The only thing constant in this world is change

Another post coming up. People have told me that I should come out of the ashram,come back to bangalore,live and work there, enjoy the city life.But I dont understand how that is better than my contented life back here in the ashram? What is better? The city life or the ashram life. In the city , you get to meet your friends with different mindsets, not much talk about god and spirituality. Spirituality is like a hobby or a passion in the city. People are tied up with many things and dont have much time to do their sadhana.But the money is good and u get your addictions satisfied.Its good if your not overly concerned about god,what is happiness and probing deep within yourself.
 Ashram life on the other hand is great for spirituality.You might crave for a burger or pizza,but there is inner contentment and happiness if you look inward.It is very difficult to learn contentment , but ashram life is one among the very few places where you learn it.Materially it might not be beneficial,but it is the best place to go inward.You might be materially poor, but there is contentment . This is what makes ashram life great. There is the other aspect of ashram life. That aspect is Amma. She is the one who makes anything possible.But coming back to the city life vs. ashram life, it boils down to what you want.I have chosen ashram life for now, and would like to lead this life for the rest of my life.
