Osho continues:
"The moment you are creative you are part of it, and the people who are not creative remain separate from the flow of existence. And the people who are destructive are not only separate, but they are against existence. They are the real sinners.
"The only virtue worth calling virtue is creativity. What you create does not matter, but it should enhance life, beautify existence, make living more joyous, the song a little more juicy, the love a little more glorious – and the life of a creator starts becoming part of eternity and immortality.
"Zarathustra is talking about the way of the creator. Millions of people live, but they don't create anything. And it is one of the fundamentals of life that unless you create – it may be a painting, a song, a dance – you cannot be blissful, you will remain in misery. Only creativity brings to you your dignity. It helps you to blossom in your fullness.
"A painter is absolutely alone in his vision.
"A dancer is absolutely alone in his dance.
"One of the great dancers, Nijinsky, was asked once, 'You dance before big audiences – don't you feel nervous?' He said, 'As far as I am concerned, I feel nervous, but only to the point before the dance starts. Once I am in my dance I am absolutely alone, there is nobody else. Not only do others disappear, a moment comes sometimes, and that is the greatest moment, when I myself disappear – only the dance remains.'
"This has been observed about Nijinsky, by scientists, that there were some moments when he would jump so high that it was not physically possible, because of gravitation."

My brother, do you want to go apart and be alone?"The creator cannot be part of the crowd. The creator has to learn to be alone, to go apart, to learn the beauty of solitude, because only in that space your potential starts changing into actuality.
Do you want to seek the way to yourself?"The way of the creator ultimately leads you to yourself, because you are going away from the crowd, away from the mass – you are going into aloneness.
