Before everything else, there was
nothing, not even darkness and out of that nothingness rose a desire like a
bubble in the stillness of a silent steady pool in a hot summer month.
The first time I read and tried to
comprehend the depths of the Creation Hymn in the Rig Veda I was left yearning
for more. But slowly as I read it again and again and again I started to
understand the basic tenet of all human progress. Desire rules us all and it is
not the desire for money, material, fame or even immortality. It’s the purest
of all desires; that of creation.
Behind every creation there is
desire. Behind every destruction there is doubt. And just like a slow poison
that eats away at the soul of your existence, doubt wipes away hope, like a bug
on drenched windshield.
We create, for a living, for a
love. We create, because we believe that out of the many failures of that
creation, a new existence will be born. We create, even when we ourselves are
full of doubt.
It’s easy to laugh off every
creation. It’s easy to say the world behaves in a fixed way and nothing will,
can or should be different. But we know, that one day, when the life we lead
brings us to a juncture that tips over to the right side with an idea, the
world will be a different place than we know it.
We create, because if we don’t,
the world cannot change.
