"The dancer remains in a state of not knowing – he forgets all his skill, he forgets all the techniques that he has learnt, he forgets himself, he is utterly lost, he is in the hands of God. He cannot even say, 'I am dancing,' he can only say 'God has taken possession of me, I am possessed. God is dancing in me. I am the field where God is dancing, I am the hollow bamboo and God is singing. He has made a flute of me.'

"The creator knows God – only the creator knows God. All other prayers that you go on doing in the temples and the churches are just impotent, meaningless, unless your life learns how to create. Then no other prayer is needed, then the very phenomenon of creativity is enough religion for you, more than that is unnecessary – you need not go to any church, any temple, any gurudwara, any mosque. You have to go into creativity.

"The question is asked by Gyan Bhakti – she is a creator, hence the question has arisen in her, 'What is this urge to create?' She is possessed by that desire. I have seen it in her, aflame; she wants to explode in many, many ways, she wants to create. God has knocked at her door, but when the knock comes it is natural not to understand it because we have never heard it before, it is so new it cannot be reduced to our old mind. It is coming from the unknown – there is no way to figure out what it is, hence the question.

"Go with the unknown, go with the new. Always remember: if there is a choice between the old and the new choose the new. However dangerous it is, however insecure it is, choose the new, and you will be always moving closer and closer to God. Choose the old, and you will be moving away from God. Choose the old mind and you will sooner or later become destructive. These are the only two ways to live: either be creative or be destructive. There is no other possibility, there is no third possibility. If your energies are not moving into creation they will still be moving, but then they will become destructive: destruction is creativity standing on its head, something has gone wrong, something has taken a wrong turn."
