There are two things always in expression. First is creativity, of course. You have to be a creative person. But you must have the technique. If you don’t have the technique then this creativity looks bizarre. So even if you have ideas, very poetic ideas, you must have the technique of putting it in. Prose poetry can be also very beautiful but you must know the technique, you must know the way how to put it across. Like you may be a great artist as a creative artist but you must know how to put technically. Supposing I am a great artist but I don’t know how to handle a brush, how will I do it? So both things have to be there. And that’s what I think, that because of Sahaja Yoga people are getting very creative and they are feeling the exuberance and they want to express themselves but the technique part of it is lacking, and the subtleties are lacking.
Creative expression also requires knowledge of technique
