I consider my participation in Ma Sri Aurobindo’s resolve as my true achievement. I don’t even have the capacity to discern what is right or wrong. But when I look around sometimes, I feel a bit detached.
Fate is always a mixed baggage for everyone. The silver lining is that despite the rigors and the challenges, despite the stresses and the sufferings there is in each one of us a divine possibility. And if we are fortunate to find that door open we must walk through it with faith and courage. Nothing is certain in life except this one thing that he who sincerely turns to the Divine will be carried through it all across the ocean of worldly life, the Divine Name his ship and sole support. All else may fail but not the Name Divine. Of course the difficulties are there, they come in a life due to the secret Providence which dispenses to each his lot or share of Fate. But the Name of God is the Divine Support given to man to go through the challenge and come out successfully. Whatever be the difficulty, however difficult and seemingly impossible the circumstances one should always hold on to the Divine Mother with faith and confidence in the Divine Grace which is always victorious in the end.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
