The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

   Q) My present life has become so dull. Nothing interests me. It is as if there is no use continuing life like this. What are these life-feelings?

 

What life-feelings? What you describe is their absence, the entire quiescence of the vital. It is when the vital is inactive or non-cooperates and no higher force replaces it, then there is the feeling of absence of interest in everything.
