I am walking through whatever life is bringing to me. But still, I am unable to find or understand the Purpose, the Goal, or the True Aim of my life.

Dear Alok Da, In the book “The Mother” – Sri Aurobindo writes: “it is only the very highest supramental Force descending from above and opening from below that can victoriously handle the physical Nature and annihilate its difficulties…” – “Descending from above” I could get the idea.
