Question

Hello. Yesterday I asked a question, but perhaps I did not put it well, so I will give more information. For some time I have wanted to publish a book. A publisher accepted it and gave me a contract that has now expired without being fulfilled. I have seen that the literary world is very complicated and that interests unrelated to art’s spiritual purpose are at work. But publishing is very important to me, and I feel cheated of my expectations. I have come to wonder whether this desire to publish is a matter of ego, and sometimes I think it is. But then, when I think I must accept my lot as it is, I wonder what sense it makes to write only for myself, since if I have been given a gift, it is only right to share it with the world. I face this conflict and would be very grateful if Master Kosen could give me an answer when he can. Greetings, and thank you.
