If for the whole day you are engaged in only gathering information, you do not take out time for yourself to think and reflect. A few quiet moments are sources for creativity. Some time during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. But, during the day be 100 per cent attached to the work. Eventually, you will be able to be both attached and detached. This is the skill of living, the art of living.
Renunciation refills your energy. Creativity cannot happen just through efforts.
There is a beautiful story about chhatrapati Shivaji. At one time Shivaji became so frustrated about ruling his kingdom that he went to his guru Samarth Ramdas and told him that he is fed up and that he just wants to renounce everything. Ramdas told him that he can renounce everything. Shivaji became so happy and relaxed at the very thought.
Then Ramdas told him: "Now I am the king and you are my servant. Will you do whatever I ask you to do? "
Shivaji replied: "For you I am ready to do anything."
Ramdas said: "Very good. Will you run this country for me?"
Shivaji replied: "Yes, I will run the country for you!"
Total renunciation had brought zeal and enthusiasm in hum. Creativity springs up when you are relaxed. You have to renounce all work you have done the whole day, only then can you rest in the night.
Though many times pain, struggle and frustration have brought out creativity in some people, these are not the only reasons for a person to be creative. Millions of people in the world are struggling or frustrated, but they ate not creative. So, taking out some time for yourself improves the quality of your life.
