AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I see so many people around succeed, is success so important? As all around I see people are in a race to succeed as if their only agenda ๐Ÿ˜ฏ is to succeed.

To succeed in one’s undertaking is fine, – after all one does not take up any work with the idea of failing, What is however important is the road they take to success and the means they adopt to the extent of stifling their souls and deviating not only from the right and light but also from the truth of their being, Swadharma. Driven by ambition and given to the ego they go down the spiral of inner evolution.

It is necessary therefore to first define what is success and remember that many outer seeming successes are a tragic failure of the soul. A success gained at the expense of the growth of the soul is at best a bad bargain, at worst a tragic failure.

Affectionetly,

Alok Da

Yes, of course, reading and writing prepare the ground, they are not a replacement or substitute for direct experience which comes through the meeting of Aspiration and the Grace.ย

Jai Maa. Today I was reading the Two Natures chapter from Essays on the Gita and there Sri Aurobindo explains that the desire in consonance with dharma does not lead to any bondage, while there he also mentions that desire born of Rajogun leads to bondage and misery. ๐Ÿ“–โœ’๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒป[…]

He has already answered this as you have correctly indicated, through the svabhava. Svabhava is the Divine Impulsion in creation that generates karma. It is the swabhava of the…
