Poetic Inspiration and Yoga

For some time past the inspiration has stopped.

You must remember that you are not a “born” poet – you are trying to bring out something from the Unmanifest inside you. You can't demand that that should be an easy job. It may come out suddenly and without apparent reason like the Ananda – but you can't demand it.
