Creativity

“…Remember creativity has nothing to do with any particular work. Creativity has something to do with the quality of your consciousness. Whatsoever you can do can become creative…

…Creativity means enjoying any work as mediation; doing any work with deep love…

…The creativity that you ordinarily know is not the creativity I am talking about. The ordinary creativity is nothing but an ego trip. You want to show to the world that you are somebody — a painter, a sculptor, a poet, a musician. You want to show to the world that you are somebody. Your creativity is not really creativity, it is just the prop to the ego…
… A creative person is one who has insight, who can see things nobody else has even seen before, who hears things that nobody has heard before — then there is creativity…

… Humanity has come now to a crossroads. We have lived the one – dimensional man, we have exhausted it. We need now call more enriched human being, three – dimensional. I call them there C’s, just like three R’s — the first C is consciousness, the second C is compassion, the third C is creativity…

… Consciousness is being, compassion is feeling, creativity is action. My vision of the new human being has to be all the three simultaneously. I am giving you the greatest challenge ever given, the hardest task to be fulfilled. You have to be as meditative as a Buddha as loving as a Krishna , as creative as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci. You have to be all together, simultaneously. Only then your totality will be fulfilled; otherwise something will remain missing in you. And that which is missing in you will keep you lopsided, unfulfilled. You can attain a very high peak if you are one – dimensional, but you will be only a peak. I would like you to become the whole range of the Himalayas , not just a peak but peaks upon peaks…
… Buddha has the beauty of being unearthly, but he does not have the beauty that Zorba the Greek has. Zorba is so earthly. I would like you to be both together– Zorba the Buddha. One has to be meditative but not against feeling…

… Relaxation comes only when there is no ‘must’ in your life. Relaxation is not only of the body, it is not only of the mind, it is of your total being…

… The mind should remain alive and creative, and yet should be capable of moving into silence whenever it wants to. That’s mastery. When you want to think, you can think; when you don’t want to think, you can go into non – thinking. A real master is one who can do both…

… Energy is good, energy is delight, energy is divine. Once energy is released one can become creative. It brings intelligence, creativity, sensitivity, it brings all that is beautiful…

… The very effort to “become” is a barrier — because you are already carrying your being with you. You need not become anything — simply realize who you are, that’s all. Simply realize who is hidden within you…

… Nature gives everybody energy which is creative. It become destructive only when it is obstructed. when no natural flow is allowed…

… The essence of wisdom is to be in harmony with nature, with the natural rhythm of the universe. And whenever you are in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe you are a poet, you are a painter, you are a musician, you are a dancer…”
