I argue that ”seeking relief from my Nervous System Disquieted erupting from inconscient 😵 by praying and Self giving mental kriya, is not a selfish act” Please can you elaborate on this?

Self giving means surrendering oneself completely to the Divine Mother, to live for Her.

Self giving of the mind means to think of the Divine, to contemplate the Divine, to read and hear about the Divine, to try and understand the Divine mystery.

Self giving of the heart means turning our emotions towards the Divine in a manifold relation and love for the Divine.

Self giving of life means living to serve the Divine, turning all our energies towards the Divine.

Self giving of the body means to work for the Divine, using the body as an instrument and channel for the Divine purposes.

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.

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…
