AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My dealing assistantโ€™s brother-in-law has been very ill for 3 weeks. He is suffering from kidney cancer and a blockage in the arteries. He is nearly 45 years old and has 2 daughters (ages 16 and 14). ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ[…]

Previously doctors said that they would operate and his health will become better but his health is deteriorating day by day and now according to doctors he is so critical that doctors say that he can die on death bed. Can we help him in any way? Can prayer save him?

Oh, I see. It is indeed a difficult time for him and his family. Yes, one must pray. Whether prayer will save him or not cannot be said, as there are many complex factors determining the destiny. Besides, praying for him and he himself praying are two different things. Nevertheless, one must pray even if the inevitable happens. Prayers provide a buffer zone, even a kind of protection, an easing out and blunting of the suffering and a silent inner support to all who are attached and connected. It helps to bear the burden of the ‘inevitable’ and makes certain painful inevitable transitions smoother.ย 

Adding my prayers for the person working with you.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da, You get many questions over here regarding dreams. I am always bit perplexed on the question whether one should even bother with them and be conscious of them and note them down or utterly not bother and be ignorant of them? What’s their place in practice of this yoga? I remember reading a little bit of the western psychological theory about dreams activating those contents which we were avoiding and should be doing consciously in our wakeful life, for example there was this case of a woman who was continuously dreaming of a woman who was a living a wandering adventurous life but she in her actual life was living a life of infantile dependence on her parents and not having the adventurous courage of launching herself into the uncertain challenges of life. How true is this observation?

Dreams are a large chunk of our life given the time we spend in dreaming. Hence a study of dreams, and eventually becoming conscious of them and mastering them is surely something gained and won back from the realms of the unconscious…
