Q: Guruji, how to maintain a balance between discipline and freedom?
Guruji : You should know that they appear to be opposite but they are complimentary. Discipline brings freedom to us.
As a child you were disciplined to brush your teeth every morning and every night. That discipline brought you freedom from tooth ache and tooth decay, isn't that so?!
If you have the discipline of getting onto the treadmill, then that brings you freedom from cholesterol and other problems.
===============
Navratri is a time when all those needs - physical, mental and spiritual, are taken care by the Divine. At the same time, help each other, help all those people who need your help. It is nine nights, it is very auspicious and it is uplifting to the spirit.
===============
If you feel low, appease and please yourself. Your need to be appeased by someone else is the sign of grossness. This is the root of ignorance. If you want attention, all you get is tension.
Om Namah Shivay
