Vedanta - Be Creative in Life

SWAMI SUKHABODHANANDA





A young boy left his home in search of truth. He met many people; he became richer in awareness of his ignorance.Since people went to forests to meditate, he too went to a thick forest. He did not know how to meditate. So he screamed at the forest to give him knowledge. For years, his only mantra was screaming at the forest to give him knowledge. He believed that if you are committed, existence will help you.One day , a monk came to him.He asked, “What do you want, my son?“ “I want to know what's the meaning of life,“ he replied. “Go to the town. The first three persons that you meet will give you the meani ng of life,“ the monk replied.
The boy went to the town. The first man he met was doing carpentry work. The work. The next man he met was doing sheet metal work. The third man he met was making strings.Disappointed, he sat on the bank of a river.
Suddenly , he heard the sweet strains of violin music. Something mysterious touched him. He suddenly got the answer he was looking for and he started dancing. The carpenter was preparing the wood for a violin. The sheet metal worker was preparing metal for the violin. When wood, metal and strings came together, there was music.
Life has everything; connect the dots. You need to work out new combinations. And for that, you need creative perception. Be creative. Difficulty, seeking and discovering is joy .
