Spiritually true creativity is growing from within. Indulging in books when students ran after marks, good grading and not wisdom, we were not growing from within.
One who comes first in the class is a student who always indulges in the subject deep within. Externally indulging in books for the sake of numbers meant nothing.
Class after class we must grow from within, we must become intelligent in the journey of life.
The prime reason why only very few creative minds in India bagged the coveted Nobel Prize is, most students in India always ran after marks, not the real wisdom inside.
Our brain grows from within only when we contemplated (indulged in chintan) on the subject. Just reading through for the sake of finishing the subject does not mean anything.
All intelligent students always indulged in all subjects via contemplation (chintan) all the time. Only then they could reach the hidden underlying meaning of the subject.
Creativity is life, prime reason why human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. Sitting on the highest platform of life we just could not become a slave to our destiny, our karma. We must become creative all the time so that our brain gets activated the most.
Normal human beings used their brain 1 to 2% whereas enlightened ones activated their brain to full 100% capacity. Intelligent scientists like Einstein used his brain 2 to 4%. Spirituality is the only path that resulted in full activation of brain but it also leads us away from the society.
A very thin line separates an intelligent one from going bonkers. There are many cases in India of intelligent people going mad because they could not control their emotions, the extra energy generated in their brain.
