AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My grandmother is a very pessimistic and depressive person. And I noticed that relating tends to attract some accidents and bad luck in my life. She always says things like “I don’t wanna live”. But because she is so alone in life I feel a certain sense of guilt if I don’t relate to her and speak with her more often. Am I a heartless person if I choose not to sympathize with her self-pity and thus stay away😥?

Each one is responsible for what they do, the attitudes they take and the inevitable consequences they have to go through. No one can undo the web of Fate that people have woven for themselves through their actions and attitudes. By trying to sympathise you will not be of any help, if anything you will only reinforce the tendency since it is attracting attention. Guilt is obviously out of question. If you feel moved within you can tell her that negative thoughts do not help, only increase the chances of their occurrence. She is unlikely to listen or change in which case the best help is to ignore this part prone to depression and relate with the good things in her. If anything this is more likely to help than sympathising with the lamentations. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack. Poets like Keats have a lyrical sweetness and beauty but lack vital power and raw force, which a poet like Browning has. 📜✒️😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Today evening while meditating on mother’s organ music on fairy dance, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision it is a number 349 what does it’s means sir.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
