AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel so empty in social gatherings and meetings, or when I try to make a new friend. I have lost interest in all these conversations about what people do, as I find it just surface talk and due to my obligations, I have to attend these sometimes. 😌👥🌄👥🪷[…]

Meanwhile I like to read sri Aurobindo and listen your talks. I don’t know if this is good or bad, as I am in family life and people expect me to be more social and extroverted. How should I deal with this and later not feel empty even? I don’t have much understanding of many things… Can you please help me with what to do so that I can carry my family life duties even and not feel empty within.

This is a very good sign, the sign of readiness for the true spiritual life. It may look odd for the socially minded average human being, but it is very helpful for spiritual progress. Practice a witness attitude and an inner detachment during these gatherings. Try to cultivate equanimity and inner peace through all this and remain engaged in an inner Remembrance of the Mother. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
