AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Recently, I had a dream 😴 There was a very clean beautiful, big, old temple (Indian style) where some humans were staying, taking care of the temple. Suddenly, one day, tall, dark, strong people from far away lands came, fought to conquer the temple. They were hugely strong, slender, tall with pitch black skin carrying maces with thorns (all black). They were the most uniformly colored people I have seen ever, uniform black throughout the body. To me, they looked like well-looking, well-built rakshashas. A fight was scheduled, and the caretakers didn’t seem to mind much. They were willing to fight but they were not matched with the black people. The black people were all sitting on the trees around the temple and the leader was explaining their terms to the caretaker leader. While the fight was being prepared, I managed to divert their daughter of the caretakers and secretly took her away in a bus without anyone knowing, maybe the mother came with us too. I was more like a power telling her what to do, I was not physically on the scene. The daughter was crying but escaped. It seemed like the black people were arguing to get the daughter from the family if the conquering of the temple were to be successful. That’s the reason why I told the daughter to escape, however I didn’t have power to protect the temple. It seemed like this dream was happening in my physical body. Does this mean some health issues?

This is an amazing archetypal dream with very clear symbolic meaning. The temple is your heart, the caretakers are the positive godlike energies and forces. The tall, dark beings who are planning to attack are the negative rakshasic, adverse forces that want to take away the daughter of the priest. The daughter who is apparently important for the conquest to materialise is your developing psychic being that is helped by the Mother to escape from the attack of the adverse forces. The dream does not explicitly indicate what impact this inner event may have, if at all. In all likelihood the attack will not happen.  But it does mean that you are marked out for some work of the Mother and for the spiritual life. It is important therefore to focus on strengthening the psychic being through reading and contemplating on the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.  Keep Her always in your heart and call Her Name as often as you can. I think the proposed attack was not on your body but on your inner life. May Her Grace surround your life. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In one of the answer you advised us to approach one of the main four gods. What about the goddess?What if the main four aspects of the divine is represented as follow:-1) Sat / Brahma 2) Chit-Tapas / Shiva- Shakti 3) Anand / Vishnu. The above looks more appropriate to me based on the Chapter 12 – Vishnu, the All-Pervading Godhead of Part 2 of The Secret of the Veda🤔.

If this appeals to you, it is fine. Sri Krishna would not object to it. However here is what Sri Aurobindo himself has written. 
‘The One is Four for ever in his supramental quaternary of Being, Consciousness, Force and Ananda.

My grandmother is a very pessimistic and depressive person. And I noticed that relating tends to attract some accidents and bad luck in my life. She always says things like “I don’t wanna live”. But because she is so alone in life I feel a certain sense of guilt if I don’t relate to her and speak with her more often. Am I a heartless person if I choose not to sympathize with her self-pity and thus stay away😥?

Each one is responsible for what they do, the attitudes they take and the inevitable consequences they have to go through. No one can undo the web of Fate that people have woven for themselves through their actions and …

When two people who were once in love decide to part ways, what’s the right way to behave afterwards? Is it fair for one person to react impulsively, by blocking, avoiding, and acting like nothing ever existed between them, just because the relationship didn’t work out😢?

Such an outward behavior (blocking, acting like nothing existed) shows that perhaps there never was love from the person who is doing so. The person obviously does not know what love is. Most of humanity is sadly like that. Their love is as ephemeral as the wisp of a …
