AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is choosing a career path like CA solely for material goals such as travel and financial freedom, rather than as an expression of one’s Inner Truth and will, a sustainable way to avoid future regret, or does true success require a deeper alignment between one’s work and inner being?πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’ΌπŸ—ΊοΈβ›°οΈ

What do you think about the CA course? It may help me achieve my material goals also. My Wish of exploring the world, getting my bike, and travelling the Himalayas, all this cannot be achieved by a 9-5 Govt Job.Β Isn’t it a good idea? I know, I have asked you so many times about my career, but I don’t want to regret it in the future. So I have to clear all my doubts, and hope you are OK with this.

Where there is a will, there is a way. In my fairly vast experience, I have seen that the job one does hardly matters. What really matters is the will and aspiration within, especially the faith in things that one wants to achieve. In any case, a job is not meant to be taken up for money and time considerations. It is like marrying someone only for money and looks. For these things do not last. When one has to spend a lifetime with a job or with a person, it should be based on something deeper and enduring. A job should be an expression of your inner angst, of your will to be. It should be your means to climb the inner heights of self-discovery and self-expression.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally? I am curious how you understand this and practice this aim of Life. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸͺ·β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯
