I have a question on one of the verses of Mundaka upanishads 11) But they who in the forest follow after faith and self-discipline, calm and full of knowledge, living upon alms, cast from them the dust of their passions, and through the gate of the Sun they pass on there where is the Immortal, the Spirit, the Self undecaying and imperishable.

Had several dreams in which I was elected as the prime minister. Certainly, it is not a path I have chosen, nor am I interested in politics. What could possibly be the significance of these dreams🫤?

What I perceive about my mother asking for money is to have total control and total possession of my money so as to feel secure herself- which is also a means to prove my sincerity and submission as a child towards her 😠 [conti]
Yes i can understand and the more you will concede to her, the more she will demand because greed can never be satisfied and fears
Suhrdam sarva-bhutanam (Gita 5-29) meaning the benignant friend of all creatures. Kindly put some words into it🤔.

It will be of great help to me, Our Kuldevta is Shiva but I am more drawn towards Shakti – mainly in her form as Gauri and to some extent in her form as Durga. Shiva has many forms – benevolent as well as fierce so I worship him in his gracious form of Umapati – the householder as in this form I can worship both Shiva & Shakti with their child Ganesha. 🙏 [conti]
Unwavering faith in the Divine Mother (in whatever form you may feel drawn towards) is the single most important condition that takes care of the
One night, I had a dream where some people were shooting at me, and the bullets were hitting me. I was crying a lot😭. Then a friend came, and I told him to take me to the hospital, but he was wasting time on the way. I was shouting to take me quickly. Then I called out to my Guru, asking him to take me into his refuge. From above, a voice came with his picture, saying that this is not the path of liberation but the path of transformation. Then my friend, while wasting time, took me to the hospital. The doctor said that there was no blood, only marks. Please explain this dream.

“Palestine is to be colonised by a Jewish immigration from Europe and to be administered by a High Commissioner in the interests — but against the will — of all its races.” Please explain this?🤔

If someone expresses love and care in a dream, but in real life they’re unable to do so for some reason, is it just the mind creating it, or could there be some truth behind it🙂?

I know there are more direct inner paths that lead to the Divine Mother than ritualistic worship and ceremonial acts—but these are only possible through complete surrender and devotion. In today’s age, when people are steeped in ignorance, ego, and desire, how many can realistically walk such a path😳? Until such individuals awaken full faith and surrender, what should they do to escape their suffering? Many of their problems and afflictions are beyond human effort to resolve. Here, the scriptures guide us. From the study of various authentic texts, it appears that the Daughter of the Mountain—fully aware of the soul’s inability to perceive its subtle nature—took form in various manifestations for the welfare of the three worlds and to liberate the Earth from the weight of sin. This is the firm belief of those who tread the path of spiritual discipline under the protection and guidance of sacred scripture. [conti]

Bhaiya, in the passage from Luminous Words it is written-“the Overmind is far below the true Divine”. Sri Krishna is the Overmind Godhead so does it mean that He is far below the true Divine? What is the difference between Overmind plane and the plane of true Divine? In which plane does true Divine dwell🤨?
