Question How can I protect my aspiration from the pull of forces that love me in the outer world?
Sri Chinmoy: You can protect your aspiration from the pull of forces that love you in the outer world by allowing the forces of the inner world to pull you constantly. These inner forces are God’s Compassion for you, God’s Love for you, God’s Concern for you and God’s constant, blessingful Oneness with you.
