Creativity as Meditation
Excerpts from Sri Chinmoy's Book - The Source of Music
Is creativity another form of meditation?
It
depends on what you are creating. If it is spiritual art or music, then
certainly it is a form of meditation. But if you play undivine music
while you are painting, this is not any kind of meditation. While you
are creating, if you are singing something soulful or if you are in a
very high consciousness while you are creating, if you are giving
yourself in a divine way to the object or subject that you are involved
with, then definitely you are doing a form of meditation. You have to
know what you are creating and where your consciousness is while you
are doing it. ~ Sri Chinmoy
