This is largely a modern malady due to the misplaced idea that the goal of life is to be happy. This idea has led to the growth of a kind of aggressive, ambitious, arrogant individuality that lives only to fulfil its desires and extract as much happiness as possible. The result is strife and unhappiness since happiness cannot be found through any external object. What one may temporarily find is pleasure which is addictive in nature with a law of diminishing returns. This leads to a mounting frustration, restlessness, fears and anger that we see afflicting the youth today. The bogey of freedom is used to do whatever one feels like doing, disregarding all else, ignoring all other aspects of life, insensitivity towards others and as a result an increasingly self-centred attitude.

The remedy lies in true education including the education of parents who themselves are chasing desires and the society at large that values these outer acquisitions rather than inner growth or pursuit of progress and perfection.

Affectionately,

I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good. But I have to deal with a medical system here in Switzerland that on one hand is very excellent but on the other is often working with “worst case” scenarios causing fear and anxiety in me. (Sometimes I ask myself whether the hostile forces can also use doctors…) Anyway, I often feel the obligation to decide something, whether to follow the doctor’s advice or go my own way.

It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on your goal and not try to change people, however significant or close they may be in your life. To try changing others or to expect them to….

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?🪷🐘🌍🏮

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …
