Meditation makes you more creative

Certain meditation techniques can promote creative thinking. This is the outcome of a study by cognitive psychologist Lorenza Colzato and her fellow researchers at Leiden University, published 19 April in the open access journalist  'Frontiers in Cognition'.

This study is a clear indication that the advantages of particular types of meditation extend much further than simply relaxation. The findings support the belief that meditation can have a long-lasting influence on human cognition, including how we think and how we experience events.

Prabhupada: "No, no, even giving them away

Prabhupada: "No, no, even giving them away, what is the wrong?"
Madhudvisa: "Well, You said we should not give the books away. You said we should sell these books."
Prabhupada: (chuckles) "No, no, he has purchased. He has purchased. Then if You purchase from me and if you give free to others, so what is my loss?"
Madhudvisa: "No, there is no loss."
Siddha-svarupa: "I'm not giving away his books."
Prabhupada: "No, no, even if he gives away, this is not a fault, You see? Suppose there are... in South Africa many Indians are purchasing our books and giving to the library. So somebody will read it. So that is not a fault. If I purchase from you and give it, distribute it free to somebody else, that is not wrong thing."

(Morning walk, Mayapur, 08. 03.1976.)
