AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Currently I am pursuing my Masters of Science in Information Technology (Msc.I.T) and this is my last semester, so it will be completed nearly by May. But I am little bit confused about what should I do further. There are many corporate job options but I don’t feel so good about it (Maybe it is my disliking). I am quite inclined towards the teaching field, but it is a very responsible field and I doubt that will I be able to do it perfectly and sincerely?🗺️💼📈🧑‍💼

I like to explain things and also to understand and learn complex concepts in a simple way. Plus I love academia, since school I always loved studying. But in the corporate it feels like I will just be coding in a corner without being able to do anything innovative or new. And as I said, there is an inclination to the teaching field, but I have self-doubts about it that whether I will be able to do it properly or not. Our work is the thing we are going to do all our life, and that is why I feel that it should not be a burden on us. Also I wish to Currently I am pursuing my Masters of Science in Information Technology(Msc.I.T) and this is my last semester, so it will be completed nearly by May.

Can you please help me out Alok Da, about what should I do?

It is obvious that Corporate Sector is not for you. Perfection, sincerity etc can be developed but interest is something intrinsic. So best would be to go by your innate temperament, Swadharma which is learning, teaching, which will allow you inner satisfaction as well as creative growth. Corporate will stifle you and leave less and less time to read Sri Aurobindo and The Mother plus the psychological environment in the Corporate World is generally not conducive to inner growth. This is what I would suggest.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. I would like to understand whether this means that the souls presently residing in Sri Krishna’s eternal abode would be able to come to the divine world that will manifest on Earth in the future. 🦚🌍

The beings in higher worlds as for example Goloka are not necessarily souls. The soul is a portion of the Divine that enters the earth and goes through the evolutionary process and return to the Divine, either to rest permanently in Him annulling itself completely or else to be part of the higher worlds as for example Devrishi …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
