Q: I don't like it when my wife stops me from coming here.

Guruji: She should be doing it because she might be worried about you leaving your family and becoming an ascetic. So, you should give her the assurance that Guruji will not let you become ascetic.

Be Like a Lotus Leaf

It is said that you should be like a lotus, do you know why? Although the lotus is in a muddy pond, not a drop of mud, not a pinch of mud sticks to the lotus leaf or to the flower. The lotus leaf is in the water, but if you put a drop of water on top of it, it stays like a gem, it does not stick to the leaf.

So, be in this world like a lotus leaf means, be here (in the world) but do not get stuck to anything. Do all the work, but do not get that into your head. Isn’t that beautiful? How many of you like this idea? This is the way to keep yourself sane. That is the advice that was given to us when we were kids; we have to be like a lotus leaf.

=====================

It’s not enough to be good. You have to be smart, intelligent also. When there is knowledge, you will be happy and content in your life. Be centered in singing, meditation and knowledge.

Creativity

Creativity brings a new beginning for "time". When you are creative, you break the monotony of time. Everything becomes fresh and alive. Creativity brings along with it a new round of enthusiasm. Both creative and procreative impulses in nature are associated with enthusiasm. When you are enthusiastic you are closer to the creative principle of existence.

Deep silence is the mother of creativity. No creativity can come out of one who is too busy, worried, over-ambitious or lethargic. Balanced activity, rest and yoga can kindle skills and creativity in you.
