Painting and Sadhana [3]

You have painting and music in you and if you apply yourself they will develop in you. Only it is best to do it as an instrument of the Mother and as an offering to her, and not allow any personal desire for fame or appreciation by others or any personal pride to be the motives – for it is that that gives trouble. All work done as an offering is a great help and does not give trouble.
