What does Sri Aurobindo mean by life energy. I had understood that soul is life energy and Vital is our desires, Is that right🤔?

Soul is the divine essence and not the life energy though it is commonly mistaken for that. But the life energy in an individual is drawn from the cosmic life force that pervades everything. To take the known image of the Gita, the body is the chariot (car if you like), horses are the life energy (petrol or other sources of energy), the charioteer (driver) is the buddhi while the traveller is the soul. Vital refers to the planes of life so in a way it is connected with the life energy.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
