What is the role of creativity in goodness? Actually, goodness is more of centered on ideas. Passion is centered more on things.
In goodness, you want to control ideas, organize ideas, systematize ideas. In passion, you want to control things, organize things, present things, manipulate things. And in ignorance, we can’t even control things, even our ideas.
It’s all just imagination, your dreams, fantasies. So, people play video games. It’s all imaginary control.
So, anyway, the point is, in goodness, in general, creativity can happen for me. In writing, new ideas come for writing. If you are presenting the philosophy, then if you are teaching the philosophy, you are presenting the philosophy.
New ideas, new ways of presenting. There can be new terms in the way we speak, new concepts. New ideas or new thoughts.
That is one direct way which will directly connect with Krishna consciousness. But apart from that, even in our profession, now we say, we are more moving from a rural economy to an industrial economy to a services economy. Most people are focused more on service.
It can be in a passion, but it can be in goodness also. Generally, people, you will see that if people behave politely, generally like. So, in our profession, how creativity can manifest in goodness, that may vary.
But the whole idea is, creativity in goodness is generating ideas. That’s the first thing. But generation of ideas can also be used for some other That’s the second thing.
Like Prabhupada says that the author, the scientist and the philosopher, they are in goodness. And that’s the broad concept. But then there can be authors who are writing novels about romance and sex.
So now, are they in goodness or are they in passion? Actually, their literary activity, the activity of writing is in goodness. But the subject about which they are writing is in passion. So, there are multiple levels there.
So, to some extent, if we work in the field of ideals, then it is, we have a lot of room for creativity. Some devotees take up professions as teachers. Even if one is teaching subjects which are not necessarily transcendental, which are a bit passionate like engineering, or they work on their own passion.
But still, the activity of teaching involves a certain number of units. So, in that sense, according to a profession, if we can get to work more in ideals, then we have room for creativity, adapting the ideas, presenting the ideas, managing the ideas, coming up with ideas also. Is that related to what you are asking? Yeah, that’s true.
That’s right. Thank you. Thank you very much.
