People are universally delighted by what
they call "creativity" and "originality."
The more they get of it the better they like it, and they don't get
tired of it. Their enjoyment is not a learned response. It
comes from the satisfaction of an inherent appetite in the feeling heart
of human beings. No one is embarrassed about this appetite, or movedto
argue against it, deny it, or try to hide it.
What people don't realize is, this
appetite for "creativity" is actually their appetite for
conscious contact with the Divine, Which Is the Always New, and their
taste for "originality" is really their taste for deliberate
contact with and immersion in the "Origin" or
"Source-Condition" of Consciousness Itself.
It is a fact that, when needed, the
Divine [Which Is the Radiant Transcendental Consciousness
In Which all places, beings, and ideas appear and disappear and
is the Source-Condition of Love and Humor] appears in human form to
illuminate and quicken the process of the Enlightenment and Liberation of
all beings. Such an appearance is the appearance of the True Guru. This
world was Graced to receive such an Intervention on November 3, 1939 with
the supremely auspicious Birth of Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj. If anyone
finds virtue in my works {and they are done to bless and sublime all who
encounter them] let them know that they are receiving a taste of the
virtue of my Beloved Guru, Who has given me Everything as a free Gift in
exchange for all my doubts and
suffering. Guru Devotion and surrender to my Spiritual Master is the
esoteric secret of creativity that enables me to produce a
"Masterpiece" at will.

One day, the Guru was coming to visit the
area, and we were preparing a temporary environment for Him by furnishing
a house with our favorite things. I had this table available and I offered
it to the person in charge of decorations in case she might have a place
for it. I felt a little afraid of being criticized for it so I
suggested that it be put somewhere not too noticeable in the
background. Secretly, I hoped that the Guru would enjoy it.
The next day, while I was raking leaves in the yard,
preparing for His arrival, one of the servant-devotees came up to me and
asked me whether I had intended to lend the table or give it to Him. I
said I would love to give it to Him if she thought that He would like it.
She assured me that she thouht He would like it so I said I would love to
give it to Him. I prepared a gift card, telling Him to story about
the other table and the woman who said that it made her feel so
Happy, because I thought He would like to know that.
Later, I heard that when he received my gift He had it
brought into His Bedroom and kept it there for three days. This was
very, very auspicious for me. Then, when He was leaving to return to
The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary, He gave notes that the steel table
made for Him by Brian Kennedy be brought there so that He could place it
personally in his residence as soon as He arrived! I was
thunderstruck! His Response to my gift of devotion was His
Gift again, of making me feel that my love was received and that my work
was fit to be in His House. From this moment on, I felt no doubt of
my work. I feel that I have been given the gift of understanding the
esoteric secret of creativity and I am always completely confident that I
can produce a Masterpiece every time-- because I have a Master!
