AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I’m not doing any work and staying at home all day. I tried working, as I had told you earlier that I went to the mines, but everyone there was drinking alcohol, and I became sick. I don’t know if I’m becoming lazy and dodging work or if I simply don’t want to do all of this. It feels like living for money is a selfish life, and I don’t want to live like that. If I do any work apart from serving God, it feels futile to me๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Work is indispensable for progress. Selfishness is an inner attitude and not in the work that one does. Of course doing sewa (service to the Divine) is best but then one has to ideally live in an Ashram. If that be your true calling, you should follow it. What is the hesitation in working in the setup of an Ashram? You should try to explore this possibility,ย  for example,ย  working at the Delhi Ashram.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
