I(t) Create(s)

By Ratish Iyer

Mighty undoubtedly are the silent ones Brewing strength within invisible Provoked if may be the silence once Silent powers then prove invincible...
...Enlightenment is the journey; not the seeking. It is not about becoming; but simply being. - Excerpts from the book.
I(t) Create(s) combines two statements: I create. It creates. Creation comes from creativity and creativity comes from freedom.
Freedom is the greatest tool for ultimate expression and the greatest expression is that of ultimate freedom.
Freedom has two aspects: freedom of self and freedom from self. In the state of freedom of self, you understand creativity.
Using your powers of manifestation, you create and express something unique; something original (I create).
In the state of freedom from self, from the vantage point of enlightened perspective; you understand creation itself and That which is the very source of all creation including yourself (It creates).
The wave (I) descends to its source and is no more a wave... but the ocean It-self!.
