AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mother-in-law interferes in everything in our lives, to the extent that she will change things in my room. My husband being a mamma’s boy does not seem to have a problem with this. He has to report everything to her, I do not like this. How can I manage this problem? as every time I end up fighting with him and always she continues to do what she does.

There is a tact and an art in this. You need to talk to your husband in a manner that he understands your point.

Instead of confronting you can explain that you would like to take care of things but for this to happen there is a need to allow you the needed freedom. It should not come across as anger towards his mother but as part of care. You can tell him that you understand his mother’s love which is natural and do not wish to come in the way of her love.

All that you need is that now that you have come that you would naturally like to be fully involved in his care, especially in things like organising your room. I am sure with patience and goodwill there will be harmony and happiness rather than anger and frustration.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My Mother has had a very tough life after marriage and she was tortured physically and mentally by her husband. She does not believe in Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

The fits would of course need to be shown to a physician to find out any underlying cause and administer specific treatment. See if anything triggers these neck movements such as particular light or television near her….

Hello Sir. I met a person 2 years ago. We didn’t talk personally, yet there was some exchange of feelings in silence. I didn’t see him for more than 6 months and also don’t know anything about him. When mind was vexed, I saw the mother’s message that ‘Love the Divine alone’. 💗🌷[…]

What you experiencing is not love but a kind of obsession wherein the image of the person is coming to the mind again and again. Love is something different. It is the urge to give oneself, to care, to do something for the person. It is not want but giving that is the hallmark of love.

Thinking about someone or loving someone is not going against The Mother. The Mother does not want that we don’t love anyone. It is just that human love is based so much and so often on the ego that very soon it turns…

During my weekly Pilates reformer sessions, I have experienced intense episodes of deja vu and past-life intimations, where time and space seem to slide open. 🌌🙏🏻[…]

What you seemed to have is not so much a past life experience but rather an entry into another dimension of existence due to the intense exercise. It is another Time Space continuum you seem to have entered belonging to another plane of existence. It shows an innate ability for your consciousness to project out of the body and enter …
