You would like to write a great book; then you will be creative. But a friend has come: a little gossiping is perfectly beautiful. Be creative.
All the great scriptures are nothing but conversations of people who were creative. What do I go on doing here? Conversing. They will become gospels some day, but originally they are conversations. But i enjoy doing them. If you really love something, it is creative.
A man of understanding is continuously creative. Not that he is trying to be creative. The way he sits is a creative act. Watch him sitting. You will find in his movement a certain quality of dance, a certain dignity. Life consists of small things; just your ego goes on saying these are small things. You would like to do some great thing -- great poetry. You would like to become Shakespeare, Kalidas or Milton. It is your ego that is creating the trouble.
Drop the ego and everything is creative. Then everything is tremendously great. If you don't love, then your ego goes on saying, "This is not worthy of you." Cleaning is great. More
