AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why do I have to do difficult things? Can I not do easy things in Life😎?

And what is the joy in doing easy things? Everyone wants to do easy things. Honestly, where is the charm in that?

Personally, I don’t understand this. This is my personal take on it. When you take on the challenges of life and tackle difficult things, it doesn’t matter what. As a child, when you solved a puzzle of a thousand pieces, how day and night you worked on it, and ultimately, when you finished it, that “aha” feeling.

Life is that challenge, and we are born to do difficult things. We should be happy and proud that man has been chosen to do difficult things. To want to do easy things and lead an easy life is a life of inner misery even if one is surrounded by outer riches. Nothing worthwhile comes without effort. Such is the law of our earthly existence. To want easy life is therefore to deprive ourselves of some of the most beautiful things including happiness that many seek. The joy that cones after facing a challenge is far greater and enduring than temporary pleasures and momentary happiness.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good.

Human beings live in ignorance, ignorance of the deeper truths and forces that govern our lives, ignorant of the Divine Presence within, ignorant of the very goal of life. The doctors are no exception. They act out of goodwill but often an ignorant goodwill that …

I don’t know how to put it in word at some point I feel terrible about myself and at the same time not able to hold it anymore. Things have paradoxically changed. To be honest I have a complete different perception now which is difficult to explain to anyone also sometimes I feel is it a lot of my Ego speaking and thats why the conflicts?👑🦁🎭🪞

It is the struggle that most people of the new generation feel. The simplest way to deal with these things is to stay focused on your goal and not try to change people, however significant or close they may be in your life. To try changing others or to expect them to….

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?🪷🐘🌍🏮

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …
