you are no more worldly. To search for security is to be worldly. Even if you call it internal, it doesn't make much difference. To live in insecurity like a rose flower is to be other-worldly.
Security is of the world; insecurity is of the divine.
[A sannyasin who has begun to help teach in the little school for sannyasins here says: In the West I was teaching art... but I became frustrated because I loved to teach but the system and everything was crazy. Here it's not.]
No, here you will enjoy. And those little sannyasins are great!..
Very good -- teach them art, mm? and they will also teach you many things. Then only is the relationship good, when the teacher is also a student. Then there is great respect. It should not be one-way traffic. If the teacher has just to teach and the students have just to learn, then the relationship is not balanced. When the teacher also learns and is open to learning, there is great relationship, great flow of energy, and there is respect. So help those little children....
And all children are artists, all children are born artists! We destroy them later on; that's another thing. Otherwise each child brings great creativity into the world. We don't allow it because we are afraid of creativity; we only allow it so far, and only for a few people do we allow it. We don't want everybody to be a poet and a painter because if everybody was a poet and/or a painter the world would be totally different. It would not have any structure then, it would not have any politics; no war would be possible. The politician would have to disappear from the earth. And who would be mad after money if there were many many poets and many painters and musicians and singers? Who would think of money?
So this whole structure depends on destroying creativity. This is a very uncreative society. It allows only a few creative people and that too just for entertainment; just for the change it is okay. Once in a while you can go to the concert and you can enjoy; it is a kind of relaxation from the work world. But nobody takes it seriously and sincerely. It is something aside -- a side show.
Creativity has to become
