What does a Dream about traveling through Skardu, witnessing female fighters merging with military personnel, and hearing a forgotten poem by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar in a three-story house symbolize regarding one’s Inner Spiritual Transition and emerging Stability?⛰️🌄🙂🙏🏻🌷

Recently, I had a dream where I was travelling with my wife to Skardu in PoK. It was a very beautiful place with snow-capped mountains, scenery, and rivers. But then I saw us travelling a narrow road leading to the dangerous side of the place.

It was all day time. However, when we reached a place, it suddenly became evening, and I saw 7 girls with strong figures but very young, who must be around 21-22 coming from the other side of the road. And from our side came personnel in fatigues and the girls and these personnel got merged. And they started firing at all the terrorists there. I was astonished looking at that sight.

Then again, it became daytime and we were climbing into a 3 storied house in that region. On reaching the 2nd floor, I got a feeling that Ramdhari Singh Dinkar was there, and he orated a short poem. It was very deep, but I couldn’t remember the poem.

Could this dream mean something? Or was it just a fragment of my subconscious mind’s imagination with all the India-Pak actions going on that time?

It is certainly not imagination but the symbolic representation of an inner battle going on within you. What is, however, interesting is that Skardu is a valley between two mountains, which may well suggest that right now you are going through an important transition, a low state that intervenes between two highs. Slowly but steadily, your consciousness seems to be advancing forward. The three-storied house means a new stability is being found. The short poem of Dinkar ji is to give you hope and courage. 

Affectionately,

I thought I had changed my past impure self a little bit; I thought I had become a little better human… but again, something happened and I feel I failed more miserably than before…. I have not changed at all…. I think I am worse… It is heartbreaking to know that I am just the same person as before…. 🌱🌅🙏🏻

The fact that you want to change is itself a sign that you have changed! This is how the change takes place. In the beginning we act almost unconsciously without even feeling the need for change. True progress begins when we become aware that we need to change. Otherwise almost everyone is busy finding faults with others which is such a waste of energy and effort. Good or bad we cannot change others. The only person we need to change is …

I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]

Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the Divine Will. Bhishma was quite selfless renouncing the throne and serving as a shield to the throne of Hastinapur defending the king regardless of who he was. But he was acting in opposition to the Divine Will. Self giving means to live for the Divine, to make the Divine Service the very motive of all our actions. It means to direct our thoughts to the Divine, to think of the Divine instead of the thousand useless things. With …

Could you help me understand the following pad from Tulsidas’s Vinay Patrika? I am not entirely sure what he is really talking about. I think he is distinguishing between ordinary life and spiritual life, and it seems related to my previous question.

Here, Tulsidas ji is speaking about how true bhakti is not easy to practice. Many speak about it but very few can practice it.

He then goes on to give two examples to show that not all can do everything. One should have the right temperament for it. Thus, a fish can easily swim through a river and cross it…
