Ego doesn’t leave easily. If one waits for the ego to be dissolved before one takes up work for the Divine then one may never be able to take it up. Rather by sincerely taking up the work one slowly starts getting rid of the ego.

However at your age (late adolescence) I would suggest that you should right now focus on developing yourself and read Sri Aurobindo and the Mother but without neglecting your main subjects of study. Later once you get a stable foothold on life then you may decide whether to take up this work or any other.

Without Ravana how the Divinity of Rama would have been fully manifested and also without Kansa or Duryodhana how the Divinity of Krishna would have been fully manifested? There is also the story of Jai – Vijay so is it the leela of the Divine for his complete manifestation or the distortion in creation🤔?

Yes this is the other complimentary truth that the greater the darkness, individually as well as collectively, the greater the possibility of Light. India is a classic example of a civilisation plunged into darkness for …
