ART & MEDITATION

This desire to share becomes creativity. Somebody can
dance. There have been mystics - for example, Jalaluddin Rumi - whose teaching
was not in words, whose teaching was in dance. He will dance. His disciples
will be sitting by his side, and he will tell them, "Anybody who feels
like joining me can join. It is a question of feeling. If you don't feel like,
it is up to you. You can simply sit and watch."
But when you see a man like Jalaluddin Rumi dancing, something dormant
in you becomes active. In spite of yourself you find you have joined the dance.
You are already dancing before you become aware that you have joined it.
Even this experience is of tremendous value, that you have been pulled
like a magnetic force. It has not been your mind decision, you have not weighed
for pro and for against, to join or not to join, no. Just the beauty of Rumi's
dance, his spreading energy, has taken possession of you. You are being
touched. This dance is objective art.
And if you can continue - and
slowly you will become more and more unembarrassed, more and more capable -
soon you will forget the whole world. A moment comes, the dancer disappears and
only the dance remains.
