Ego doesn’t leave easily. If one waits for the ego to be dissolved before one takes up work for the Divine then one may never be able to take it up. Rather by sincerely taking up the work one slowly starts getting rid of the ego.

However at your age (late adolescence) I would suggest that you should right now focus on developing yourself and read Sri Aurobindo and the Mother but without neglecting your main subjects of study. Later once you get a stable foothold on life then you may decide whether to take up this work or any other.

Sometimes the viral is mild and passes away, sometimes it is severe. I feel making sense of this phenomenon will help the body and mind to cope better, hence asking you what should be the right attitude during the time when these feelings arise. Also how to make the surrender better?

When these feelings arise, it is best to take a few moments of quietude (preferably asap), and then concentrate in the heart and offer it to Her. Else, a hasty mental offering through the surface …

“There is certainly a great difference between calling and pulling — you can and must always call for help and the rest — the answer will be proportionate to your capacity of reception and assimilation. Pulling is a selfish movement that may bring down forces quite disproportionate to your capacities and thus are harmful.” Alok bhai, what does pulling mean in this msg from Mother🤔?
