A lot of money to fulfill my passions, like buying a bike, travelling all of India, taking my parents to various countries, buying cameras, telescopes to sneak into the galaxy, sometimes I feel won’t the mother give me everything if I really need all this? Or if my needs are really imp? But then it comes to my mind, we have to work and get a job on our own! Passive surrender is not good?
It is quite natural at your age. Best is to go through sanyama which means to regulate rather than nigragaha or forced repression. Take the path of inner and outer balance, avoiding the extremes, as given in the Gita. Go through life but know that you belong to the Divine Mother alone. Receive what comes to you but know that you are a trustee and everything belongs to the Mother. Do not covet or try to grab or snatch and possess. Be firm in the practice of equanimity and be not afraid of life and its gifts of joy and sorrow, success and failure. Above all be steadfast in faith in the Divine Mother. Serve Her and love Her and shrink not from life and love.
Will I even do anything in the future, or will I keep figuring out what to do, and the time will fly?
Don’t spend time in thinking. Act and do. For the path becomes clearer as we walk. Believe in yourself and act.
It’s really tough. I have emailed you a lot about this thing. I’m really dumb about my future career, Alok da.
Nothing is tough if we have the faith and will.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
