Be Creative
Be Creative the same thing with another anecdote.
It is said about a Zen master that he was able to pull very big rocks, remove very big rocks – and he was a very fragile man. It was almost impossible looking at his physiology! Stronger men, very much stronger than him, were unable to pull those rocks and he would simply pull them very easily.
He was asked what his trick was. He said, “There is no trick – I love the rocks so the rock helps. First I say to her, ‘Now my prestige is in your hands and these people have come to watch. Now help me, cooperate with me.’ Mm? – then I simply hold the rock lovingly… and wait for the hint. When the rock gives me the hint – it is a shudder, my whole spine starts vibrating – when the rock gives me the hint that she is ready, then I move. You move against the rock; that’s why so much energy is needed. I move with the rock, I flow with the rock. In fact, it is wrong to say that I remove it – I am simply there. The rock removes itself.”
Don’t pull and push things. Watch, communicate; take their help – and much energy will be preserved. Even trees are creative, rocks are creative. You are man: the very culmination of this existence. You are at the top – you are conscious. Never think with wrong beliefs, and never be attached to wrong beliefs, that you are uncreative. Maybe your father said to you that you are uncreative, your colleagues said to you that you are uncreative. Maybe you were searching in wrong directions, in directions in which you are not creative, but there must be a direction in which you are creative. Seek and search and remain available and go on groping – unless you find it.
Each man comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The Whole intends to do something through you.
This is the key to Be Creative. If you are creative stress cannot touch you. Everyone of us had an experience that when we do any activity out of sheer joy, we are more energetic afterwards.
