"Attention is the greatest creative power in the world. If you have command on your attention, you have command on your creation/life. But attention is not same as mind rut/thinking but it constitutes pure awareness in the background. We invite greatest problems by being restless with our own ideas about the state of reality. The greatest creative act is to stabilize in a mental environment where relaxed attitude takes over and everything is trusted for what is rather than individual interpretation or evaluation of the things. I suggest you to practice the YOGA of being relaxed here and now and this itself will eliminate all your mental problems. 95% of the problems are your own mental creation with the background of fear. The antidote for this is tune to a state being rather than doing which ground of creativity. When you stay in the ground of creativity, you become creative. Creativity is an art of creating with a flow in the relaxed mental background. You should be careful and vigilant against 1.Restlessness is an obstacle. Relax. 2.Relaxed in being and doing will happen on its own/spontaneously. But if you run after doing, being is lost which is centre which hold on everything. 3.Your own ideas of what is should be and the resulting fight between what is and what should be. 4.Man is most often lost because of being to restless for answers and futile hope and being lost in his own ideas of reality without substance. Your ideas have no power without awareness. 5.Strip off as much thinking as possible to come to flow which is creative background and power. 6.Empty yourself and you will fall back on transcendental awareness. 7.Anything that cost you awareness is not worth attending. Anything that takes away flow from your life is detrimental. 8.Always fall back on objectless creative attention which will keep you lucid and flowing. 9.All the extremism has fear at its root and and one should be careful about extreme thinking or behavior. Be natural and loose. 10.The greater you can step out of everyday mind and be watchful in the original mind; greater will be your stability. 11.Do not think or imagine all the time but relax and let the thinking or imagining evolve from the deep background of relaxed state of consciousness. 12.Understand that attention is greatest power that you have. Do not short change it with anything else. 13.No idea is more important than your balance or relaxed state of being. The background which creates centre in you. Stay tuned to your inner centre and all the decisions and action would be right. 14.If can not be relaxed, you have opened up a factory of problems. If your actions originate in the flow, they are headed right without the requirement of your interpretation. Author: Santosh Kunte –Mumbai India.
