It is a great mystery, when you are a parent, to see that our children, now adults, are sometimes light years away from what we wanted to transmit. While I informed about the danger of mRNA injections, during Covid, by sending documentation, one of my children got vaccinated and adheres to the narrative of the Macron government. As for spirituality, let’s not talk about it, it is materialistic. I wonder if we really choose our family before incarnating. Could it be a game of chance, similar to a lottery? I have the feeling that adverse forces sometimes infiltrate families, through birth rate. Having a child is not innocent😥.

Completely understand this as it is happening everywhere. The whole world is in a turmoil, a painful and helpless anguish. Sri Aurobindo describes it as a snake sloughing its old skin. 

‘Be not repelled by the world’s crookednesses; the world is a wounded and venomous snake wriggling towards a destined off-sloughing and perfection. Wait, for it is a divine wager; and out of this baseness, God will emerge brilliant and triumphant.

Sri Aurobindo tells us that man is a transitional being and that from all the sufferings of the world will emerge a being of light capable of manifesting the Divine.’

The Mother commented:

Thus, all those who are not satisfied with the world as it is, know that their aspiration does not rise in vain and that the world is changing.

If consecration and effort are associated with the aspiration, things will move faster.’

It is like the darkness before every dawn. In times as these which are truly times of a ‘universal decomposition’ we have to learn to wait patiently with eternal hope and aspiration,  enduring the passage through the Night. We must always remember that Night is a passage, a temporary veiling of Light. The sun and the Light are the abiding truth and will emerge tearing away the veils of darkness in the individual as well as the collective life.

Affectionately,
