AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I was in a covered rooftop kind of place gap between the stairs and the door to the roof, but there was no door, only a big window above the staircase, and I was with someone. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈπŸŒƒπŸ’€πŸΆ[…]

A big black dog came and it started barking at me. It starts to run at high speed all around and I hide behind the person, but then they are less scared but scared. It makes a weird face with all teeth out,Β like this shape again and again, with all teeth clenched and not coming closer. It takes a step and then returns, but it doesn’t stop barking.

Then another dog on the roof from the balcony peeks, looks at me. I pleaded to protect me and that dog barked at the fierce black dog, but he was not budging. While running, I ran into the wall and fell on my legs above the ground with my back. But I didn’t fall in the dream.

That dog is fuming and running around and it bites me while running, just a scratch on my leg, but it starts to hurt badly. And my friend says we’ll get it treated and said, ‘Let’s go. Just act normal, or the people at the gate will know.’ The person was talking about the hostel gate. And I woke up from pain in my leg where it bit on a point in mid leg.

The black dog is falsehood, while the dog that came to protect is faith. The rooftop that is locked is the mind. The dream indicates that as long as the mind doesn’t open to the Light and admit the workings of the Grace due to doubt, you will remain vulnerable to attacks from these forces that hurt and harm. What is needed is a leap of faith.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I saw your recent video, where you gave the example of Champaklal ji, who walked out on listening to the Bhajans of Gods. I myself enjoy devotional music a lot. Do I need to stop listening to it as a part of Yoga? πŸ•‰οΈπŸŽΆπŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ·

What was being refered to are the stock and standard Bhajans which hardly fall into the true category. But there are beautiful soul-uplifting bhajans with equally beautiful music that flows from the depths which is even helpful at one stage of sadhana, especially in the preliminary stages. An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

Dada, I watched the Movie Dhurandhar (Part 1 & 2). The struggle of the main character felt like a present-day Arjuna. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Is there any Spiritual Lesson we can take from it? πŸΉπŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŽžοΈπŸŒ»πŸŽ¬

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
