You are like the swan in the company of kingfishers. Don’t try to be like them. Instead walk with your head held high towards high and noble things, keep your feet steady on the ground by doing your work with dedication and practice equanimity in the face of outer disturbances. When surrounded and overwhelmed with contrary forces, then just go on taking the Mother’s Name quietly in your heart and all will be well.

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.
