Questioner:  How about the creative process?  What about wanting to lose yourself in the process?  It seems to be partly the desire to create and partly the desire to lose yourself.  Which one is it?  Is it both, or it it neither?

A quote from Sadhguru, an enlightened, yogi an alchemist, mystic and profound modern day humanitarian

“Maybe what I am about to say is going to be very insulting to you, but I want you to really look deeper into this.  You cannot create anything here.  Creation has happened and it is perfect.  You can play with creation.  You really cannot create anything.  Please look at it sincerely.  Man may believe that he has created many things, but you are just turning and twisting what is already there

There is a good joke about this.  In the twenty-first century, about fifty years hence, let us say, the scientists of the world met and said

“Now that science has evolved sufficiently we can manage the world on our own.  We can create everything ourselves.  We created a “Dolly” and we can create an Austin.  We can do whatever we want.  We can create life and you know e are already capable of destroying it. So it is time that God retires.  Why is he still messing around with us?  We can run the world, and we can even create a new world if we want.  We can create human beings also. So let him retire”

So a committee of scientists went to heaven, got an appointment with God, met him and said  “old Man, it is time you retired.  You have done a good job, all right.  But you know at some point everybody's time is up.  Everybody retires.  We are capable of doing anything.  You know a hundred years ago we created Dolly.  Today we can create anything we want.

Then God asked.  Oh you can create life also?

Yes, if you want we will take this mud and make a man out of it.  The scientist picked up the mud from the ground and said “ Come on, bringing the mobile laboratory.  Let us make a man out of this mud.

And God said  NO no  Make your own mud.

You are not creating anything.  You are twisting creation this way and that way as it is convenient and useful for you.  From a simple caveman who made a pot out of clay to whatever you are making – missiles, rockets and spaceships... it is still the same process.  You are still molding life, molding what is available into different forms, but you are not really creating anything.  It is all there.  You are just rearranging it a little bit.

So there is no creativity in you.  You cannot create.  Leave that to the creator.  He has done a good job.  You can trust him.  You are just playing with life.  When you want to play, play your game in such a way that it is truly enjoyable for yourself and everybody around you.
