AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Day to Day Life

Respected Alok da, 1) I want to progress. With the work I am currently doing, I feel as though I am not learning anything new.

On the occasion of Friendship Day, my mind went to you, Alok da. You have been the dearest friend in the world of aspirants. May the world have many more friends like you. The other day, I was writing down something from Sri Aurobindo. At the end of the short passage, when I wrote the Name, I felt grateful that I have the privilege of writing his name. 😊🙏🏻🌼🌸[…]

Thanks for the beautiful wishes. May the bond of Her Love bind us all together in a common uplifting aspiration.
