7. CREATIVE INTUITION

Creativity in cognitive, aesthetic, ethical or religious activity springs from thought which is intuitive or spiritually quickened. There is no greatness, no sublimity, no perfection whatever be the line, without the touch of this creative energy of life. The heroes of humanity, its Buddhas and Christs, its Platos and Pauls, are all shaped after the same pattern and are inspired from the same elemental source of life. They have touched the deeps of spirit and speak from that undivided impersonal root from which our personal thoughts, emotions and strivings arise. The thinkers, the artists and the heroes, though they may not use, though they may often quarrel with the language of religion, are still religious in a true sense. For they have broken down the barriers between the individual and the universal. They have the sweet dignity, the quiet resignation, the patient faith of those who dwell in another world, the world of spirit. They are lonely, self-centred, not by choice, but by necessity. Genius has no place for team-work. Poets and prophets do not go into committees.
