work in the world.

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
