life and death...

There are many who think, "Nothing more for me to do, I’m just moving towards death"! If that’s the case you would have been dead long back even before you can think of this. Normally people who are too ambitious their desires are never satisfied with small expressive work that they can do immediately. Because they feel that their work or creative expression is too small and limited when compared to the big giants who have accomplished huge credits behind them. Pure expression of creation is withheld due to ego problems of the mind, such as internal fear of criticism, fear of non acceptance, fear of failure so on. Once the mind considers itself too inferior to others a state of non doing settles down, this state of non doing is very different form the state of non doing of a master, who really is the master of consciousness. Moment to moment creative expression though seem like drops of water will transform into a big ocean which IS the flow of universe itself, one has to embrace this natural growth. However apparently insignificant, the smallest flower blooms and participates totally in the 'universal flow'. The decline of pure creative expression conforming to the universal flow, gives birth to other negative virtues like greed, anger and fear. Allow life, allow death, and allow the universal flow. "The Mighty Oak was once just a small nut that held its ground."

showing off will help!

Creation is good... but why showing off? Why that inherent tendency of sharing the creation with people around? Because the reason of creation is mutual not individual. One can understand this when he sees creation as it is, as a whole. Nature creating itself. When we discriminate and see as "I create" then it is followed by need for sharing, opinions of others, appreciation, comparison and all the ego gratification around it. To know this, try showing off your creation to somebody who can give a bad or good opinion about it and carefully observe tendencies, emotions and reactions that follow, that would create a tumble on your creation the next moment...this happened when i tumbled after showing this blog to my dearest master, who spends lot of time making me wise.

create and forget!

What is one supposed to do in this world? In this endless universe that keeps creating and expanding, all that happens is more and more creation, why then destruction? obviously to facilitate more creation. Creation becomes impure when intent is on acceptance, recognition, fame, money etc. creation has to be for the sake of creation! so create and forget. Because if you cling to your creation that obstructs further creation. Any obstruction of creation causes fear, suffering, anget, rejection, depresson etc! So just create and be blissful!
