We lack surity, conviction and unclear about our goals. If we don’t have such beautiful ideals so is it wiser to avoid Marriage😐? Please guide.

You have beautifully answered on the question asked on The marriage like keeping God in the centre, meeting with life challenges with power of love, supporting each other and serving the divine purpose but these things which you said seems out of our scope.

They are not out of our scope. What is lacking is faith and courage, faith that nothing is impossible once something in us glimpses it as an ideal to be followed, and, the courage to go through whatever is needed to fulfil it.

As to marraige, in fact for anything in life, it is best not to make any absolute rules. Those who keep the ideal in front grow towards it through everything. Even a failed or painful marraige can make a soul marked for a higher life. Whereas those who may not be holding an ideal before them may actually end up having a seemingly happy married life, outwardly so to say, yet a life lived on the surfaces. No doubt trying to live an Ideal generates a kind of stress on the person who strives for it as well as on those who are near him. The chances of being misunderstood are high. Hence the qualifier does hold good for many that if you are striving for a higher life then think 50 times before you marry. And if one does, there should be a basic harmony of the ideal, a sympathy if not the same aspiration.

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. To be honest, I don’t have much faith in their long rituals which were advised by our family priest. To me a simple ritual with faith & devotion is what is actually needed in worship🤨.

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…
