Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

Undated

Mother,

For the last ten or fifteen days, I have been having a fear about some snake. When I go to bed to sleep, I feel as if a snake is moving around my bed and also near my feet. This morning when I went to the bathroom I actually stepped on a scorpion but I was saved by Thy Grace. Mother, why am I having this fear of a snake?

It is not clear. It looks like a suggestion (imagination) of the vital plane forced upon your mind. Did you kill the scorpion?
