AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It sometimes makes me feel uneasy that I might have to take a break from my literature readings, including the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, to prepare for exams that don’t genuinely interest me. πŸ“šπŸŽ“πŸ™„πŸ¦‹[…]

It does make one wonder about the way the system is structured. While I don’t have a desire to study Mathematics, it seems to be a path that could lead to a job. It’s a bit disheartening to think about pursuing a career that doesn’t hold my interest.

Yes, there is much that is wanting in the present education system. But take an interest in all you do as part of the preparation. While there may not be much time for serious reading, but you can always take out time for a Prayer from the Prayers and Meditations, as well as a passage from Savitri.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
