Because in other Yogas, everybody says physical life should be endured. Here, Sri Aurobindo gives hope for betterment. So we come for that benefit too, in this very life. But how long will it last? Because the True Aspiration must be something higher, not the present benefit…
Yes, it is difficult for the physical mind to shift its fixed position and comfort zones. It feels lost and insecure. But once it accepts the New Idea, then it gets firmly established there. It is somewhat like learning a new language or a new equipment, wherein our old learning stands in the way. The first step, therefore, is always a leap of faith. However, if there is a will and an aspiration, however weak and vague, yet it ultimately has its way. With time, the aspiration gets stronger and stronger and a point comes when the resistance is overcome as one contacts the spirit behind the outer form. One day, it is bound to happen. But when is a question that only The Lord knows.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
