Sometime back there was an untimely death in the family and the person had lived a miserable life as in alcoholic thus failed in relationships and then when he died suddenly I thought may be this is Divine compassion which gave him a fresh start … is this right in thinking?

In the eleventh chapter of Srimadbhagawat Gita, Sri Krishna grants to Arjuna as a special Grace the grand vision of His Viswaroopa. Then the great epic warrior and friend of Sri Krishna beholds the wonderful vision. The actual vision is, on the one side beautiful beyond measure, full of delight. On the other hand, it is dreadful and strikes terror even in the heart of greatest of warriors. So the terrible aspect is only one side of the Vision, not the whole of it. But the terrible side is put forward now on the battlefield of Kurukshetra because such is the Will of the Lord at that moment.

This Will risen to destroy the outer forms because of which the soul trapped in a body misused for evil purposes suffers. To relieve the soul from such a consciousness that has turned away from the path of progress is indeed a Compassion and a Grace. But few have the faith and the courage to see this way.

Affectionately,

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.

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…
