Dada, Ma and Sri Aurobindo have always been the greatest strength of my life. And your lectures on YouTube helped me to heal a lot. I will be very much grateful to you if you suggest to me anything on how I can get out of this situation, or recover those lost 4 years? and make progress in my both spiritual and material life and go ahead with the blessings of the Mother. Jai Ma.
The solution is actually very simple. Analysing why it happened, lamenting about the wasted time, looking back surely won’t help. If anything it will only waste your energies further. Take this period as a costly lesson learnt. In fact it is a Grace that you are at least aware of the error and have the will to change. Otherwise people waste their whole life without realising it. So now the only thing to think about is the way forward.
The first step is neither joining some classes or looking for a job but to set a clear aim for yourself. What do you want to do in life? What is it that you seek? Once you have discovered your aim then you can set short term and long term goals as steps towards this.
It is also important to know what are the things and activities that you truly love doing, that work which triggers your passion and holds your heart. Your studies and job should be aligned to this deeper calling.
Pray to the Mother and you will get all the help that is needed. Stay busy and do physical exercises regularly.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
