Creativity is a very paradoxical state of conciousness and being. It is action through inaction, it is what Lao Tzu calls wei-wu-wei. It is allowing something to happen through you. It is not doing, it is an allowing. It is becoming a passage so the whole can flow through you. It is becoming a hollow bamboo, just a hollow bamboo.

And then immediately something starts happening, because hidden behind man is God. Just give him a little way, a little passage, to come through you. That is creativity-allowing God to happen is creativity.

Creativity simply means you are in a total relaxation-because out of relaxation much action will be born. But that will not be your doing, you will be just a vehicle. A song will start coming through you.-you are not the creator of it. It always comes from the beyond. When you create it, it is just ordinary, mundane. When it comes through you it has superb beauty, it brings something of the unknown in it.
