Creativity and Spirituality

An idle mind can never be creative. For creativity to flourish, the mind must always be active. Hunger for knowledge fuels creativity because knowledge generates ideas within the mind. Such ideas in turn give rise to creative impulse.

The manner in which the mind knows things differs from person to person. Driven by the creative impulse, imaginative power and the manner in which the mind has registered the objects, the creator starts to fiddle with those ideas which get refined further and further as a result of its passage through very complex mental processes. The very complexity of these mental processes depends upon ones' intellect. Ultimately a form comes in mind, which has some aesthetic value. Now the person proceeds to give that ultimate idea a concrete form. A creation may take any form, shape or size.

A creation consists of two primary aspects:

1. The Outward appearance

2. The Inner significance

It is the inner significance that is more important in a creative work.

Creativity depends on how the mind relates itself to the outer world and interacts with it to draw refined inferences. This process of refinement has no limit. It can never be limited by any outer impact.

Creativity takes its highest form when it is regarded as the same as worshipping the God. Creation is nothing but making offerings to the God. It is to recognize the wish of God as to why he was sent to this world. This takes the creator closer to the God and makes him spiritual. Spirituality is an ultimate or immaterial reality, an inner path allowing a person to discover the true essence of his being. It helps a person to find the deepest values and meanings by which he lives. Thus creative people are surely more spiritual and psychic. Through his urge for creation he realizes and understands why he has come to this world, what is the task he should accomplish before he leaves this world. Thus creativity gives birth to and nourishes spirituality.

A psychic is a person who has the ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through extrasensory perception because of their imaginative power.
