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

Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri Krishna himself advocates. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother speak mainly of Aspiration, opening to the Divine, inner remembrance and offering leading to surrender. In fact these methods give quicker …

In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, “ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.” Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. 🌑☀️🔥🙏🏻

It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility. But to bring it out we are provided within us the challenge, the opposition to the possibility that we must conquer. Take for instance someone meant to realise true love will find in his life surrounded by some of the ..
