Surrender to the Divine Mother is central in the Integral yoga of Sri Aurobindo. The easiest way is to form the relation of mother and child. With all our limitations, shortcomings and demands of human nature, the Divine Mother leads us the way towards a wider and more enlightened path. Only sraddha and samarpan, faith and surrender then matters.
Optimism fades with age, and some remain unaware of others' suffering, as seen in those who never experience hardship.
