Creativity: The Way of Living
by This shows we all are blessed with creativity and we need only to let it come out.
Creativity is not such a thing that we can learn from others. Although other may be the source of inspiration, but the seed is lying within the individual. It can not be brought or borrowed from outside. Its ultimate source is very eternal, directly pouring out from our heart. It sprouts easily from a man who is natural and child like. In fact we all are blessed with it by birth but paradoxically we lose this very natural quality due to our unnatural way of living. For me creativity means to work playfully and joyously without any time bounded compulsion or without any external pressure. It is not a matter of skill or knowledge but it’s a matter of our beautiful imaginations that are deeply rooted in to our heart. For example, if I wish to sketch a beautiful picture, I need not to be a good painter.
At first the thing I have to do is, to just let my fingers play on canvas. One day the painter within me will come out automatically, because it is always there. It is he who is wishing to express his feelings. I am only the medium to let the feelings come out. I can recall the day I turned to write on this subject. It was because of my little daughter Anshu who any how managed to snatch my latter pad to paint it all colorful while I was taking a nap in my study room.
Although it made me a little angry but soon I realized that the paintings were good enough to be painted by her little fingers. Overwhelmed with joy, she yelled, “Papa see, how beautiful these flowers are! “ She was dancing with her little piece of painting and I was gradually coming down to my heart. Really those timeless moments were beyond any verbal expression. I was completely relaxed and unburdened of those rubbish thoughts that usually floated in my mind.
That was the miracle done by a little girl who fortunately got her way to my study room. Here I would like to say that age does not matter. Like the little girl we all can let it grow within our heart. It is not just about painting, or composing a catchy song, it is about the way we live our life. It is our God gifted virtue that makes us feel born again. Come on! Let our life be all colorful and kindled with creativity.
