AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Recently I had a dream: I was at this place that I had never seen before, there was a river and my physical mother was there in that river with me. I could feel the water and the base and also the base of the river was hard concrete but a bit uneven. Then I wanted to take the water in my hands but could not so I had a shiny silver foil like thing from which I made a bowl like thing and then took the water in it. Then a white seagull flew above my head make it’s chirping noise and I really liked it. Can you please explain this?

Water is life. River is the flow of life. Hard bed is the physical consciousness, mother is the link with the old consciousness.

Silver foil is the spiritual consciousness growing in you with which you are connecting with your old life in a new way, more and more under the Influence of the soul (seagull).

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Thanks for the interesting parallels between the spiritual nationalism of Sri Aurobindo and Charles de Gaul. Sri Aurobindo did regard him as a divine instrument in the Second World War. Of course subsequently Sri Aurobindo went much farther and deeper than the patriotic love and the prophet of  nationalism, and became the lover of …
