I am confused about my sadhana. I got involved in The Mother’s work, physically also I love it, she also loves me very much, I am feeling that but my problem is that I am not sticking in one way of sadhana.

Sir, the more I read different philosophies and scriptures, the more confused I become. In my pursuit of knowledge, I feel that I truly know nothing at all. My mind is filled only with opinions, ideas, and imaginations, and they all seem like mere garbage. The only true thing I possess is faithโfaith in my heart.

I have a little confusion about the method of reading Sri Aurobindo within my short life span. I have developed aspiration to complete the main books The synthesis of Yoga, the Life Divine, Savitri, Essays on the Gita and the Upanishads. I am now 71 years old and would aspire to complete before I leave this world. All the books I have partially read and could not complete. Should I read the books one by one or earmark different timings in a day for different books?๐โ๏ธ๐ชทโ๏ธ๐ฅ [conti]

I have never thought of staying in the Ashram forever, but the thought of visiting it comes again and again. Yes, but such thoughts do come and I also pray that Maa, some such arrangement should be made so that I can get food and shelter and my life can be devoted to serving you. Who knows, I may get entangled in the cycle of earning money๐ณ๐งโโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ธ [conti]
