AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Is suffering a must before human transformation🤔? It’s in Savitri somewhere in Pg 449 or 450

Once u come to mother and you surrender to the extent you can, absolute surrender seems only thro grace..why do we still suffer. Then why do place a prayer to mother asking for a relief from a particular problem. All mother devotees feel her immense presence and help always but still go through pain in life?

In the present conditions of the world and of mankind living in a state of ignorance, governed by ego and desires, it is impossible to avoid suffering. Yes the Mother helps Her children but there are conditions for the transformation which is Her main work. She is not here to fulfill our desires but to help us overcome them. As long as there is ignorance, ego and desire suffering is inevitable and even indispensable for man’s progress.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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.

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…
