Creative Energy

There is a different motive that can easily equal the energy of the ego, if not far surpass it. I call it egoless passion. The goal is to awaken egoless passion in human beings. It is all about awakened, deeply conscious, profoundly passionate, committed participation in the life process. The word “passion” is automatically associated with ego or a very strong self-sense. But there is a different kind of passion that is absolutely free from ego. This passion is synonymous with the energy or the impulse behind the evolutionary process itself, the force of creation itself. Egoless passion makes it possible to create and manifest things that one would never ordinarily be able to do if it were coming from ego. One begins to express something that’s profound and meaningful in a non-personal way. This passion has no end. There’s never a point where it’s over, because there’s always more to be done. When a conscious human being — who has transcended the fears and desires of the separate ego to a significant degree — feels this intense passion for evolution awakening within, it’s recognised as a sense of care, that something must happen that’s more important than anything else. And there’s a tremendous impersonal, non-egotistic passion in this. One has nothing personal to gain from it. It is possible to begin to care that much about something that one has nothing personal to benefit from. When it’s egotistical passion, one has everything to gain from it. It’s all about personal glory. But this passion comes from an overwhelming compulsion. It’s not for oneself.
