AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It sometimes makes me feel uneasy that I might have to take a break from my literature readings, including the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, to prepare for exams that don’t genuinely interest me. 📚🎓🙄🦋[…]

It does make one wonder about the way the system is structured. While I don’t have a desire to study Mathematics, it seems to be a path that could lead to a job. It’s a bit disheartening to think about pursuing a career that doesn’t hold my interest.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
