If I learn to I find it challenging to understand how to truly work for and be for the Mother in the details of my daily activities. I feel that constant, meaningful effort is needed to be true to this aspiration. I need something to bridge the outer side of my work with my innermost aspiration and feeling towards Her. In between, in the psychological (mental and vital) and physical domains, is where most of “me” resides.

Kindly Help me to understand and what attitude I should take according to the meaning of Sri Aurobindo’s aphorism ‘Hate not the oppressor, for, if he is strong, thy hate increases his force of resistance, if he is weak, thy hate was needless.’ because my individual will is too weak. How to strengthen the will and follow the path without deviation?πŸͺ·πŸ“œπŸ“•♾️

While reading Life Divine,Β I go slowly in paragraphs, with its meaning of difficult words and its meaning as it is received. Read it in the next morning. Feel that something is understood, abstract. But if someone ask me to explain,Β couldn’t made in my words. Is it right.Β πŸ“–βœ¨πŸŒΒ πŸŒ…πŸͺ· Β  Β  Β  Β
