The state you describe is a kind of vairagya that sometimes takes the form of sadness. As you have experienced these feelings are like waves that pass away. They do not endure though, like all waves of nature, it has a tendency to return again. At its root is some kind of discontent with the life one is leading, perhaps some kind of compromise between the need of the soul (of which one may or may not be aware outwardly) and the actual life one is leading.

Especially this need to go to some Himalayan village reflects an inner need of solitude which itself is a sign of readiness for the spiritual life. What is needed is to heed this call and learn to live within in an inner solitude. Take out moments to be alone with yourself and seek the purpose of your life, the things you really want to do but could not, the goal or aim for which you would live.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

We recently brought a Shivling from my in-law’s place as they are not able to take proper care of it. My in-laws used to worship it with elaborate rituals. We have also been advised to follow it.

I understand your situation and have experienced this with other families as well. Ritual involves a,material and a spiritual aspect. The material side is to give bath (wash) the Shivalingam daily and keep it in a …

Dear Alok da I am a woman so it’s very easy to look at Divine as a lover… but how can a man relate to Divine like a lover ? Like when Sri Aurobindo writes the poem on Krishna I can relate feel Krishna in that form but what about a man? This was just silly curious question but thought to ask🙂.

This is something that i struggled with for a while as to how could I see the Beloved in the Mother or bring before Her all my different parts for the needed change and transformation. Soon I realised that it …

Last night, I had a dream where I saw that my father and I were getting a tubewell installed, and at the end, when we inserted the pipe, a lot of water came out and it was sparkling. Then, Grandpa came and asked why we had the tubewell installed, saying that the water is salty. When we drank it, the taste was a bit salty, so I said at least the water would be useful. Later, I saw that my brother and I were checking the car’s headlight, but it didn’t light up. So, I said, doesn’t the light work? What’s the problem? He said it’s fine, and when I turned it on, the light was very dim. Then, we removed the mirror from the headlight and saw that it was giving off very little light. What could be the symbolic meaning of this dream🤔?

I don’t think it has any deeper symbolic meaning. Looks more like a dip into the subconscient where the water is not tasty and the lights are dim. But it could also be…
