My deepest aspiration is to grow inwards and my current job gives me ample time for spiritual life. But I don't find it interesting. I am interested in research in Physics (Astronomy, Astrophysics, High Energy Physics)🛰️ and would like to apply for those jobs. 🔭[...]

But I am not sure if it’s just an initial attraction and that job will also feel like drudgery in the future. And I won’t find enough time to spend thinking about my inner life. So should I try to find joy in my current job itself by connecting it to God, or change to another field which I like. 🤨

No doubt one should try to find joy in whatever one is doing. Even the most mechanical activity can be turned into a feeder for the flame of aspiration. At the same time do engage in Astrophysics and the subjects to which you are drawn to. I am not sure if it will be easy to switch your job to a completely new field. But if time and circumstances allow and opportunity comes your way it is certainly better to follow your inner calling.

She is not only the Supreme Self but even more so the Consciousness and Power of the Supreme Self. Without Her the Supreme Self would not know Itself as the Supreme. Without Her the Supreme Self will remain unmanifest as the Being of Sacchidananda. Here is what Sri Aurobindo reveals to us in The Mother about the ..

Whenever I turn my attention inward or close my eyes, a very gentle current begins to descend—what is this? Secondly, during meditation, my consciousness follows wherever this current moves, and at times it spontaneously draws me deep into the heart. 💗🌊🧘🙏[…]

This soft flow is the psychic feeling. It originates from the depth of the heart and flows towards the rest of your nature.

During concentration it is better to go deeper towards the source of this soft current in the depths of the heart. It will lead you to your soul.
