I’ll also try to follow the same way as told by You in terms of non-indulgence in useless chatter and mundane talks. It does affect the energies I can now feel it and many a times I do it to make other person happy because there is nothing else to talk about. Very few are interested in talking about spiritual matters so we end up talking politics, money matters, celebrities and other useless gossips. I have to find a balance where I can keep quiet inside my mind and at the same time they should not feel bad. But on a personal level first I should maintain that equilibrium inside me to think and read only about what is actually important because I’m also habituated to talk about useless things only thing is now I can see how it affects the energies.
As I read through the full advice given by Mother (which I have to read again and again to fully contemplate on), I clearly saw where I’m lacking and I’m doing so many mistakes on the spiritual path. I’ll try to work on them. It’s like Mother is directly talking to me and giving me a reality check. Reading throughout, I felt as if my own subtle knots are opening one by one because I have all these issues to be honest and I have set a huge goal in terms of spiritual life and its culmination but the ground reality hits hard and I got to know that lots of works has to be done.
Yes. Growing up is work, the greater the goal and higher the climb, greater the work. But it is fully worth it as every little effort, every little victory takes us towards peace and bliss, away from the sphere of sorrow and suffering and incapacity and weakness. After all conscious evolution, a gift to humans, is always much better than being pushed by all kinds of forces, situations and circumstances.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
