Much
energy is wasted in fighting with oneself; in rejecting, in condemning.
Much energy is wasted. If you start accepting yourself, you become a
reservoir of energy because then the conflict ceases; then there is no
civil war; then you are one piece. Much energy is preserved, and that
overflowing energy is creativity.
A person who is in conflict
with himself can never be creative. He is destructive, he is destroying
himself, and through himself he will destroy others also. All his
relationships will be poisoned. The most basic and the most fundamental
commandment is to love oneself. I don’t say only accept, because that
word is not enough — you can accept and you may not love. You may
accept, because what can be done? — you are in a deep helplessness, but
that is not acceptance.
Unless you accept yourself as a
blessing, unless you accept and welcome yourself, unless you accept
yourself in deep gratitude, unless you love yourself, you will never
become an overflowing energy. Then the energy can flow in song, in
dance, in painting. A thousand and one ways of creativity can be found;
or it can simply flow in deep silence. And whomsoever comes in contact
with that deep silence will be transformed and will hear for the first
time the music which is celestial. So not only accept, but accept with
deep gratitude.
Be thankful that God has made you you, and not
anybody else. Everybody has a unique function to fulfill, that’s why he
exists. And when I say everybody, I mean everybody. A Judas is as much
needed as a Jesus. Without Judas, Jesus will be poorer; something will
be missing in the story. So Jesus has to be thankful to Judas also. Not
only accept yourself, but accept everybody else as he is. God knows
better.
