She then called me into the hall and said that I should bring my weight down to 80 kg (my weight is currently 70 kg; it had once reached 74 kg but has since dropped again). She advised me to consume gond (edible gum) for this purpose. She mentioned something else as well, though I do not recall what it was. She then gave me a toffee and a 20-rupee note. As I looked into Her eyes, I began to wonder deep down why I wasn’t feeling anything—neither devotion nor spiritual emotion—at that moment.
Was it truly Mother? If so, how should the gond be consumed, and is there any significance to the toffee and the 20-rupee note?
It seems very unlikely to be The Mother. The inner feeling is most important in these matters.
Otherwise, receiving toffee and Rs. 20 would indicate some kind of an increase in the inner wealth or a gain. Weight gain would also point in the same direction, of an increase in prosperity.
Affectionately,
Alok da
