Last night, I had many dreams, of which I remember two. One was a sexual dream, and the other was a dream where I went to a village to do divine work. There, a dog and a wild animal stood in front of me, but they couldn’t harm me. As I went further, the villagers told me, ‘How did you manage to escape from them? They have killed 130 people so far.’ Then I thought to myself, ‘You donāt know whose work Iāve come to do.’ After that, I was returning home after doing the divine work, and again, those same animals appeared in front of me, trying to bite me, and then the dream ended. Does this have any meaningš¤?
These are the difficulties coming on the path when we undertake the Divine Work. Generally dogs are not harmful creatures but some do represent agents
I go from top to bottom I was getting Down, like in a basement place, it was all maroon colour and had rooms ..chatted with some servants there, our neighbours son who is very dear to us had comes into his new home and he came out to meet me. This house was largely empty as i got down the inner room. As I am finding my way I realise the servants were over smart people. As I got down there are shoes out there in a untidy manner. I took a black pair of shoes and told the servantsĀ itās my sister and we have exchangedĀ and there is a red pair up which is mine I have left for her but servant had to check with the app on her phone. First it did not work so she doubted me as if I was steeling itā¦I told her check again properly. Then I showed her the black heel shoes, this time the app worked so I gave her a firing as you should do your work properly. A Wedding was going in background. Can you please explain this dreamš?
The maroon basement is the subconscient mind and the servants are possibly the senses whose action and working is being organised by the higher intelligence

Dear Alok da, what is ‘seeing’ the Divineāļø everywhere and in everything? Especially when we are not yet equipped.To experience or realize it, as a first step, how to practice the idea consciously?

Is khandava daha parva basically about the clearing of the forests in the ancient times to make a way for the cities and civilized life? Agni desires to devour all the creatures and animals and Sri Krishna and Arjuna fullfill his desire without any mercy in slaying the animals in their warrior like frenzy and they later build Indraprastha over it, Even Ramayana too describes the dreary forests in all their gory and grim details, are the epics very much entangled in those times where clearing vast swathes of forests is a necessity for civilized lifeš¤?
But how else has any of the city developed? Even the place we are sitting and the cellphone on which we are typing is built
You have beautifully answered on the question asked on The marriage like keeping God in the centre, meeting with life challenges with power of love, supporting each other and serving the divine purpose but these things which you said seems out of our scope.

How to know one has realised the Divine? Is it based on any sign or experience? I feel a constant pressure inside my heart and it gives an aspiration, peace and devotion towards the divine. On the other hand the surface nature constantly act by the negative movement. This reason sometime that pressure is vanished. How much time the body will act on the surface nature? It is very unnerving stage for me. The sexual thought, ambition, laziness, repeating the mistake etc spontaneously arises and act upon the body and mind. In this stage what should I doš„? Please show me the right direction.
The deeper one goes into the soul, the more these negative tendencies open up in the surface nature. Everyone has to pass through it with

I had never realized how well read my father was until I started reading Sri Aurobindo’s books about 7 years ago, that too with lot of skepticism.
