AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I want to know the meaning of a dream that I saw . In that dream I was climbing a mountain but there was a huge pit which was like a dark abyss. I had to cross that large pit and then climb the stairs to move forward. After seeing that huge pit i got scared to cross that so i chose another route that had easy stairs to climb the mountain⛰️. Mother and Sri Aurobindo writes a lot of thing about this abyss . Kindly explain some of their writing on this subject.

The pit is the abyss of doubts and fears that makes us feel that the difficulty in reaching the Divine is insurmountable. But the Mother shows us the easier way to climb the mountains using the stair of faith, aspiration, devotion and surrender. 

I am sure I have replied the meaning. Perhaps the email has gone into spam. As to the abyss, it is best not to be interested in it in anyway. It is all that denies and opposes the Divine. Read about the Divine and leave it to the Mother to take care of the Abyss. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
