The laws of true artistic creation are identical with the laws of spiritual creation. The creative
work of an artist is exactly the same work of inner regeneration as that undertaken by one who
is striving for spiritual perfection. Just as an artist uses paint and canvas, clay or bronze to
create a work of art, so a spiritual person uses the raw materials of his or her own being in
striving towards inner perfection.

Everyone needs to create, but true creation implies the intervention of elements of a spiritual
nature. An artist who really and truly wants to create, has to transcend himself, to reach
beyond his own limitations and, by parayer, meditation and contemplation, incorporate into his
work elements from above.
