Create

Even if we aren’t doing anything else, there is just one thing that we MUST do, no matter what. And that is, to CREATE.

The very essence of us, in fact, the whole point of this experience as human beings, is to experience our own creative power. THAT, from which this whole creation has sprung forth, resides in us, to experience the ITSELF. The Creator created and became the Creation itself to experience itself in and through various names and forms. And to truly fulfill this quest, we too have to create.

What to create? Anything -wealth, art, music, poem, written word, a delicious meal, a garden, a pot, a necklace, a cloth – bringing forth into reality, into cognizance of our perception, something that was not there, but is now here because we brought it forth. It need not be anything stupendous or magnificent or perfect or worthy of praise or earn us monetary benefit. The very act of creation for its own sake, simply because we CAN!

When we thus create, we directly connect with the very source of our being -because, after all, we are creations too! The more we create, the stronger our creative power becomes. It will make us see that this entire life, this whole universe has sprung forth from THAT which is also in me and thus, I can create anything as I wish! This implies that we become the master of our life and its experiences and not a helpless victim that we often feel that we are.

Create, because we are here to experience this power of ours. Create -the creation need not make sense to anyone else but us. Create as a means to unlock our full potential. Don’t let the constant distractions of everyday life and virtual life detract us from this immeasurable power and potential that we hold within ourselves. Don’t worry about monetizing the creation because that is just an ingrained capitalistic ideal. Creating is a purely spiritual process that can transform our lives beyond our wildest imagination.

So create! Don’t miss out on this wonderful joyride.
