It is not a question of what you do, it is a question of how you do it. And ultimately it is a question whether you do it or you allow it to happen.

Activity is your escape from yourself. In action you are; in activity you have escaped from yourself—it is a drug. In activity you forget yourself, and when you forget yourself there

larger humanity.

When you are creative, desires disappear. When you are creative, ambitions disappear. When you are creative, you are already that which you always wanted to be.

That’s the paradox of creativity. If you see a painter painting, certainly he is active, utterly active, madly active—he is all action. Or if you see a dancer dancing, he is all action. But still, deep down there is no actor, no doer; there is only silence. Hence I say creativity is a state of paradox. All beautiful states are paradoxical. The

Nature gives everybody energy which is creative. It becomes destructive only when it is obstructed, when no natural flow is allowed.

The mind should remain alive and creative, and yet should be capable of moving into silence whenever it wants to. Thats mastery. When you want to think, you can think; when you don’t want to think, you can go into non-thinking. A real

master is one who can do both.

After going through psychoanalysis you become less burdened, you become more natural, you are more in harmony with nature and with yourself. That is the meaning of being healthy.
