AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Day to Day Life

I have a question about effort. What does it mean when we wish for something very much and put a lot of effort into it but we fail?

I work in the field of stock market and Finance at the same time I have a strong pull inside me towards Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna. I am very much moved by the Essays on the Gita and am trying to put into practice whatever little I have understood.
