Dear Sherri ~ your question is a very good one. Do I, as an artist and musician, quit doing my creative work because they may be noticed, purchased, or bring me some attention. I do not think this is what God(dess) intends. God(dess) is the very fount of creativity, which is also present in the world of achievement. My personal belief is to do the work in the world, remembering who is the real Doer and also not to be attached to outcomes, whether good or bad. For some of us, part of our sadhana may be playing our role in the world of names and forms. If we can do this with attention to the Divine, then we become part of the Divine lila, playing our parts with joy and selflessness.
