A talk and satsang at Cultural Integration Fellowship, San Francisco, California 8/25/24We tend to get depressed about the world situation we find ourselves in.  The issues confronting humanity are seemingly threatening extinction of the human race and we see noeasy solutions; in fact, they appear to be getting worse.  We have numerous different directions that are suggested for a way forward.  There are political solutions, economic solutions, technological solutions, environmental solutions, and some even propose simply finding a way to colonize another planet rather than solve the problems right here where we live.  We feel small, isolated, alone and afraid for ourselves, our families and our world.  Meanwhile we need to earn a living and find a way to survive the stress of daily life, much less focus on the bigger picture issues.  The result of all this is mental paralysis.  We then try to escape, to shut ourselves off, to drown our sorrows in alcohol or take up use of mind-numbingdrugs, or simply closing our eyes to the issues and trying to march on our narrow path day in and day out, with a sense of duty. Very few find a way to break out of these approaches and truly look for something new and different that can change the dynamic.  And those who do wonder how much their own personal efforts actually ‘matter'. In this session we explore these issues and challenge conventional approaches to see how we can truly ‘make a difference'.Video presentations, interviews and podcast episodes are allavailable on the YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@santoshkrinsky871More information about Sri Aurobindo can be found at www.aurobindo.net  The US editions and links to e-book editions of SriAurobindo's writings can be found at Lotus Press www.lotuspress.com#crisis #depression #anxiety #stress #evolution of consciousness #yoga #integral yoga #Sri Aurobindo #The Mother
