I feel that if you know who you are, what others think of you shouldn't bother you. You seem so much at peace with yourself. I am a believer in the Ultimate. The whole universe is controlled by a power and I believe in this power. If you are believer in this power and choose the people whom you are with and follow the examples of good lives, you will have a peaceful life.
Frustration is the most dangerous thing in life.
Have belief in the Ultimate, constantly work at being good and you will have peace within yourself. My second son Vijay learns Western music in Florida. He likes Carnatic music also. He wants to learn more about the relationship between the two musical traditions. I am sure, with my background in Carnatic music, I can help him on this.
