One night, I had a dream where some people were shooting at me, and the bullets were hitting me. I was crying a lotš. 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.

I know there are more direct inner paths that lead to the Divine Mother than ritualistic worship and ceremonial actsābut 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 pathš³? 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 Mountaināfully aware of the soulās inability to perceive its subtle natureātook 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]

Sri Aurobindo has given commentaries on only a few Upanishads and his insights are much profound and significant compared to any of the traditional commentaries.

Today I had a dream that there were two cows, one brown and one white, which were eating plants at my uncle’s house. I saw this from my house and was going to drive them out. Just then, my other uncle’s son came and said it was very dangerous as they had harmed our grandmother when she tried to get them out. I suggested that we both try together. So, we went towards them and saw that the white cow transformed into a very bright and large man who was very tall and heavy. I told my uncle’s son to hit it on the head, but he couldn’t. He started to hit it, and when the man saw me, I had something in my hand, and I hit him with it. He started chasing me, and I ran away from there. What does this dream signifyš¤?
Cows are always good. They are forces of light, the white is some aspect of Her Light while the grey is Light mixed with the

here are plenty of writings and talks on this subject available on Auromaa. But in brief, the most important thing is to truly want it,
I am a 70-year-old religious man and I regularly watch and read your talks and answers. I donāt know why, but I find all your responses related to rituals and worship very rigid. According to you, these things donāt hold much importance, perhaps because they are not emphasized in your favorite text, the Gita. Step out of your air-conditioned drawing room and comfortable environmentāonly then will you understand the importance of worship and rituals, which are for common people who struggle daily even for basic needsš³.
