AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

We have a very strict sir, he scolds us at no reason, he once took my iPad, because it started with a notification😔. When we ask him a very logical question he shouts back at us saying why don’t you understand anything. And when we don’t ask a question he says why are you not involved in the class. In the exam he has given us a topic which he did not teach in class and it was hard. In the mock paper he should have given 35 mins but gave only 15 mins . He also had to check the pt papers within a week but gave in 2 weeks and 1 day. He also scolded us for not doing the homework but that only 4 people did not do out of 24 so why are the rest have to be scolded. What should we do?

You should learn from him how one should not behave as a grown up. And since you cannot change the teacher use it as an opportunity to remain unaffected and indifferent to things you do not like. That is a great power and this is a great opportunity to learn this lesson of bearing things without reacting with anger or frustration when things don’t go our way.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

First about the facts. Mr Sonam Wangchuk is not inspired by Sri Aurobindo. There is nothing even remotely common between him and Sri Aurobindo whose name he has used as if he is going through a similar process. It …

“There is no criterion, but one can easily distinguish if one is in the inward condition, not sleep, in which most visions take place, by the nature of the impression made. A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo?Ā šŸŒ„

A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the other hand is an…
