AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

This new-age concept of detachment – how valid is it? Does it work? Sincerity of effort is more important, right, than jumping from one thing to the other. As you said, nothing is perfect. Had to be made so. Then why so much stress on it?  🧘🕊️ […]

Also, a few people I met at Isha – foreigners – somehow I feel they think they are highly spiritual without understanding our cultural background and implications. They will take some drugs or do shamanism and think, oh, so cool. They don’t get certain things that are ingrained in our soul. 

A certain degree of inner detachment gives us a vantage point in terms of taking decisions. It also blunts the reactions of pleasure and pain when they arise as a result of situations and circumstances. In other words, the practice of inner detachment gives us an inner freedom that helps us navigate through life with minimum friction and pain. It also helps us stay focused on our goal because the mind and the vital are less reactive and disturbed. Truth finds it easier to manifest in a calm and peaceful mind and a vital freed from desires, which detachment brings about.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I remember reading a little bit of the western psychological theory about dreams activating those contents which we were avoiding and should be doing consciously in our wakeful life, for example there was this case of a woman who was continuously dreaming of a woman who was a living a wandering adventurous life but she in her actual life was living a life of infantile dependence on her parents and not having the adventurous courage of launching herself into the uncertain challenges of life. How true is this observation?

Dreams are a large chunk of our life given the time we spend in dreaming. Hence a study of dreams, and eventually becoming conscious of them and mastering them is surely something gained and won back from the realms of the unconscious…
