I keep remembering what Sri Aurobindo says “Base your life on this one fact that the Mother loves you and all will be alright.” I try to keep reminding myself of that but it feels very hard to believe that most of the time. Is She watching me? Will it ever get easier?
She is not only watching you but carrying you. How else are you able to navigate through it despite the challenges? However it is important to remember that no two lives follow the same curve and hence comparisons are meaningless. In fact the many are led through the common route but for the souls chosen to rise to greatness in this life or another, the Divine puts them on a road less travelled. If the path is difficult and the challenges many then it implies that the Divine has marked you out for a greater, larger work in the larger scheme of things. In a world where everyone is running after wealth and chasing comfort, pleasure and happiness why not strive for wisdom and light and truth? Live for a higher and greater purpose than material success and step out of the common road race and walk the difficult dateless path reserved for the few.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
