AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo with friend Deshpande was travelling by train and beside Deshpande there was sitting one muslim person. Alok da please share that complete incident and what we must learn from the incident😌

I don’t remember the incident that is being described. I am not sure why someone has specifically quoted it. Sri Aurobindo was generally reticent about expressing his views on any issue. People  read into his Silence. The one thing to learn from Sri Aurobindo with regard to this incidence is to remain quiet and undisturbed under any circumstance. It is in this state that there is a chance for knowledge to enter. But ordinarily we are too full of our views and opinions which we rush to express and impose upon others. Sri Aurobindo observed quietly and even suggested that one can learn a lot during travels by observing human nature. Perhaps he was doing that. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Today I had a vivid dream where I was sitting with my late grandfather, offering to read to him from Savitri. In life, our bond was anchored in deep spiritual sharing, and just before his passing, he had instinctively offered his pranam upon seeing a photograph of Sri Aurobindo.🌙📖🕊️🙏🏻[…]

How long was this, that is, when did your grandfather pass away? I was wondering if there was an actual contact with him in the dream. It seems likely. In any case it is a most beautiful dream, possibly a dream vision.

But how long will she be in this Coma stage? Her body’s some part is working and some not…Means what we heard: some percent of her brain is working…. 🕯️🤲🌸🙏🏻

Surely she can pull through the Coma. But it is difficult to predict. Ultimately it depends upon what her soul choses. And the choice of the soul is not based on the attachments in the world. The soul is not attached to anyone in its journey through lives. Its only attachment is to the Divine Truth. Its only concern is about the progress it can make in its life. If there is still the possibility of some progress in this body then it may return. If not then it may make a different choice.
