Human creativity is inspired by the universe. Human creativity requires the raw materials provided by the universe as its building block
A group of scientists thought they could do anything everything. They challenged God, 'Now you are unnecessary. Whatever you do, we can do. We can even clone human beings. What do you say? Now we can also develop whatever you have created on earth. Our department has developed everything.' God was surprised to see all the scientists' creations—the sizes of the bananas, and other fruits they had created, and so forth! The scientists then challenged God to a competition. 'Come face us. We will do whatever you do. We are better than you; you can go and rest. We don't need you anymore.' God agreed to face the scientists. God created a plant, and immediately the scientists created the same plant in a better way. One by one, they created the same thing God created. Suddenly, God took a little dust and created a man.
The scientists said, 'This is not a big deal, now that we have the ability to clone.' They took some dust and were about to create a man. God said 'Stop. Bring your own dust and create. Don't use My dust!' Whatever we may achieve, wherever science may go, the Divine is alive. God exists and Cosmic intelligence runs this whole Universe. We cannot create dust! It has to be God's dust!
The basic building block responsible for all of creation is the supreme cosmic intelligence. The divine energy is the cause and effect of this whole Universe.
- 1. The topic of discussion is "A cognitive shift from "me" to "you" is necessary to experience the truth "Aham Brahmasmi" (I am God).
When we believe that we are the cause of this Universe, we are locked in our own little identities, we do cruel and selfish acts and destroy the world and ourselves. When we understand that the divine energy is the cause and effect of this whole Universe, we experience the whole world as part of us. There is no longer the duality of 'I' and 'You'. Both merge into non-duality of "either 'I' or 'You'; it does not matter"
