Is the information and knowledge the same or different? Why do I ask you, In my daily work, I encounter a few people who are well educated, informative, and have the information about what is going on around the world, They talk about the Gita, Veda but for any event, they have a negative approach, and there are few people, the society called the illiterate, but have the faith on god, do there work very sensually, always have a positive approach to the life. It seems they are happy with what they have. So I ask this🤔?

Alok da,this is a question on “desire” as I’m trying to understand from what Sri Aurobindo wrote and also from my own little perplexion I’m facing in life right now. in the opening passage of national value of art Sri Aurobindo says unlike the simple primitive life, wants of vital instincts brought the hunger for wealth, luxury, beautiful women, rich food and drinks but also brought violence, fraud, selfishness etc…i was reminded of this passage when Someone online recently posted a weirdly fascinating piece of design they’ve made for their luxurious home and there’s this particular response to that post by praising it and mocking the glorification of so called banal minimalist houses, let me quote it for context “This is what you gave up when you chose minimalism. You gave up drama. You gave up spirit. You gave up whimsy. And you plastered all of it flat”🤔.

Minimalism and spartan living has little to do with spiritual life. The spiritual man and woman can sport with luxury, govern a kingdom, engage in

Sir, is it not time for all the pontiff’s of various peetams in our country to find the fulfillment of their respective path in Sri Aurobindo’s vision and seek to work together for its realisation🤨

There is one saying of Sri Aurobindo that “It is by a constant inner growth that one can attain a constant newness and unfailing interest in life.
