Creation
Each moment we are creating ourselves or rather God is creating Himself in us; but when we create ourselves without God’s Will, ideas, feelings, we break the real Truth. When we create with our mind, with our vital, with our physical life without being aware of what God’s intention is, we can seem to create, but actually in God’s view or in our soul’s view, we are uncreative. When we become the channel of the soul’s will, the soul’s intention, then at times outwardly we may seem to be doing nothing, wasting time, breaking the so-called laws of earthly life, paying no attention to earthly duties. But what we are actually doing is creating something deep in us. What we often do is to create something in us which is not the intention of our soul. We try to create ourselves by fulfilling our desires. God wants us to create His Life in us at every moment, to create His Dream in us consciously. Now when we say that we are God’s creation, if we say it from the mind, we do not actually feel it. We feel it only when we live the life of aspiration. Your creation is you yourself and that creation has to be moulded and guided and perfected by the Supreme in your Guru. It has to grow in the constant guidance of the Supreme. So offer yourself as a flower at the feet of the Supreme and your Guru. Then and only then will your creation be the constant instrument and fulfilment of the Supreme.
