A mental solution to a conflict between two or more people will always be shaky and may become the cause of new problems, right? Seeking a mental solution is energy-consuming because we want to understand, and in order to understand, we can lose sleep. We think about it all the time! The difficulties encounter, the challenges are like goads. We go from involution to evolution⛵.

It is not just a question of consuming Time and Energy. It is a question of qualitative difference between the mental consciousness and the spiritual. The mental consciousness is a partial knowledge and hence it is termed as ignorance from the spiritual perspective. It scans the surface, sees one or at most few sides of a problem. Its vision is limited to the immediate narrow spectrum of Time and Space. Even when it tries to project into the future It cannot take into account the unexpected unknown forces that may come into play.

Spiritual intuition, on the other hand acts in a more comprehensive way. It has an access to those elements which the analytical mind dependent heavily upon the present organization of the material senses cannot. The principle behind is that there are higher and greater ranges of consciousness than the mind’s and spiritual life, where it is not restricted to inner peace, also activates these higher possibilities latent in everyone. Of course an inner calm and peace itself allows the mind to see better. But more than that, it opens the mind to a higher intuition and that is the real advantage.

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. 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…
