The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

Sweet Mother,

How can one get rid of, or rather correct, jealousy and laziness?

It is selfishness that makes one jealous; it is weakness that makes one lazy.

In either case the only truly effective remedy is conscious union with the Divine. Indeed, as soon as one becomes conscious of the Divine and is united with Him, one learns to love with the true love: the love that loves for the joy of loving and has no need to be loved in return; one also learns to draw Force from the inexhaustible source and one knows by experience that by using this Force in the service of the Divine one receives from Him all that one has spent and much more.

All the remedies suggested by the mind, even the most enlightened mind, are only palliatives and not a true cure.

Blessings.
