AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Often when I go into solitude for meditationšŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldn’t see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple — it was me walking around some ā€œschoolā€ if it can even be called thatā€ with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I haven’t felt that way since, and I still don’t know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?

Sometimes a state of outer crisis, an illness for instance, open an inner door of help. A withdrawl from the waking state is anyways conducive to an awakening into the inner worlds some of which, as this one, are far more beautiful than we can imagine. This was possibly the subtle physical world where you entered. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alokda, I have been reflecting on the following passage from The Synthesis of Yoga: “But neither is that order or the execution of the universal will altogether effected by mechanical Law, but by powers and forces of which for human life at least human will, aspiration and faith are not among the least important.” (page-566-567) šŸ“–šŸ˜ŠšŸ™šŸ»šŸŖ·[…]

This is absolutely correct understanding. Very simply putĀ  the Divine Will is not a mechanical determinism but a living conscious process. It will fulfil itself is the first most important fact. But this fulfilment is not through an arbitrary disregarding of all other …

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother often refer to the Bible, so is Christ considered an Avatar like Krishna? If so, why doesn’t He speak of Rebirth? Many sincere Christians believe Christ is the sole path to salvation attainable in just one lifetime. āœļøšŸ¦ššŸ˜ŠšŸ™šŸ»šŸŖ·[…]

The stories recounted in the Scriptures are generally symbolic. Most interpreters take them literally and then convert it into irrefutable dogmas that are based on personal beliefs. But while beliefs may be comforting they …
