I’ve been pondering this question for a little while. About 3 months back, I saw the Netflix animated series Kurukshetra. In it, when the Pandavas had to bring down Dronacharya, finding it difficult Krishna suggested to Yuddhistira that he lie (Aswatthama hato hata). It’s only when Yuddhistira refuses to lie that Krishna asks him to tell a half truth (Nara ba Gunjara). My question is how can a God endorse lying, when the Mother herself has forbidden us to lie?β˜ΈοΈπŸŽπŸΉβš”οΈ

During family discuss about god and the creation. I said that Divine Mother is the Mother of all gods and Lord Sri Aurobindo is the Father of them all. And Sri Aurobindo is Kalki Avatar. So my aunt asked if he is the Kalki Avatar he must be the 10th Avatar of Vishnu so he must have came out of Vishnu as Lord Krishna was and must be lower in consciousness which I know is not true.

I am unable to understand my future and even my present feels unclear to me. I realize that I am not serious enough when it comes to making important life decisions. At the moment, I am pursuing a B.Com degree, but I am not happy or satisfied with it. I wish to understand whether certain kinds of work naturally align with one’s inherent nature. Is inner alignment or agreement essential for choosing the right path?πŸŽ―πŸ§­πŸ•‰οΈπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ

I had a dream in which I met my guru, who was sitting under a tree with a bucket full of books beside him. I said, “Dada, please give me one of these books.” He replied, “Take whichever one you like.” I said, “No, please give me the book you want to give me.” So he picked up a book and gave it to me, and it had “The Individual and Personality” written on it. What could this mean, Alok ji?πŸŒœπŸ’­πŸ˜΄πŸ’€

It means that you should read more and develop one’s individuality and personality as a prelude to walk the path.

Since childhood, I have never really figured out my Swadharma. I picked up a career just like a rat race. I’m 32, but I don’t have a settled path. I keep fluctuating and never truly focused on learning or education. It breaks my heart that I didn’t learn in school or college in the true way. I studied just to clear exams, not to actually acquire knowledge πŸ§­πŸ›£οΈπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸŽ―[…]
