Concentration & Effort Must Co-exist(Continuation): You should not entertain thoughts like ‘by doing this, I will gain popularity, this work fetches me money’ etc. Instead, you should work for the sheer pleasure you get when you create a beautiful idol. Only when these two aspects co-exist, you will achieve accomplishment in sculpture. To make biscuits, flour is the basic ingredient. Agreed. But if you make biscuits with only flour without adding, say for example – salt, no one will relish it. The effort you put in is like the flour, while the concentration you have is like the salt. As your efforts increase, so should your concentration. Don’t you increase the quantity of salt as you increase the quantity of flour?” ”................Sri Swamiji (to be continued)
