“The creativity that comes from silence, from a quiet heart, feels different from that of ambition to both the creator and the observer. When the artist or the worker is out of the way, both the creator and the observer experience the art as simply a gift, an expression of the impersonal intelligence shared by all. The creator has no need to take credit for it, the observer no need to possess it.” WayNeedsFeelsHeartArtDifferentArtistSilenceCreativityExpressionQuietAmbitionWorkersCreatorCreditObserversQuiet Heart Book:Passionate Presence Source: Passionate Presence
“Usually when I draw, I try to be in a contemplative mood. I try to keep my mind as empty, vacant and tranquil as possible. The outer mind is like the surface of the sea. On the surface, the sea is full of waves and surges; it is all restlessness. But when we dive deep below, the same sea is all peace, calmness and quiet, and there we find the source of creativity.” TryingMindCreativitySeaSourceQuietDrawsEmptyWaveSurfaceMoodCalmnessRestlessnessTranquilContemplativeVacant Author:Sri Chinmoy

“Meditation gives you two things: equanimity and creativity. And it does that by taking one from their conscious mind, where there's all that noise and chaos and so on, into the subconscious mind where there's quiet and where creativity emanates from. You have a mantra, and when you repeat it over and over again, all those thoughts go away because you shift them to that mantra. And then eventually that sound disappears, and then you're left not conscious or unconscious - you're left in this subconscious state, and by opening that up, first of all you get control of it.” GivingMindCreativityMeditationQuietConsciousChaosDisappearUnconsciousGoing AwaySubconsciousEquanimitySubconscious Mind Author:Ray Dalio
