Rajneesh Quotes About Creativity

• To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

  Rajneesh

  Life, Dance, Mean

• Life in itself is an empty canvas; it becomes whatsoever you paint on it. You can paint misery, you can paint bliss. This freedom is your glory.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Misery, Canvas

• Love is power, the purest power and the greatest power: Love is God. Nothing can be higher than that. But this power is not a desire to enslave others, this power is not a destructive force. This power is the very source of creation. This power is creativity. And this power will transform you totally into a new being. It has no concern with anybody. Its whole concern is to bring your seeds to their ultimate flowering.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Love Is, Desire

• God is the very creative energy of existence - creativity rather than a creator. He is not the poet but the poetry, not the dancer but the dance, not the flower but the fragrance.

  Rajneesh

  Flower, Creativity, Dancer

• A really spiritual person will live life as an art, will create a deep harmony between the body and the consciousness. And this is the greatest art there is. His life will be a joy to see. And he will be fragrant, for the sheer reason that there is no split in his being. The very unity makes him organic; the wound of division is healed.

  Rajneesh

• Creativity itself is divine. Creativity itself is godliness.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Divine, Godliness

• God is the creativity, so if you really want to enter into the world of God you will have to learn the ways of creativity - and that has disappeared. Instead of creativity we value productivity: we talk about how to produce more. Production can give you things but cannot give you values. Production can make you rich outwardly but it will impoverish you inwardly. Production is not creation. Production is very mediocre; any stupid person can do it, one simply needs to learn the knack of it.

  Rajneesh

  Stupid, Creativity, Giving

• You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.

  Rajneesh

• Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Creating, Needs

• Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how you look at things . . . Whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, if your act of doing is not purely economical, then it is creative.

  Rajneesh

  Art, Attitude, Creativity

• When ambition enters, creativity disappears - because an ambitious man cannot be creative, because an ambitious man cannot love any activity for its own sake. While he is painting he is looking ahead; he is thinking, 'When am I going to get a Nobel Prize?' When he is writing a novel, he is looking ahead. He is always in the future - and a creative person is always in the present.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Ambition, Writing

• If you love money and you want to be creative, you cannot become creative. The very ambition for money is going to destroy your creativity. If you want fame, then forget about creativity. Fame comes easier if you are destructive.

  Rajneesh

  Money, Creativity, Ambition

• Creativity has nothing to do with any activity in particular - with painting, poetry, dancing, singing. It has nothing to do with anything in particular. Anything can be creative - you bring that quality to the activity. Activity itself is neither creative nor uncreative. You can paint in an uncreative way. You can sing in an uncreative way. You can clean the floor in a creative way. You can cook in a creative way. Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how you look at things.

  Rajneesh

  Attitude, Creativity, Dancing

• Creativity has nothing to do with creating something, creativity is simply the presence of God. Those who are fortunate enough to come in contact with a buddha`s silence will be transformed; they will know what creativity is. He has not done a thing and miracles have happened. He has not uttered a word and the message has been heard. He has not moved, but he has transformed you. He has not even touched you, and you are no longer the same.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Creating, Silence

• Another significant point to remember: if you witness anything - fear, anger, hate - they will disappear, leaving a tremendous amount of energy in you which you can use for creativity. You will have to use it, the leaking holes have disappeared; you will be overflowing with energy. But if you witness your love, compassion, kindness, humbleness, they will not disappear. They also have tremendous energy, but the more you witness them, the more they will become strong in you; they will overpower you, overwhelm you.

  Rajneesh

  Strong, Kindness, Hate

• Creativity means enjoying any work as meditation; doing any work with deep love.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Mean, Deep Love

• God is nothing but creativity. So wherever there is a sign of creativity, God has a signature there. He has already been there. Maybe even the poet does not know, but he has been touched by something from the beyond.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Signatures, Doe

• In meditation, whatever happens is bound to be expressed in creativity.

  Rajneesh

• The highest art one can learn is the art of loving, and that the ultimate creativity and the highest art are born out of a knack - meditation.

  Rajneesh

  Art, Creativity, Meditation

• When a man's life becomes poetry, becomes a song, becomes a work of art, a creativity, he has become a sannyasin. Whether he knows it or not, it does not matter. The word 'sannyas' does not matter; what matters is the content.

  Rajneesh

  Song, Art, Creativity

• Creativity means loving whatsoever you do - enjoying, celebrating it, as a gift of God!

  Rajneesh

  Inspirational, Creativity, Mean

• Be creative in that sense and your creativity will become an offering to God. God has given you so many gifts, Garima; something HAS to be done just in deep thankfulness. But remember: with no motive, not as a means but as an end unto itself. Art for art's sake, and creation for creation's sake, and love for love's sake, and prayer for prayer's sake.

  Rajneesh

  Art, Prayer, Creativity

• Creativity means you have to disappear, you have to allow God to be.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Mean, Disappear

• God is not repetitive; His creativity is infinite.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Infinite, Repetitive

• It is a totally different creativity I am talking about. A Taj Mahal... just watching it on a full moon night, and great meditation is bound to arise in you. Or the temples of Khajuraho, Konarak, Puri - just meditating on them and you will be surprised that all your sexuality is transformed into love. They are miracles of creativity. They were not created by pathological people, they were created by those who had attained.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Night, Moon
