The art of creative silence

 

Creativity brings a new beginning to “time.” When you are creative, you break the monotony of time. Everything becomes fresh and alive. Creativity brings along with it a new round of enthusiasm. 

Both creative and procreative impulses in nature are associated with enthusiasm. When you are enthusiastic, you are closer to the creative principle of existence. 

Deep silence is the mother of creativity. No creativity can come out of one who is too busy, worried, over-ambitious or lethargic. Balanced activity, rest and yoga can kindle skills and creativity in you.

What's the rush?

 

Often you are in a rush in life. When you are in a rush, you are unable to perceive things properly. 

This takes the charm, thrill and beauty from your life. You can never be close to the truth when you are in a rush because your perception, observation and expression become distorted. 

The rush to enjoy robs the joy from life and only denies the happiness and freedom of here and now. Often you do not even know why you are in a hurry. It almost becomes a biological phenomenon to be in a rush. Wake up and become aware of the rush in you! 

It is ridiculous to be in a rush to slow down. Just be aware of the rush and it will take care of itself. Slowing down does not mean procrastinating or being lethargic, though it is easy to be at the extremes of either rushing or lethargy. 

Rushing is caused by feverishness, and feverishness arises out of deficiency, a need to achieve. Dynamism is an expression of fulfillment. 

The golden rule is to be awake, and when you are awake you cannot help but be dynamic. This moment realize that you are awake.
