Whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, if your act of doing it is not purely economical, then it is creative.
If you have something growing out of it within you, if it gives you growth, it is #spiritual, it is #creative, it is #divine.

Creativity has nothing to do with any activity in particular – with painting, poetry, dancing, singing. It has nothing to do with anything in particular.
Anything can be creative – you bring that quality to the activity. Activity itself is neither creative nor uncreative.

Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach – how you look at things.
Don’t confine creativity to anything in particular.

If your act is your love affair, then it becomes creative. Small things become great by a touch of love and delight.
When ambition enters, creativity disappears – because an ambitious man cannot be creative, because an ambitious man cannot love any activity for its own sake.

A creative act enhances the beauty of the world; it gives something to the world, it never takes anything from it.
A creative person comes into the world, enhances the beauty of the world. He makes the world dance/enjoy/love/meditate better.
Not everybody may know him, that is not the point. But he leaves the world tremendously fulfilled, his life has been of some intrinsic value.

Be creative. Don’t be worried about what you are doing – one has to do many things – but do everything creatively, with devotion.
Then your work becomes worship. Then whatsoever you do is a prayer. And whatsoever you do is an offering at the altar.

The greater a person is, the more time it takes for people to him because there are no criteria to judge him by, no maps.
He has to create his own values; by the time he has created the values, he is gone. People take many years to recognize him or perhaps, never.

Don't seek something else in the name of creativity. At least consciously, deliberately, do whatsoever you want to do. Never hide behind masks. If you really want to be creative, then there is no question of money, success, prestige, respectability – then you enjoy your activity.
If you do any activity with love, you have done an invisible painting. You lived that moment in such delight that it has given you some inner growth. You cannot be the same after a creative act.
