AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My deepest aspiration is to grow inwards and my current job gives me ample time for spiritual life. But I don’t find it interesting. I am interested in research in Physics (Astronomy, Astrophysics, High Energy Physics)🛰️ and would like to apply for those jobs. 🔭[…]

But I am not sure if it’s just an initial attraction and that job will also feel like drudgery in the future. And I won’t find enough time to spend thinking about my inner life. So should I try to find joy in my current job itself by connecting it to God, or change to another field which I like. 🤨

No doubt one should try to find joy in whatever one is doing. Even the most mechanical activity can be turned into a feeder for the flame of aspiration. At the same time do engage in Astrophysics and the subjects to which you are drawn to. I am not sure if it will be easy to switch your job to a completely new field. But if time and circumstances allow and opportunity comes your way it is certainly better to follow your inner calling. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Many unwanted things begin to show up in close…

It would greatly help your inner progress if you take up work, any work and for whatever time, in the Sri Aurobindo Center.
