If you are aware, you speak with awareness. But the awareness comes from the inward being. It flows from the inner being towards others.
Only very few people are born with awareness. Those are the people who die in awareness. If the death was conscious, then the birth will be conscious, because the death is the one side and the birth is the other side of the same coin.
Sinners live in a sort of hell, and saints imagine themselves in a sort of heaven. And the sage? – for him it is moksha, for him it is the absolute freedom. He is freed from all duality. The secret key, and the only key, is awareness.
The ego is nothing but condensed unawareness. When you become aware by and by that condensed unawareness we call ‘ego’ disappears. Just as if you bring a lamp into the room – and the darkness disappears. Awareness is the lamp, the lamp we were talking about the first day. Be a lamp unto yourself.
The technique of positive thinking is not a technique that transforms you. It is simply repressing the negative aspects of your personality. It is a method of choice. It cannot help awareness; it goes against awareness. Awareness is always choiceless.
Truth is pure awareness.
Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness.
Whatever you choose you will repent because the other will remain and haunt you. If one needs absolute freedom then choiceless awareness is the only thing.
A creativity that comes out of meditative innocence, of meditative purity. And a real creator is possible only through meditation.
An intelligent man, a man who has a little meditative consciousness, can make his life a beautiful piece of art, can make it so full of love and full of music and full of poetry and full of dance that there are no limitations for it. Life is not hard. It is man’s stupidity that makes it hard.
All creativity is a deep suffering, unless your creativity does not come out of the mind, but out of meditation. When it comes out of meditation, creativity is sharing the joy, sharing the blissfulness that you have. Mind has no joy – it is really a wound, very painful.
All the religions of the world say God is the creator. If he is really the creator, then the only way to meet him will be to become a creator in some measure.
Because there is no ego, God can flow through you; great creativity becomes possible.
Creativity has nothing to do with creating something, creativity is simply the presence of God.
Creativity is always from the beyond.
Creativity is secondary, meditation is basic and fundamental; everything should come out of your meditation. Then it will give you a beatitude, your being a new song, and it will help others to experience something of it. It will depend on their meditativeness.
Creativity means enjoying any work as meditation; doing any work with deep love.
Creativity means you have to disappear, you have to allow God to be.
First, meditation, and then out of meditation comes creativity of its own accord.
God is the source of all creativity. You can be creative only when you are EN RAPPORT with God.
