Quotes About Inspiration

The True Self quietly observes the playground where thoughts take form, where games are played, and the gunas obeyed. These are the laws of light, activity, and inertia … of inspiration, action, and obstacles. The gunas are those things that can be known. Your mind ponders all their qualities, mistaking these for reality, for they gave birth to the mind. But the Self remains unmoved by the noise in the playground.

Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how.
